DIYLBM achievement


DIYLBM = Do-It-Yourself Low-Budget Media

The movie, For Lovers Only, is a romance flick produced by brothers Mark and Michael Polish. The pair used a Canon 5D and existing computer equipment to record and edit the film. The movie took 12 days to shoot and starred Mark Polish as the male lead playing opposite actress, Stana Katic.Not a single dime was spent on filming or producing the movie. The brothers' only expense was hotels, food and taxis which they would have incurred had they been on vacation instead of shooting a film.The movie climbed as high as #43 in iTunes Top 100 Movie chart and has grossed over $200,000 in profits. There was no expensive marketing budget, either. Most sales were generated by word of mouth or circulation on social networks.

This from a customer review on iTunes...
"This is one film you do not want to miss. The endless beauty it evokes will render you speechless. It is, by far, the most beautiful, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and realistic love story you will ever watch. Stana Katic and Mark Polish's pure chemistry is incredible and the songs only enhance each moment. You won't regret purchasing For Lovers Only."

And it is set in France...
