About Us

20K Films made their first documentary feature, Proceed and Be Bold! for less than $20,000.  This has shown us that  we can make good films for low budgets. It’s also taught us that money or a lack thereof should never be a deterrent in completing a 20K film. On our blog, we share how we keep making our films for less, using the minimal resources we have, how we engage our local community of friends and professionals as well as  high school and college students in order to complete our films. (Check out Owner, Laura Zinger’s, blog post, “The Very Real Complication of Independent Filmmaking.”  to read more about our process.)

We believe that making a good film is nothing more than working in creative collaboration with a good team.

We also have added a Kenyan proverb to the heart of our filmmaking philosophy:

“If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”
