Thomas Gulamerian is a logistics executive who has saved Fortune 500 companies millions in operational costs, through time management and micro-budgeting practices. He applied the same budgetary discipline to his first indie-feature, Courier-X, which he produced and directed while still maintaining his full time job responsibilities. Though the production intent of the film was to do nothing more than test/apply the logistics industry's budgetary disciplines to film budgeting (to see how far a dollar could be stretched in relation to production value) the film went on to win multiple awards on the festival circuit and was ultimately produced for only $300K.
