The only difference between working on a huge-budget film and a lesser-budget film, is the quality of lunch and dinner.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People talk about the difference between working on stage and working on film. I think you could say that there are as many differences between working on low budget films and working on big budget films. You really are doing the same thing, but at the same time you're doing something vastly different as well.
A big budget studio film is slower, they've got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated.
The size of the budget doesn't make that much of a difference because the kind of issues I have on a low budget film I I have on a big budget film as well, but they're just much bigger.

I've worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you're in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You're taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.
That's one of the benefits of working on big budget films. You work with people who have a lot of experience and you get to learn a lot.
To me, it doesn't make any sense to pick your work based on the size of the budget of the movie.
When you do a film, you get picked up in a car, lunch is free. Theatre is really hard, and you get absolutely no money.
As long as you keep your budgets small, there's a way of making films.
The biggest difference for me is momentum. On a smaller film you get to shoot sometimes four or five scenes a day and you've got to do the tight schedule. I think I really feel the luxuries of a big budget film.
