@mwlucas Sincere question: how much more does video production cost have to sink for you?
High quality equipment can already be bought or rented at ridiculously low prices. Green screen means you don't need heavy investment in scenery.
The highest cost now are person hours, even at "unknown actor" price ranges. That one is only going to go up.
I know I simplify significantly, and I'm not trying to push you here, either. I'm just wondering what hurdle - other than just having....
@mwlucas ... spare funds - you're waiting for to go away, because I see few.
Somewhat relatedly, maybe get in contact with Dead Gentlemen. They seem to be making films that fit your genre, have experience with quasi zero budget production, and already have a cult following.
