To anyone who can help me,

One of the greatest dreams of my life has been to write and direct a film and now that I have written a really "decent" screenplay, I believe that I can do that. Now, I know that to make a film independently is quite costly to us that have little cash, but I would like to know specifically how the costs are divided, such as camera rental, stock, editing, etc, etc. Now, I know Clerks was made for roughly 27k and I would be shooting for a budget of that or a bit less. If I could for instance, find out some of the specifics of the Clerks production, that would help greatly in telling me where I can cut costs if at all possible.

Thanks,
T. William Grimes
