BUDGET

It may be surprising, but short films can cost a lot. Most short films that have screened at large festivals or you have seen on HBO or Hulu can have a budget of up to $100,000. It's rare to find a short film that's true costs weren't around that amount. To have a quality look and feel and have an experienced crew and actors on board, it can cost a pretty penny. It's important to us to make sure we are paying our crew and actors what they are worth and a living wage. But to achieve all of this, we need some help.
