Isn that a low budget for a big movie?
£450,000 is approximately a third of the cost of an equivalent production. We are able to do this, without any loss in the quality of the final product, because: * The crew will mostly work at 1/3 fees (often minimum wage) plus a % of profits. * The production company will not take a production fee (usually 10-15% of the budget). * We have most of the skills and equipment in-house. * We’ve had a lot of practise making documentaries on low budgets.
