FINANCING:

Drones was funded with $30,000 coming from lent equipment, bank loan, F-SECURE sponsorship, family and friends. Indiegogo made possible a crowdfunding campaign for production. Unfortunately, it didn’t achieve the goal, but it was a very well received aid in paying for all the expenses that a shortfilm like this entails. We learnt that crowdfunding is not an easy task and requires 100% attention… and a lot of friends.
