This channel exists for us to share our knowledge and experiences on micro-budget filmmaking with you and to give you no BS tips and advice on various film related topics.
At the close of 2016, we came off two really draining, strict shoots. Big crews, government involvement, substantial budgets, and lots of egos from cast and crew made the process restrictive. We were ready to quit filmmaking. After over 10 years in the industry we'd lost the passion for filmmaking. Why? Because we were making films the traditional way.
To reignite our love for filmmaking, we threw out the rule book, making a feature film in 24 hours, with just six crew members, and no script. This changed the game for us and we haven’t looked back.
Join us on our journey as we shoot improvised films around the world, share what works for us and how you too can successfully produce and shoot films and content fast, on a micro-budget, without skimping on quality.

Looks like a lovely documentary to watch with the family.
It really is! Family friendly and an emotional ride.
I know these people. Every year I spend my vacation in Malta. Every time I'm there I visit the cats. I love you!!❤❤❤❤
Hello again! Malta is a beautiful island, hopefully they don't loose too many cats when they start their TNR programs so visitors can keep seeing them.
Saw the review on Film Threat. Very cool.
Wonderful, we're glad the film is getting out there. Film Threat are great! Enjoy the film when you get a chance to watch.
Also heard about this from Film Threat.
@@brucybad_dad4285 The word is getting out that the Maltese cats are out of the bag! 😉
Well done SJ!

Hi Marilyn, we too are Aussies. We were blessed to work on such a beautiful project with Malta's cat community while calling Malta home for four years. If you have watched the film, please leave a review on the platform you watched it on, it will be a big help to get it in front of others.
Looking forward to the release.

Thanks Tania. Your name is familiar -- We've seen it pop up a bit on social and I think the CoM newsletter. We are looking forward to your review after you watch.
thank you for your talent and words and kindness. ❤❤❤
You are welcome!
Great thanks. I made my first film with me and a DP very easy, fun and low budget. That was my film school. I now know how to make them fast also.
We love this and encourage it, plus you learn heaps too! Good on you for embracing this method.
Good, fast, and cheap! I’m happy you e covered this topic and provided a I depth breakdown. I just started working on shorts and micro filmmaking and think that this is great way to embrace an approach to filmmaking!❤
Thanks and we agree. We've been doing micro-budget filmmaking for years now and we believe more filmmakers should embrace it because you can achieve a lot with a little. Great to hear you are starting down this path :-) We actually started a new channel more focused on micro-budget filmmaking. Check it out if you like: ruclips.net/channel/UCAhuInglDEV3SprJVMTqaHw
Life Improvised" is a powerful and inspiring film about a father coming out of the closet and rediscovering himself. The film's honest portrayal of the challenges of coming out, along with its message of hope and self-discovery, make it a must-see for anyone who has struggled to find their true identity.
Thanks so much for watching and for this wonderful analysis... we are glad The Dance has resonated with you.

What is the pricing of Octobercoast a basic one indeed
OC is actually very affordable compared to other PR companies we have tried. One such company charged thousands upfront and had the same contacts we did and in the wrong genre for our film plus she expected the money upfront. This is why we now use OC -- they are no BS and they actually have great connections. Contact October Coast for the price list, very independent film friendly and has reach in the US and Australia.

really lovely. played with just the right amount of vulnerability by both actors, & some of the ways pauses are used or speech or action are delayed make it seem really real
Thank you Jenny-Anne, we really appreciate the feedback are are glad you enjoyed the film. And we agree, both John and Lara give wonderful performances 😀
Well done. We've all had those fake friends in our lives.
So true!!! Unfortunately I wrote it based on my own experiences as a director dealing with one said 'friend' who was an 'actor'.
Thanks for your comment ... We are glad you can relate.
This was such a great experience... A memory of my second visit to NYC and my first to Central Park I'll always treasure.
It was such fun and we are happy how it turned out. More visits to Central Park are in order. There is so much to see there.
Love shooting that time of year in Central Park!
We agree! The weather was cool, but not too bad for walking around...and filming. Thanks for working with us George and for liking and commenting.
so cool 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks, we had a great time photographing Italy 🙂
This was beautiful, Sean! It reminded me a bit of dancing with my daughter on her wedding day almost nine years ago ❤️
Love that! It's good to know that the film brought up a positive memory for you.
Do you set release dates for your indie micro budget films ?
What absolute bollocks. This really, really, annoys me. As you say, show blood, gore, violence, beheadings... but a nipple? Never!!
There is an ongoing taboo against naked bodies in film, and scenes showing people doing natural things, which is strange. We watch a lot of Art House cinema, so for us watching a person climb out of bed naked and walk to the shower or whatever is like watching a person brushing their teeth, natural and boring... But for some reason a majority of viewers (Hollywood) don't wan't to see that. And then s*x scenes, oh the horror! Yet you would think there would be more outrage over violence !
AMEN!
Machination is now streaming on VOD - link in the description. I'm doing an update this Sunday, I've been unwell with a cold since returning to Euro life.
That's my wife still trying to quarantine for 6 hours after a grocery trip.

Thx for the info! I was curious, how did you decide the genre of "Psychological Drama" instead of "Psy. Thriller"? I have a feature that's a balance of the two as well, we're about to gear up for Distro. Are you seeing a lot of Psy.Drama options when distributing? Is that a common genre for platforms?
Hey Paris, good question and congrats on your release. Machination is about a woman with undiagnosed mental illness. It shows her breakdown during a period of isolation and a lot of the story is driven by this breakdown and what comes up for her during it, which is past psychological trauma brought to the surface. Trying not to give away too many spoilers, that is the best way I can explain it. We have also marketed it a psychological horror, because the horrors of the mind can sometimes be scarier that what one can see. Plain old drama can sound a bit flat sometimes too, horror gets people's attention. No idea what the common genre is for platforms, pretty sure it depends more on the content than the genre, from experience.

Do you still set a release date for your films?
Thanks for sharing. One critique - maybe have less movement or use a mic stand - to avoid noise issues
Thanks. We usually use lapel mics, but we didn't pack them on this trip to Melbourne from Zagreb as we had so much gear. It was meant to be a short visit but we stayed months! We always use lapels for our films too, due to improv.
@@NexusProductionGroup definitely on the lapel mics - unless someone's monitoring that sound, always safe to leave the mic and cable alone
@@LeeBailes Yep. :)

Yes, there is so much silliness and fun here but I think it’s really worth noting the production value. The look and sound of this film is very impressive. Congratulations.
Thanks for watching Steve and for your comments. The score is phemominal. If you see the credits, its a long one for sound design as Mark Edwards and Anastasia did a wonderful job working with a band to get the right feel for the overall film.
