One of the biggest frustrations involved with producing an
independent film is money: specifically, a lack of money. Since we
first discovered we would have the opportunity to adapt Tom Kline's
play and produce it as a film, there was a certain item Jason and I
knew we would need to ensure that the film could hold its own as a
professionally produced film in a highly competitive market. This
item usually costs from a few thousand dollars to $10,000 or more, so
there was no way we would be able to afford it and would just have to
do the best we could without it. Then in mid December, we found this
item selling significantly cheaper than we had seen before. We're
talking a few hundred dollars; and it looked just as good as the ones
selling for $10,000. Now, however, we were faced with another
dilemma: where would we get the money to pay for it. Jason and I
still have props, set supplies and costumes to purchase for the film. But just when the standard
low budget film producers' disappointment set in, two different
friends gave us money for Christmas and told us to put it towards I
Love You Because. Their combined gifts were just enough to cover the
cost of this particular item.
So, we are sending out a big thank you to these friends, and our sincere gratitude. Your support has enriched the production value of I Love You Because, and it will be a better film for it.
