Masters of the Micro Budget is a FilmRogue interview series documenting how independent films are actually made, paid for, released, and monetized. Each episode focuses on one film and breaks down the real numbers behind it: budget, funding, shoot days, crew size, marketing spend, distribution path, revenue, recoupment, and the lessons learned along the way. This is a practical series for filmmakers who want to understand the business and logistics behind microbudget filmmaking, not just the creative dream of getting a movie made.

Real Budgets. Real Lessons. No Fluff.
