Edward Burns, a longtime TriBeCa resident, shot the whole movie on a budget of just 9K usd, thanks to many friends who donated their time.

Good to know:
— Shot on Canon 5d II
— 12 days
— 3 man crew most days. 
— 1 man others
— Actors wore own clothes. Did own hair makeup. 
— Free locations

I think this is a little bit “scary” for those producers from Hollywood but not necessary – they still will have the biggest slice. Usually, a large budget goes to advertising, distribution, actors fee, editing (special effects, bla bla) and so on in case of big production, but this guy shows us that if you’ll have a good idea and enough guts everything is possible.

Well, if you find free locations, a bunch of friends who actually really trust in your project and this camera (around 3k – with a minimal Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM AF Lens or you can add 1.5k for an EF16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Autofocus Lens).

Duffy together with David Bailey and Terence Donovan is recognized as one of the innovators of “documentary” fashion photography, a style which revolutionized fashion imagery and furthermore the fashion industry. So influential were their images that in 1962 the Sunday Times dubbed Duffy, Bailey & Donovan the “Terrible Trio” and Norman Parkinson further added to their notoriety by naming them “The Black Trinity”. Together they dominated the London photographic scene, constantly pushing each other to new heights. Even socially they would spend many hours together talking, living and breathing photography. by Chris Duffy
