Budgeting a doc…

One of the challenges of any film is the budget and a documentary is no different. Our budget is around $15,000 which by anyone’s standard is inexpensive, especially considering that includes equipment purchases. One good thing about a documentary is that the “subjects” should not be paid, this keeps it “real”.

For this documentary we are adding an additional $2000 budget after the initial shooting is done to add a section where we will be able to use that $2000 to change the kids life that we meet. To do this I hope to use the services of kickstarter.com and I am in the process of submitting them my proposal and hopefully that will go through and all of you will have a chance to participate in the project.
