guerrilla filmmaking noun. Low-budget filmmaking that usually features a skeleton crew, no location permits, street scenes shot on-the-fly, simple props and clothing, and nonprofessional actors.

Example Citation:
" 'Bowfinger' is more about guerrilla filmmaking, about what a director will do to get his name on the big screen, even if it means skimping and cutting corners."
