| Overview: | Perhaps the last great, truly independent film, "Boxes" was made for less than $300 by filmmakers Rene Besson and James Portolese, demonstrating once and for all that money does not make the movie. Ideas, imagination, and a small digital camera can be more powerful than a million dollars.
"Boxes" is about the boxes that dominate our everyday lives. You wake up in a box (your apartment), greeted by a box (your TV), drive in a box (your car), work in a box (your cubicle), talk to most people from a box (your phone)--from the cradle to the coffin, life is a series of boxes. You're in one, whether you realize it or not.
