Duncan Campbell gets on board the US's first mobile anarchist digital video studio, and gets to see film-making and America in the raw

Parked on a side street in Venice, in the west of Los Angeles, is an old school bus with the following quotation from Jean Cocteau painted on its side: "film will only become art when its materials are as inexpensive as pencil and paper."
At a time when some actors are being paid more than $20m for a film and even a budget of say, $10m, is seen as small, Cocteau's words have a particularly timely resonance. And inside the painted bus, a bold adventure is underway to turn his words into reality.
