Here's a clip from the '80s of Francis Ford Coppola being pretty prescient about the lowering of the bar for making and distributing independent films with the help of technology.
"To me the great hope is that now these little 8mm video recorders and stuff have come out, some... just people who normally wouldn't make movies are going to be making them, and - you know - suddenly, one day, some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart - you know - and? make a beautiful film with her little father's camera...corder - and for once the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed. Forever. And it will really become an art form. That's my opinion."
