The odd setback is to expected in trying to produce a micro-budget film, but right now they're coming thick and fast and the will to continue is being severely tested. Hoping to find a saviour but looking unlikely. #microbudgetfilm
Making a micro-budget film is so difficult!!! Props/costumes companies hardly ever reply to you, agents likewise, funding organisations completely blank you. The obstacles put in your way are ridiculous! It really isn't worth the effort. #filmmaking#microbudgetfilms
All this effort to get a project off the ground and then you hear people, who have been encouraging and positive, openly disparaging it behind your back and humorously mocking your efforts to create something is a real punch to the guts.
After a busy Christmas and New Year period (I'd like to say break but was anything but!), work resumes on the development for 'Exploits of a Travelling Salesman' this week!! Exciting times! π
Calling all indie filmmakers, comedy lovers, and nostalgia fans! Exploits of a Travelling Salesman needs you! Weβd love to welcome you on board with our new indie film project! @britflicks@DiscussingIndie@Classicbritcom@classic_shows
To the filmmakers who:
β’ keep getting rejected from grants and film festivals
β’ canβt afford the camera package they dream of
β’ are exhausted from trying to get your film into production
We see you. Weβre so proud of you. Weβre here for you. We believe in you.
Casting, locations, wardrobe, production design, scheduling, cameras, lighting, sound, all on a micro-budget...glug, glug...drowning under everything that needs doing!! @_microbudgetpod@Britflicks
We're thrilled at seeing so many high-quality audition tapes coming in for 'Exploits of a Travelling Salesman'. It's making all of the efforts we're putting into this project worthwhile, though it does mean some very difficult decisions are coming up!!
