NBF 023: Average Movie Budget - Unforeseen Expenses of a No-Budget Film
September 25, 2018
What is an average movie budget for a "no-budget" film?
A movie shot on an iPhone still had a budget of over $100,000?!?! Filmmakers thinking they are going to make a film super cheap, or free even, need to beware of underlying costs. Alex and Trevor dive into all the ways shooting a no-budget film could cost you. From the food to the art department, to the post-production expenses, "no-budget" doesn't mean there will be no costs.
In this episode, we discuss the costs associated with:
- Equipment
- Location
- Craft Services and Meals
- Actors and Crew
- Wardrobe and Props
- Post-Production
- Distribution
- Plus, spending time and favors to finish your project
