NBF 023: Average Movie Budget – Unforeseen Expenses of a No-Budget Film

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
