Where Will the CA$H Be Spent?
Food
No movie is a success without a group of people coming together and making the magic happen. This is very true for any film set, including "You've Got to Be Kidding".
Our wonderful team will be working for free for up to 12 hours for 3 days straight, which means that all of these dedicated people will not have food unless we feed them!
On many student films food is one of the biggest expenses, which is why it take the 1st place on our CA$$ list!
Here is what we will have to get to keep our crew happy:
crafty - a table filled with snacks, drinks, fruits or veggies;
lunch - a hot meal that will fill the bellies of our crew;
and last, but probably one of the most important parts of food and drinks - coffee!

Equipment
Even though the school provides some excellent tools to create many good quality short films, often it lacks those special few pieces of equipment that could take the short film rom being good to being GREAT!!!
We need your help to gather all of the necessary camera department tools, to create an exceptionally well shot film!
Some say that even the biggest amount of equipment will not make a difference if there is no good story; HOWEVER, our story is so fun, well written, beautiful and inspiring, that extra few pieces of equipment will definitely make a difference!!!!!
Please do not forget that all of this equipment has to be transported, which requires truck rentals!
Here are a few items form many that we will be renting out or buying for this film:
batteries for sound (buy)
gels for lights (buy and borrow)
few extra lights (rent)

Production Design & Wardrobe
What distinguishes a high quality film from a student film is the set design! Most student films suffer from white wall syndrome with lack of props, set design pieces, furniture, etc. In such case even the best light design, and acting, will not save the day!
It is true that our set requires quite generic props, and design pieces, which most students will have in their collection of school materials; however, there are few specialty pieces without which this film will not look believable!
Lets not forget about wardrobe! Appropriately dressed actors will better sell the tone of the movie creating a believable environment.
Here are a few things we will need for props & wardrobe:
architectural blue prints, photos, photo frames, picnic basket,office supplies; barber outfit, barista uniforms, etc.

Actors
Talent talent talent! Without our beautiful and talented actors, there would be no movie!
Because our actors are traveling from L.A. all the way to Orange, CA, the least we can do for all of them is compensate their gas. However, do not be deceived! With almost 10 cast members, the mileage piles up like autumn leaves!
The beauty of our film is that we have actors of wide age range, from minors to elders!
Please help us say thank you to our actors and their hard work, by at least compensating their gas mileage!
Here are our characters:
Ted - lead,
Amanda - supporting,
Armani - supporting,
Baristas - featured,
Mail Man - featured,
Cleaning Lady - featured,
Children - featured,
People - extras.

Insurance
The last, but not the least, is insurance. as we are using SAG actors and minors, it is required by law that we provide them with Workers Comp. insurance.
We want our actors to be safe!
