Amateur Porn Star Killer gets DVD release
By MicroCinema Scene • Jan 4th, 2008 • Category: NewsThe filmmakers at Alter Ego Cinema know a good thing when they see it. Their micro-budget ($45) film Amateur Porn Star Killer generated a lot of internet buzz, a DVD release and even a limited theatrical run. Now director Shane Ryan has made a sequel - slashing the budget this time to only $20.
According to the Alter Ego Press Release: “The new film, while adding a couple more people to the crew, still stays true to the original shoot by focusing the majority of the film on just two actors, but this time the budget actually dropped to a mere $20. Yes, $20, that’s correct, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. And that’s not the fun part. The fact that a $20 movie is getting major distribution isn’t the only humor in this either. Nope. What’s real amusing and completely unheard of, is that this $20 movie has secured a deal based on the trailer alone, the film wasn’t even close to being finished when the release date was set.”
Amateur Porn Star Killer 2 will be rleased on May 13, 2007 by Koch Entertainment and Cinema Epoch. If the sequel generates as much interest as the original, Ryan says he has at least four Amateur Porn Star Killer flicks planned. Meanwhile, he continues his quest to finance his dream project: Romance Road Killers. “If I don’t find anything within the next year, I’ll just do it myself,” says Ryan.

When I shot my film on $1000 people were dumbfounded, now this guy shoots a flick for $20 and get major heat? (At least for a micro-cinema). That’s wild.
