This is a normal post There's nothing 'entitled' about asking people for help
Demanding it, maybe. Also the RED camera is owned by the University, they need the budget for hiring professional actors and providing transport to remote locations. Having seen the difference between the films made using only student actors, and those made with a budget for pro actors, you can see why these guys want to get in the professionals, as it it dramatically increases the overall quality of the film, making it more likely they'll get into film competitions and hopefully get jobs in the industry at the end of it all.

This is a normal post That's really what you were expecting from b3ta?
I would be expecting a barrage of spamcuntage, glasscocks, insults, and general mischief.

This is a normal post Well that too of course,
But it looks like people aren't reading that little bit in red saying "if you don't like it, don't say anything"...

This is a normal post I think people saying 'stay in your own budget' is a helpful comment
We're a bitter bunch here when it comes to people asking for money.

My problem with this pitch is that he's asking for £5k with no breakdown of WHY he wants that money.

Considering you're not paying for camera ops, editors, runners, lighting, sound, director, or ANY of that (because you're handling that yourself, right? As film students) where is this £5k going?

OK, so you want to hire good actors. You should only be hiring your 2 main leads. There are plenty of resources for getting free* (minus travel expenses) actors for any background cast or extras.
How many days shooting do you need to pay for these actors?

£5k is a lot of money for a student film and bollocks should any of that money go towards paying for the time of the students involved.
