Exploitation is a two way street.
A number of keen young filmmakers (see crew list & photos) who worked for a day or two without payment on Streetsweeper (total budget $20,000) also “volunteered” to work on that other recently released Novocastrian feature film (which had a budget of $3,000,000). I’m proud to say that we at least fed our crew very well… & made sure everyone got invited to the numerous free (& celebrity-free) screenings. The new local surf film had it’s red carpet opening the other night and it turns out the “cheap” (i.e. unpaid) crew weren’t invited: shabby! NM
