Help me find an old website. Google has failed me. It was like a blog, but predated the greater Internet blog explosion of 2004, was by a man who ran an ISP and BBS in the early 90's, and later became an independent film maker. He might have been in Colorado too. Unlike most blogs, the aesthetics and writing was good, and there were years of archived material.

I'm looking for the best little low-budget movies that few people you know have seen, but ought to have. [more inside]

I really love the works of low-budget auteurs like Hal Hartley, Gregg Araki, and Jim Jarmusch (also, although they don't fit so much in the low-budget category, Richard Linklater and War-Kong Wei). Are there any other auteurs out there whose movies I should watch? To refine your suggestions, I'm not looking for classic directors like Godard or Bergman, or big names like Wenders or Greenaway or Tarantino or Von Trier. I'm interested in learning about directors who are not big names. Basically, I'm looking for interesting young directors whose films are available on DVD but have not emerged into the national spotlight.
