How did they get together this cast on $300K??


Granted, they're not all A-listers, but hell, if you watch the trailer it looks like a home movie... With Sig Weaver and Bebe Neuwirth!! Kudos to the director... But how did he do it?

im pretty sure it was filmed on video, or atleast really low-grade film. the actual price of film itself is very expensive, so by doing it on video you could save tons of money

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the actors took low pay for the film and then got compensated for shares when the film sold to a distribution company... And it sold pretty big... 20x the cost of making it. But I'm not sure if I'm remembering that. It was awhile ago.
