We want to do the right thing and pay a fine crew a fine wage. Including cast. Yes, we can all make films on a shoestring and smile and accept praise for doing something with nothing. We've all done it before. BUT that requires a lot of free labour from a lot of people. Thus far we have recruited a lot of great and talented team members at the start of their careers and we'd like to pay them a good industry standard fee for their hard work. This is mostly what the money is needed for. Location hire, catering, travel, and post production (editing, festival entries etc.) are also cost considerations. Despite these expenses we are still keeping costs way down in the equipment and costume areas.
