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.

Choir Girl is finally out on iTunes in the US and Australia. Filmed in Melbourne in 2017, this bold black and white feature has been a long time coming.

A photographer has found his muse. A 15 year old prostitute. How far will a nobody go to be a somebody?

A confronting film that tackles loneliness and obsession, the struggle for recognition, and the blurred line between art and morality, Choir Girl is the debut film from John Fraser and produced by Ivan Malekin of Nexus Production Group, and is led by a veteran Australian cast, including Peter D Flaherty (Bikie Wars), Jack Campbell (Underbelly), Krista Vendy (Neighbours), Kym Valentine (Neighbours), Andy McPhee (Wolf Creek), and Roger Ward (Mad Max). Plus introducing newcomer Sarah Timm, who stars in our very own In Corpore, also coming soon.

Pre-sales begin today on iTunes right here. And check out the Choir Girl website here to learn more about the film.
