Did it really only cost $8,000????
I read somewhere that it only cost 7 or 8 thousand dollars to make, is this true?
Actually - that figure that you're quoting - $7-$8 thousand is a little high. I had less money than that to make the film.

Well that's even more impressive! Can I ask how long it took from pre to post? I feel I'm gradually getting closer to making something myself, so films like this really inspire me to get a move on.
Have you heard of a film called THE BATTERY? I'm sure you have, but if you haven't, you should look it up. It cost $6,000, and it proves there's still life in the low-budget Zombie genre, plus it's funny and inventive. It's one of my favourite films of last year.
Thank you for the kind words ;-).
It took us three years (about) from pre to post. That is where money directly effects things IMO - time it takes to get things done. If you can't hire someone - you have to learn all the programs yourself and then apply them. It's a long process doing it that way - but - then again - you either move forward and get something done - or wait and wait and wait for money to fund something - and I come from the mid-west with no connections in Hollywood to fund anything lol - anyway - that waiting for someone to give ya a shot just get's old IMO. I'd much rather just get it done myself and keep moving forward ;-)
I have not seen the movie you spoke of - but we have learned here in the studio - that once you start a process of making a movie - you get a bit inside a bubble and everything going on in the world get's lost for a bit of time.
I will check it out - thank you for the reply.

Well, congratulations on getting it done. It sounds like it was a long hard road, but it was worth it. Best of luck with the sequels. I'll post any other questions I have in the other thread you started. Thanks for the reply.
