How Much Money ‘Layover’ Made: The Financial Afterlife Of A Micro-Budget Indie Film By David Chen/Feb. 24, 2015 10:00 am EST When Layover was self-released, we received placement in many high-profile online outlets (as well as a nice mention on the /Filmcast). The filmmakers, actors, and myself promoted the film heavily across social media. Combine all this with an asking price of $6 for a full HD digital download, and we had every reason to expect that the film would have a profitable run, especially given that the film’s budget was only $6,000....
