The second budget is closer to what actual costs would be in Oklahoma though actual estimates will be needed for a final budget.  The plan is to shoot this as a teaser on basically no budget.  We will shoot 25-35 pages and make it into a short film which a teaser trailer will be cut from.  
I will then take that teaser trailer and short to show to potential investors in the full length feature film.  At this point e decision will be made as to whether to pursue online crowd funding to get any remaining funding that may be needed.
If we are still in need of financing Gap Financing will be considered if we can sell international selling rights to toehr countries and take out a loan on the rest of the funding needed.
