The first rule of Low-Budget Films: There's never enough money and there's never enough time. But an empty warehouse? A normal suburban house? An out of business business? So, with all of these things, think like a producer. If you write in a Jaguar (car or cat), that’s something that the producer will have to rent-a cost above the “base cost” of making the film! If your story takes place in a luxurious mansion, that’s not going to be easy or cheap to find. because each was “free production value.” So, if you know someone who owns a Jaguar (car or cat) put it in the script! When writing a screenplay to sell, think of what’s *easy* for the producer to get. On my first produced script, the embarrassing NINJA BUSTERS, the producer gave me a list of every location he had, every car his friends owned, every strange skill that his actors had, even his friend’s pets! And I wrote as many into the screenplay as I could. The additional thing to do if you are making your own film is to take an inventory of everything that you have access to-and write a screenplay that takes advantage of those things. Though these 15 things are aimed at writing a low-budget screenplay that you can sell, they also work for writing a low- or no-budget screenplay to make yourself.
