I have an old Eclair ACL II from the 80s'.
I had an idea that I could make a film with just myself and a couple guys to help with equipment, get a couple local theatrical actors and minimise equipment. The biggest thing is sound. I want to film outside and I think, at this stage, having to worry about recording sound on location, being the only guy who knows anything about filming out of the people involved, would make it very difficult and more expensive.
Basically my question is: If I make this film and do the sound in post, leaving more money for stock - considering the sophisticated 21st century audience - what is the likelihood, even if the dubbing is good, of getting any distribution at all (i'm in the UK)?
Obviously I'm not looking for big-time distribution, any distribution would do - just so I have something against my name, something I can say I made and it was officially picked up.
Is it basically impossible to get distribution for a dubbed films nowadays, assuming the other content is watchable? I haven't seen any pure post-dub films since the influx of eastern bloc films in the 80s.
[Please don't tell me to get a digital camera...]
Thanks.
