A lot of people are being made redundant, and a few lucky ones are getting decent pay offs from their employers are part of those redundancy packages.
So what to do now you're unemployed with a large pile of cash burning a hole in your pocket?
One idea is to make a low budget short film. A group of Lord of the Rings fans has just released a short film on the internet called The Hunt for Gollum which cost just £3,000 to make. Unbelievable when you see how impressive it looks.

Failing that, you could always remake a classic old action adventure film, like these young lads did by filming their own version of Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It just shows if you've got a bit of time on your hands, plus a bit of spare cash floating about, then anything is possible. Guru is now off to remake Weird Science, he just needs to find someone to play Kelly LeBrock's character.

The Gollum fan film is getting a ton of coverage all over the net, and I'm not surprised as I've been writing about its production progress on my daily fan film blog, fancinematoday.com for months. For what it's worth, if you want to find out more about fan films in general, I wrote the first book about the history and future of 'em, Homemade Hollywood, which just came out. It actually includes a huge chapter on the Raiders kids and their incredible story.
