Something like a subgenre or a niche seems to have been developed with the recent influx of low budget films like Mutual Appreciation, LOL, The Puffy Chair, et al. Dance Party, USA is yet another of these super-low budget / DIY / self-distributed / DV films that's achieved a fair level of attention as of late. With its modest $3K budget and three week production period, it's not just the film's modest scale that links it to the others, however: there's something about its raw intimacy and stylistic approach that gives it a deeper connection to these other low budget films. Are these movies the beginning of a possible new age of DIY film? Whatever the case, Dance Party, USA is now screening at the Pioneer Theater in New York City and available for purchase on DVD through the official site.Dance Party, USA
