“…telling Jeremy Bernstein in the mid-1960s that he innocently thought he could make the film for next to nothing: ‘I… found out how much feature films were being made for… millions, and I had calculated I could make a feature film for about ten thousand dollars… At this point I was the whole crew, cameraman, assistant cameraman, you know, director, everything. So I had no costs.”
