Re: How does a filmmaker decide which aspect ratio to shoot in?
 

You can do a film for less, but you're got little control over events and don't expect a large leap from what you're doing, unless you know some good actors willing to work for free.

Sounds like that producer is more a production manager, since a producers main job is to get the all the required funding in place and if it's less than 20k, they haven't really done that.On a feature film with a producer that feels more like the development budget.
