Article Comment – We Shot Our Film with a $600 Camera, 3 Lights, and No Budget (and Still Got Distribution)

OK, here's the big question (and maybe you answered it in the article but I didn't see it):
Did you make money from the distributor?
I did the same thing as you. I made an $8,000 movie, went through the festivals and got picked up by Gravitas as well. And besides the very small minimum guarantee, I haven't seen a dime from them in 2 years.
