No Budget Confidential
Ep 7 of No Budget Confidential...
Robert Machoian's $60k Indie Sensation 
The Killing Of Two Lovers!
September 20th • 5pm PDT (8pm EDT)

It's been awhile, but No Budget Confidential is back! You remember No Budget Confidential, right? It's where I invite a successful no-budget filmmaker on for a no holds barred, no secrets kept, leave it all on the table breakdown of the making of their feature film. We take you through their entire process, start to finish, then we open it up for questions from you, the audience. 

I'm incredibly excited about this next episode. I've been trying to get Robert Machoian on for months, ever since I saw his incredible film The Killing Of Two Lovers on the big screen at the Landmark theater in West LA back in May. In fact, it was the first film I saw in a theater since before COVID. And it didn't disappoint. I was frankly blown away. I wasn't the only one. The film premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, (no small feat for a $60k indie), and was picked up for distribution by Neon, one of the top indie distributors in the business. The film was also nominated for the prestigious Cassavetes Award at the 2021 Spirit Awards, given to the best feature made for under $500k.
Two Lovers Poster
We'll talk about the experience Robert gained from making a slew of short films over many years, helping him develop his craft (he's had three shorts in Sundance over the years, one winning him a Special Jury Prize for Directing). We'll take a peek at the two no-budget features he made prior and how he leveraged his success with those to pull off Two Lovers. We'll go through how he financed and cast the film, how he worked with his 5 person crew, why he put half his budget into post sound design, (that's right, the film was made for $30k, with another $30k for sound), how he navigated Sundance and selling the film, and how he was able to raise the $500k to make his follow-up feature, which he is currently finishing. 
Two Lovers Trailer
And as always, we'll show plenty of clips and behind-the-scenes stills to illustrate what we're talking about, and answer all your questions. Everyone who registers will receive the session recording, in case you can't make it live. Oh, did I mention, it's FREE! So, sign up today! Space is limited.

Until then, have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend!
