the collaboration
In order for “twelve” to function effectively as an ultra-low-budget independent
film, collaboration will be key. One of the most intriguing aspects of the project is
the demanding level of participation expected amongst the filmmakers. All of the
writer/directors have, more or less, entered into a contract with each other,
promising to assist each production in any form possible. This assistance ranges
from filling a vital role on set to sharing resources that may otherwise be
unattainable. Whether one of the filmmakers is holding the boom microphone
or providing essential equipment, each has agreed to contribute as much as
possible.
