As a filmmaker myself I know exactly what you are going through... I just spent the last year of my life saving up for the film I shot last month. Countless hours in Pre-production that I'll never see a dime for. Not that I'd want to - seeing my film come to life has been an incredible experience. I was able to bring some relatively known television actors into my small town in rural Upstate New York, and most of the budget went towards them - even though they were on set for only 2 out of 8 shooting days lol. Even though I was the one footing the bill, it was a great time. I've still got to finish Post, but I'm so damn close! I'll do it again next year, and every year to come after that until I die. I wish you much success with your endeavor, and I hope to be able to see your film soon!

Thanks for sharing your experiences as well. The indie production world is crazy as hell, but man is it worth it when you get to make something awesome! Would love to see your project as well, so definitely link me if you post it!
