A film editor’s salary covers the costs of filming a film (including props, costumes, transportation, film equipment, and other related items), as well as studio time (including the costs of film production, post-production, post-production editing, audio edit, sound mix, and sound mastering). Film editors are paid on a base pay basis. In the absence of […]
In this short film we show you how the whole process of filming, editing and post editing can be done for a small budget. You will first need to register your film with your local Film & TV Licensing Board. Then you will need to create a production budget and budgeted days of shooting or […]
Yes, but the industry is still small, and the costs of production are high.

You know how it goes… When you’re an indie filmmaker, you’ll start to think “What’s going to work?” and people will think about what’s on the film festival circuit; they may say “Oh, that’s my film”, and they’re very disappointed. You may think “What if you went to an indie film festival? You’d never go!” […]
