How to Release a B-Movie Without Going Broke!

If you’ve always dreamed of creating and releasing a movie, there is good news. Along with the artistic freedom that remaining independent allows, it is now cheaper than ever to make your mark on the movie industry. Here are some tips on how to release a B-movie without going broke in the process.

Rent Your Production Equipment

Instead of trying to use your three year old video camera or spending a fortune on a new one, consider leasing your production equipment. There are a number of different companies that offer this equipment at affordable rates and they will take care of any repairs that aren’t due to negligence. You can lease out your sound and video production equipment, staging items, and even special effects machines. This is one of the best ways to remain within a minimal budget when making your film.

Put Your Friends and Family to Work

Most people would love to be part of a movie making project. You can use your friends and family members on the crew for staging, sound, camera operators, clean up or even put good ole’ Mom up to being a makeup artist. For the cast, you would be surprised at how many people are really good in front of the camera. Choose your lead actors from a local theater group or college and let your buddies try out for the other roles.

You should also include how royalties and other revenue will be handled, as well as a release for using people’s image without compensation.

Speak to someone who is experienced in this type of software to determine which one is best for your needs.

There are a number of ways to get around the high cost of making a movie. Leasing your production equipment is one of the best ways to cut costs, as is choosing your cast and crew carefully. When it all comes down to it, you could end up creating the next blockbuster without going broke in the process.
