Filmmaking / Directing : Financing or Crew / Casting by Eric P. Martin

Financing or Crew / Casting

I'm working on my first web series. I was wondering, what comes first.... Financing or trying to get casing and crew together?

Mark Souza

Get your money together first. You'll need to know what you have before you put offers out to people. (I understand wanting to get started right away)

Financing

Thanks Ross. I made a short project but it seems like not enough.

Bert Newsom

Yeah the budget is a factor, but make sure it is a good screenplay. I have used kickstarter and its a good site to use.

Peter Carr

The financing comes first. How can you secure crew, equipment and your cast if you cant pay them?. No Agent & especially union is going to let their clients work is you cant post a bond or have production insurance. Sure the talent could help secure the ore sale but its a catch 22 you must work threw
