Hi Frank. Great reel. Love the Nasa Team SloMo video! Very cute&funny. What's the LA scene like for indie filmmakers?
Hi Rowen! To be honest, I've been out here for three years and while their are tremendous opportunities, talent and resources available but it's definitely more EXPENSIVE to pull together an indie in LA. There are other factors in play but that's a major one when working on a indie budget. Before moving to LA, I was based in the Southeast -- where states like Louisiana and Georgia offer excellent tax incentives to productions. If you are working on a ultra low budget, where most folks are either favors or free, definitely shoot anywhere outside of LA.
