Given the characters in the film wear generic clothing (no special costumes), how much is each set of clothing for each character expected to cost?

Still in development/budgeting…

Really open ended question. Custom tailored suits are a few grand each, or primark a few quid. Is your character a rich debonaire spy who dresses to impress, or a construction w…

The guys at Belt Craft studios are super lovely and can be accommodating to smaller budgets if it's non-commercial. Not sure you can get a car in there but I think I've seen a lar…

Hi All,

The line I've heard from Sundance is that if a short is ten minutes or less it doubles the chance of being programmed, and that anything over 10 minutes (10 to 15 minut…

Even better Ray. Though I'm tempted I'm not yet driven. No doubt when needs must though.
