Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The young directors of the French New Wave often had limited budgets and relied on location shooting to reduce costs. Many of them borrowed money or used their own funds to make short films and features. They also tried to break away from classical Hollywood cinema by using unconventional storytelling techniques and experimenting with new styles of filmmaking. They did not study under older French filmmakers or form a filmmaking cooperative that approved films for quality.
