Best Field Camcorders
How does one go about funding an independent feature length film?
A friend and I are in the early stages of putting together a zombie movie. We’ve done some stuff in the past, just with camcorders and other super low budget techniques, but we want to make this movie for real. All we have right now is a rough outline and a list of friends who might be interested in acting in the film. Are there any goverment grants, or companies who supply funding for this sort of thing? And what would be the best way to get a company to sponsor the film? I’m estimating somewhere in the field of $5,000-$10,000 to make this movie.
Most independent producers make their first movies from maxing out their credit cards and borrowing money off friends and family to make a decent flick to enter into every film festival they can find and hope that it wins some awards and hopefully capture the eye of a a would be investor and major producer.
Saw got its start as an 8 minute short film that caught the eye of a producer attending a film festival.
Robert Rodriquez got his start by producing “El Mariachi” with $7,000 of money he saved by participating in a paid sleep study and again, it caught the eye of big money producers.
