How do I use the budget for my independent film?

With the budget for your independent film, every dollar has to be spent wisely. Sometimes it's important to go out there and spend a lot of money on getting a big star to be in your independent film because that gives you a better chance of getting your film seen and getting attention and news and stuff about your independent film. But at the end of the day you've got to pay for the technical stuff as well , the filming and the lighting. You also want to have a good director of photography so that the independent film looks nice, and can actually be seen, in focus and colourful and all those things. So you really have to spend your money wisely and not waste anything when making your independent film. There's no reason why there needs to be crab omelettes on the set of your independent film as that costs money. So spend your money wisely and if you are going to go big on an actor or a big name director, then you've got to take that as a cost of wanting to make your independent film and getting it seen.
