S3 E3 | Making Costume Design Magic Happen on an Independent Film Budget

Low budget indie films usually require lots of cutting corners.
So why is costume design important? How can you get visual bang
for your microbudget filmmaking buck? And what is the one
department you really can't live without?


Costume designer and producer Allison Koehler joins Courtney
today to answer those questions and more. From costume design as
character analysis to pulling off slick, aesthetic indie film
costume ideas within her budget constraints, Allison describes
how costume design in film can make or break a project.
