A friend of mine showed me this great indie the other day? it?s called How to Live With a Vegan Without Killing Them. It?s basically about a meat eater, Scott, whose vegan girlfriend, Andrea, moves in with him, causing hilarious stress for both. One day, Scott runs into his ex who he truly loves. Meanwhile, Andrea falls for the charming vegetarian coffee shop guy. It?s a cute romantic comedy with jabs and jokes about both meat eaters and veggie lovers alike.

The film is very well shot for a low budget ($15,000) film. It?s got some good examples of lighting, location shooting, coverage, and editing. According to the filmmakers, it was shot on a Sony DXC35WS, allowing a 15:1 shooting ratio not otherwise afforded shooting on film. It?s a great example of how one should shoot a feature length video on a budget.

You can watch the trailer for the movie here: ?url? http://www.bside.com/films/howtolivewithaveganwithoutkillingthem ?/url?. If you like it, the site allows you to download the film DRM free (either $2.99 or $7.99) or buy the DVD. Check it out and let me know if you liked it as much as I did.
