MICRO BUDGET MADNESS

We absolutely understand that choosing to work with micro-budgets you have to be mad on some level - hence we named our educational YouTube channel Micro-Budget Madness! Don't get us wrong, being a micro-budget filmmaker is not a bad thing, it just means that you have to approach filmmaking with a DIY mentality.

Though this channel we break down how to produce, shoot and distribute micro-budget films with examples from our own micro-budget films, as well as mainstream films with a micro-budget element. We share all our experiences, from festival tips, career advice, distribution, smart business practices and everything else in between!

Want to know how we shoot our improvised micro budget feature and short films with limited crew, budget and resources?

Then you must check out the channel, subscribe and don’t forget to hit the notification bell to get a heads up when we post a new video.

Thanks to independent film news and review site indieactivity for doing a write-up about Ivan Malekin’s book Improv for Indie Filmmakers and sharing a sample chapter.

The book uses multiple real-world case studies, plus our own experiences, to illustrate the many benefits of improv and how putting away the script can lead to new discoveries, making your work fresh and exciting. Improv for Indie Filmmakers will show you how to save time and money by working efficiently at all stages of the production process so you can make more films, faster.
