The sensible guys build to budget. The idea is to keep the overhead low so you can reap the magic of raising the real estate without having a big turkey to sink you.

The very idea of supernatural magic - including miracles - is incoherent, devoid of sensible meaning.

There's still a death by 1,000 insults on the course. It's there as a background hum, this feeling that the men don't really want them there. Getting rid of bigotry is a slow process.

A low budget is uncomfortable.

You're only as good as your next idea. And if you can't agree on that, then it's time to walk.

Work is good when people are responsible, and in low-budget movies a lot of the actors don't want to be there. They're there to build a resume.
