What I mean is, is that I want to produce and direct a feature, but having trouble budgeting it, to be shot in my Country, Canada. Mostly cause of travel expenses. I would have to fly to a bigger city to recruit enough actors, extras, and more options for crew, and the traveling expenses, and hotel bills quickly add up.
I was talking to my friend who lived and taught English is South Korea for a couple of years, and he says I should shoot a film there, as you can live like a king on Canadian money, as he put it.
So that might save me money it turns out. South Korea, is also a very movie making passionate country, so it may be a good idea. However, I would have to recruit Korean actors, rewrite the script to be set there, and shoot the movie in their language. Then I would have to market it back to the U.S./western film market in Korean though, and wondering if that's a good idea? Some foreign language films do well in America, but I want to market a movie in order to get work here, and not in South Korea.
Also I do not know if South Korea, will have a problem with me taking all the footage, and audio back to Canada, and finishing the movie there, and marketing it to the west first, before marketing it back to them.
What do you think, is this a good idea, to work around travel budgets in Canada, and can still make a marketable movie in the process or no?
