I didnt realise how long this thread has been going on. I watched your trailer alex, a while ago when you first posted it. And after seeing it I picked my jaw up from the floor and really re-evaluated my position on low budget filmmaking. Just for me alone to see how far your short has taken you really lifts up my spirits on the idea that it CAN happen. I use a dvx1oob, and never knew the camera had the power to give that sort of look (with help from your lighting etc etc). I am going to try to order the DvD today if i can, I just realized you were selling them. Anyway Great work man, really.

Alex gives a COMPLETE rundown on how to make an indie movie look good. My tips, which seem universal: use a good camera, a great DP, get some good G&E (grip and electric), if you can afford a gaffer get one, and edit/color correct accordingly in post.

I can't stress the DP part--shooting my movies and trying to direct was always disastrous.

My pleasure, Alex. You produced your own mini-film school, and that's great! We should get you in to speak at the film school I work at (www.palmbeachfilmschool.com) again.

To Alex and BROKEN crew-
I recieved my DVD in just about a week after ordering. Great job! I loved the DVD extras, I have already implemented a few ideas for my upcoming production.

A couple of quick questions for ya:
How long was your production process, specificly from the time script was completed to the last minute editing right before your trip to Sundance?

Also, how long was your preproduction time (rehersals and test shooting/editing)?

Thanks for all the inspiration and advice!

Thanks so much man!!! Keep your eye on the prize!!!

so you are working on remaking broken so that it can play in theaters? have you found a studio backer?

WOW! Great looking trailer! Nice job!

wow,great job,im going to buy my copy this week,cant wait to see it!

Alex,

I was wondering, how much was your actual total budget and how did it break down? Also, did you factor in the costs of cameras, tripods and mounts, and lighting rigs into the budget?
