I can tell you exactly what this ultra-low-budget movie has cost me thus far: $2,052. When you’re a university student, this represents a lot of money. And it is.
Consequently, I’ve dropped out of my only Fall class at the university. Starting this Tuesday, I’ll be working full-time at FutureShop (electronics retailer.) There’s more reasons to this than pure finances, but that’s a pretty big factor.
Simply said, if I didn’t do what I’m doing now, I wouldn’t be able to afford the much more important Winter semester. I’ve transfered that one Fall class to some equivalent in the Winter, and I’ll be better off for it. So it’s win-win.
The only thing that will be affected is the shoot. Though given the current progress, it shouldn’t be a real issue. I’ll try to do a shoot Monday, and if that works I’ll be in an even better position.
