Rick Schmidt is an award-winning American low/no-budget feature filmmaker, with 26 indie features to his credit. He is also author of the seminal filmmaking book, Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices (Penguin Books, 1988, 1992, 2000), regarded as 'the indie filmmaking bible' by MovieMaker magazine. Frameworks magazine has called Schmidt a major innovator, in the era of early 1990s independent film, and Library Journal adds that his book has helped lead the way for film-artists to create their works outside the Hollywood system. With over 100,000 copies in print, 'Used-Car' filmmaking has helped noted film writer/directors like Kevin Smith/Clerks and action star Vin Diesel to establish Hollywood careers.
