Making "The Box" on a Micro Budget
How does a movie get made? Well, we've all seen "behind-the-scenes" or "making of" featurettes. If you're really into the "backstage" kind of thing you might even be a Project Greenlight "junkie". But even Project Greenlight was dealing with budgets in excess of a million dollars. How does a movie get made if you're talking about more like a thousand bucks? Well, Freedom Productions and Microbudget-Movies.com are going to take you through the whole process, step-by-step, as they undertake the making of a new feature length movie called "The Box".
Come Along for the Ride!
Follow the project from concept to completion.
Written and directed by Scott Freiheit (Paradise, Earth Women) "The Box" is a surreal, existentialist story about a man who wakes up in a strange room that appears to have no doors and windows and tries to communicate with his unseen captors and the occasional fellow captives that come and go at random intervals. He has no idea why he's there and only fragmented memories of who he actually is and where he's supposed to be in "real life".Produced by, Freedom Productions the making of the "The Box" will be documented on a regular basis at the Microbudget-Movies web page. All of the ups-and-downs of shoestring movie making will be shared with the public in an informative and entertaining way. Whether you're an aspiring microbudget moviemaker yourself or just curious about how someone can make a professional quality feature film for hundreds, instead of tens of thousands or even millions of dollars, you're invited to come along for the ride.
