Indie Film Track: Microbudget Filmmaking in the Lone Star State

The biggest obstacle to getting your film made can be the budget, and a lot of extraneous costs can be eliminated in the script itself. Join this panel of Texas filmmakers as they discuss planning, incentives, and how to keep the vision big with a budget that is transcended by the breadth of imagination, almost as big as the Lone Star State itself.

This panel is presented by the Austin Film Commission.
