Crafting Cinema on a Shoestring: The Art of Microbudget Filmmaking

Making a film without money is never easy, but for many queer filmmakers, it is the reality. This panel explores how to create ambitious, intentional work with limited resources while staying true to your voice. From grassroots fundraising to scrappy production techniques and alternative distribution strategies, we will break down what it actually takes to get a project off the ground and into the world. We will also look at how community becomes a key resource, and how limitations can shape not just the process, but the creative identity of the work itself.
