Independent producer opens a window on the filmmaking process

Company Town | Los Angeles Times: "You have a great butt," one of the producers observes.
Normally, such behind-the-scenes banter would be off limits to movie audiences or maybe only available in the bonus features of a DVD.
But the producers of this ultra-low-budget romantic comedy about a deadbeat actor and his sister who becomes mixed up with the mob took an unorthodox approach: They decided to turn the cameras on themselves, using a live video stream to let viewers watch the production from beginning to end and interact with the film's cast and crew through a chat room.
