Hey, at least he was honest about it not being an investment. Shorts rarely do see a payoff. I pay for my own films too, but it is really breaking a golden rule to do so.
RIght now I am acting as co-producer on another production and my job is to get donations of goods to get the film done. Most of them are promotional items that will be featured in the film, so the people donating are guarenteed a certain amount of publicity, but only as much as we get an audience.
