We had around $4,500 AU, and later we added and extra $1,500 to get the helicopter and other extra shots. Q . What were the limitations you faced with the production? The main challenge was the budget, $6,000 can sound like a lot of money but in film just to hire equipment for 3 days can cost you around $4,000.

Who were your key collaborators? Our key crew/production
