Yeah, I'm that kind of guy who occationally likes to click around on imdb and see how large budgets and income big Hollywood-movies has/had. And the other day i got curious about how much money professional skimovie companies get to make their films, so yeah here we are.
I think (not 100% sure) that Field had just around 2.6M$ on Supervention, and "In To The Mind" had around 4M (some guy that workes for one of the sponsors ranted about it in a thread under an alias not long ago)
I'll assume that companies like Stept doesn't need nearly that much funds on their productions, but their films is just as amazing as the more well funded flicks.
But what about the rest? Matchstick shoots only on 16mm and 35mm film and that's expensive as fuck!! And all the trips around the world with heliskiing on top of that!
I know that the skimovie industry isn't big money (yet) and get most of the funds from sponsors, but how tight is it really? Do they mostly get a solid proffit from their dvd's/bluray etc..., or does it happen from time to time that they don't?
I know that this matter is something many of those companies want to keep private and i respect that, but if some of you/them care to share that would be awesome!
Like i said, im just curious.
