Micro Budget Filmmaking: What 10K (Or Less) Really Buys You

Think you can make a movie on a shoestring budget? So did we. In this episode, we break down what it really costs to budget an indie film, sharing real numbers (and real mistakes) from our own micro budget productions.

We’ll cover:

• How we stretched $10K across locations, gear, and craft services

• What “zero budget filmmaking” actually means (hint: it’s not zero)

• Where most of your budget actually goes (and where we blew it)

• SAG-AFTRA’s low and ultra-low budget agreements, explained (mostly)

If you’ve ever wondered how to make an indie film without maxing out a dozen credit cards, this episode’s for you.
