With the right approach, you can create something truly impactful without breaking the bank. But to do that, you need to understand the ins and outs of on-set production. Every decision counts when you're working with a limited budget, and knowing how to navigate development, pre-production, production, and post-production can save you time, money, and headaches. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the biggest obstacles you will face when making a film under $500,000 is figuring out how to manage the entire filmmaking process—from pre-production all the way through post. It’s not just about writing a script that fits the budget; you also have to secure financing, build the right team, and make smart choices in pre-production that won’t balloon your costs during production. And once filming wraps, post-production can be just as challenging. How do you set realistic post timelines, choose the right editors, and create deliverables that distributors will accept?  You’ll learn how to navigate the entire journey with a sharp eye on your bottom line.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKristi Ray and Erika Arlee are filmmakers who know how to get things done in this budget range, and they’re here to show you how. Together, they’ve produced 16 award-winning films. Their work through Honey Head Films has set them apart as experts in producing films with strong, compelling stories and high production value—on realistic budgets. They’ve been in the trenches, solving problems creatively on set, and they’ll share the strategies they use to consistently turn indie projects into films that get attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn this exclusive 4-part Stage 32 class you’ll dive deep into every part of the filmmaking process. From choosing the right script and securing financing, to building a team that can execute your vision and navigating the post-production process, this class covers it all.
