In the inaugural episode of Masters of the Micro Budget filmmaker Shawn Burkett joins Masters of the Micro Budget to break down the making of his cult indie horror feature Don’t Fuck in the Woods (2016), from production constraints to release strategy. In this episode we dig into the business side of micro budget filmmaking: what the hard costs really looked like, what worked (and didn’t) in marketing, how distribution decisions shaped the outcome, and the biggest lessons Shawn took into his later work. If you’re a filmmaker trying to navigate low budget horror, VOD, physical media, festivals, and building an audience without hype, this is a practical blueprint.
