Indie Filmmaker

I am prepping for a  35mm shoot for next month. One of the beautiful things about this gig is that everything I have asked for in my equipment package has gotten the ok. Bizarre and very new for me. I’m used to haggling with a producer or being told “you can only get the doorway dolly”. Whatever, I’ve done some incredible films with a Metrocard, Mag light and a note from my Mom. But also important for us Indie film folks is to know what to ask for when the money does show up. Otherwise we look like idiots.
