The budget for BROKEN is $13000. In order to raise this I pledge to MATCH every dollar you put towards this film with my own. (So if we reach the target, I’ll be paying half the film’s budget).
There are so many beautiful people I have met along the way who have shared similar experiences, and who encouraged me to continue with this project. This is for you.
On the plus side, I have access to fantastic equipment, and many of my current/former students are donating their time. Also, all of my cast are working for free, though I hope to be able to pay them back should the film make a profit.
My PhD is actually all about making great art with strict limitations, so I’ll be attempting to make the film with as little funds and resources as possible. I believe “Limits are the key to the Limitless” and the film is inspired by many of the renowned low-budget filmmakers and movements (i.e. French New Wave, Italian Neo-Realism, Dogme95).
$13000 is as low as we can go in order to get the film across the line.. If this can’t be raised, them the film won’t be made :(
