Can someone tell me what the words “low budget” actually mean in the film industry? How cheap does a film have to be to be considered “low budget?” Are there indie films that are “high budget”? What would an example of that be? I can never tell from looking at a movie how much money was spent on it, I can’t even get within the range. I saw a great “low budget” movie called “Outsourced” last weekend – anyone else see it? How much do you think it cost to make?
