The Low Budget Film...

A low budget film has to begin with the conviction that the film must be made, whatever the circumstances are.

A filmmaker has to get obsessed with his ideas to give it form, shape and body. The crew... small but highly motivated and enthusiastic. Individuals who are totally in the film till the end and sometimes beyond it.

A film created with an inherent sense of panic is usually driven by various constraints like financial limitations, deadlines and other pressures that give it a fair chance of going beyond its expectations.

Pressure brings out the greatest potential in a filmmaker. Necessity is the mother of invention.

You have to be really, really sharp with your vision and know what exactly you are looking for especially with a low budget film. It is very easy to lose direction mid-way.
