Introducing myself. I'm a filmmaker and come from commercials and documentaries but I've been forging ahead with a couple scripted projects. I'm curious if anyone is working in the micro-budget space and if they see any momentum for projects? I can't seem to write to low budget, so I've been spinning a bit to move things forward in the current economic climate ... I'd love to hear some success stories to fuel my tank! cheers.

Great to meet you, Jason Baffa. I write micro-budget scripts, mainly short scripts. I struggle sometimes to write micro-budget feature scripts. I'll start off writing a micro-budget feature, then I'll add things that turn it into a low-budget script. I have to keep reminding myself "micro-budget" and remove some things.

Hey Jason Baffa, great to hear from you! I agree it's tough to strip everything back from low to micro-budget. Too many sacrifices to make! My trick is to go 1 main location with multiple "pick up" type locations with much shorter scenes that can hopefully add some visual variety!
