Budgeting for Services
Prioritise sound
Bad audio sinks indie films.
Rent, don't buy
For short schedules.
Ask for indie rates
Some providers support independent projects.
Keep contingency
Small buffers save shoots.
Agreements and Credits
Get written agreements covering fees, deliverables, rights, and credits. Many independent collaborations rely on goodwill; paperwork keeps it intact. For the bigger picture, see how to make a micro-budget feature and the film production process by department.
