Is Your No Budget Script Limited?

                The Sky is The Limit on Your No Budget Script

    Just because this is going to be a low to no budget screenplay does not mean that it has to take place in an abandon building or a kitchen. You can include anything that is available in the free world. What I mean by free world is the places all around us that cost nothing to shoot a movie in.

    I understand that you are not shooting the movie, just writing it, but you have to think as if you are. Where can I set my scenes that will cost little to no money while at the same time adding something to my script. Hopefully adding size and or scope to your script. Many free interiors are parking garages, auditoriums, meeting halls. If you include scenes in a school, do not worry about the cost, many schools will allow a film crew to visit just as a teaching exercise. If your story offers positive views of the church, many churches will allow your story to be shot there for free. Many public places will be available for free or a small fee. What I am saying is do not be afraid to add size to your script just because you believe that a location you wish to include will cost too much so why bother. I am telling you to go ahead and included it. If the scene is solid and is necessary for the script it will get shot. If the location you have written about can not be gotten there will be a way to work around it.


    Most out door locations are good. You can always include a athletic fields. Parks, woods, open land. If you are not only the writer, but the film maker as well you will no if there are hills or mountains or water ways near and available. If there are farms or factories or scrap yards that can be used. The size of your free budget is largely up to you.

    Some of you reading this use to live in big towns and near economic centers that have now become much smaller or are past the point of no return. Left behind are factories and shipping centers. Left behind are boat yards, docks and storage areas. They are just waiting there to become a part of your story. These forgotten places can make a no or low budget script seem like a medium to big budget script.
