Reply to comment by PeanutSalsa in Chloe Traicos who plays Gloria Freeman on The Righteous Gemstones would love to talk to you all about the show by GloriaFreeman
Heya. Hmm now this one's got me cause I can't give exact figures simply because I don't remember. But where I can I will. Insurance was around $4-5K. That's always a must for me. The lead actors ( except for myself) were all paid upfront (micro budget SAG rates) For the smaller cast members payment was deferred. Crew wise the DP, camera crew and head makeup artist were paid upfront. Several grand was spent on equipment. And in post a couple of grand spent on the editor, sound and musicians. Everyone else was deferred. Jon who was our editor and director kindly deferred his directing fee ( he's a good friend and had been on board the project from Day 1 so it was his baby too) A couple of grand was spent on locations (can't remember how much all up The biggest one was the movie studio we rented which I think was 7K. Although our 2 best ones - the mansion and the office were kindly given for free. And as with every movie several grand is always spent on catering and craft services because when it's low budget you want to keep everyone well fed. But yes check out the film yourself and feel free to private message me with your thoughts.

Is deferred conditional to if the film makes back more than its budget?

Yes basically when the film makes back money the investors are reimbursed first then the actors and director, crew etc
