I suppose they probably get at least that much value in free publicity from articles like these and us talking about them online. Now they can pitch their next project as coming from the brilliant minds of chart-topping filmmakers. Bravo to some guys that figured out how to game the system a little. I hope enough people rent the movie to get their fee back.
- Jedd 6y ago> Oh, so it's not a $0-budget movie. Note that the movie's actual production cost / budget was indeed $0. In order to then get to the top of this particular list on IMDB - by showing the movie in an actual cinema - that bit cost some small number of $'s, according to TFA.
- parsimo2010 6y agoIn strange Hollywood accounting you're right. But it's a fact of real life accounting that you can't take a loss on something that cost $0.
