At risk of shameless self promotion, a documentary that I worked on will be screening at the IFC center on March 29th. The movie has a great backstory, and although biased, I think it's a great movie.
The director self financed it by cleaning houses in Philly. He had no connections, no money, nothing but will, talent and a refusal to quit. By some stroke of something, the movie was accepted to the Sundance Film Fest and won Best Director in its category. The doc itself is about cryptic street messages that have appeared in streets in Philadelphia, NY, Baltimore, DC, Kansas City, Buenos Aries, Rio and dozens of other places over the past 30 years. Mostly, it's a character driven mystery.
The director wrote, edited, produced, color/sound corrected and shot pretty much all of it himself. He taught himself how to write a score... because he couldn't afford to hire anyone. And its an amazing score. I don't see an embed option on the wysiwyg thing here. You can read more on the movie and watch a couple clips at imdb:
