About Us
No Money No Cry Films is a passionate, and committed and collaborative production company. We came together in response to the changing landscape of the film industry; one that allows creative, small, lean, focused companies that are realistic about the opportunities and constraints of the market to implement a vision that is creatively inspiring and profitable. No Money No Cry Films works with three strongly held beliefs:
We do not call our type of film making low budget but ‘digital budget’ to indicate that we can make high quality films at our chosen budget level.This is the exciting landscape of old Hollywood come back to life in digital format. It is a golden age and the digital budget is The Golden Mean of our time.
