E03 - Indie Panel: Micro To The Max

How do you maximize your low budget production? What factors must you consider when choosing where to spend your money? Daymaker Productions Founder & CEO, Sofia Monroe, and Writer/Director, Dinh Thai, give us the inside scoop. 

 

Topics include:

• What are the most important line items on a low budget production? What are common omissions?
• What percentage of a buffer does a project need for unforeseen expenses?
• Line Producer vs. UPM
• Are there benefits (contractual, festival, etc.) to keeping a budget below a certain threshold?
• Beyond crowdfunding and investors, what are other pathways to financial support?
• Should a first time creator fit the budget to the vision, or the vision to the budget?
