What was the budget for your first feature film?

[AndAction]

Hey guys, I have a couple short films that will be finished mid-January. We are using these to pitch our first feature film. I know you have to start small but wanted to know what you were able to raise for your first feature film and if you're willing to share, what route you went to secure the budget?

Thanks!

We have shot 14 no-budget feature films, and our average budget is $2000 to $2500. If you want to look up some of them on you tube, go to: Detour to Hell; Stoned Dead; Dying For Dollars; The Vacant House; Bad Spirits; He's Dead, etc.

How much do you have saved up? That's your budget.

Don't depend on crowd funding. What's your backup plan when it fails?

That's the best frame of mind to work with.

Plan for Murphys Law.

My first was $600, the second was $200, and the last was $2000. All out of pocket, all made back their budgets.
