amateur film

Amateur film refers to movies created by individuals outside of professional filmmaking industries, often as a hobby or personal project. These films are typically made with accessible equipment like smartphones or basic cameras and may lack the high-budget resources of commercial productions. Despite limited budgets, amateur filmmakers can produce diverse and creative works, showcasing personal stories, experimental techniques, or artistic expression. The term emphasizes the grassroots, non-professional nature of the filmmaking process, fostering artistic exploration and community sharing without the constraints of commercial filmmaking standards.
