S3 E3 | Making Costume Design Magic Happen on an Independent Film Budget

The Break Breakdown: A Podcast from Queens Bird Films

Low budget indie films usually require lots of cutting corners. So why is costume design important? How can you get visual bang for your microbudget filmmaking buck? And what is the one department you really can't live without?

Costume designer and producer Allison Koehler joins Courtney today to answer those questions and more. From costume design as character analysis to pulling off slick, aesthetic indie film costume ideas within her budget constraints, Allison describes how costume design in film can make or break a project.
