UNDERPAID?! Crew Members on Obsession Speak Out!| The Nick Williams Show Ep.84

Obsession reviews and audience scores are through the roof for the youtuber crashed smash hit horror movie. While a surprise to everyone just how successful the movie has been, it has caused the art director on this low budget indie creation to be upset that she didn't earn the big bucks. But does she deserve more money, or is she killing her future potential by squabbling over pennies today? Is Obsession worth watching? A $750K indie film became a massive hit. Should the crew get a cut too? Recently, a crew member from "Obsession", sparked debate and controversy after criticizing how little they were paid compared to the film's recent box office success. In this episode, I break down the facts behind indie film financing, backend participation, ownership, risk, and crew compensation. I also explore whether filmmakers should share profits with their crews, why some productions offer backend points, and why labor and ownership are not always the same thing. If you're an independent filmmaker, producer, actor, cinematographer, editor, or crew member, this episode dives into one of the biggest conversations happening in indie filmmaking today.
