My understanding is that distribution is the main hurdle most indies face in today's broken film marketplace. The camera you shoot your movie with, at any budget, matters little if no one can pay to see it.
I see name directors using it, but $75 million is out of the question. I will be shooting a feature on an cellphone that will have only 4 main characters and 4 locations. We plan to shoot in 4 days, but honestly it may take a little longer and the editing will be a real adventure.

If you can make it for much cheaper, and still at a high quality, this might leave much more budget for marketing and distribution.
