Our budgets are exactly $0.00, so we don't have to worry about financing it. obviously, that makes the position of producer kind of useless, especially since this kid has handled casting and working out areas to shoot as well. so basically i'm going to be the assistant director along with this other girl. if this turns out to be shitty, it'll only be 2 days worth of wasted time due to it, so...whatever. if somehow the kid manages to put together something respectable, what the hell.
