The #AcademyAward winning film #Whiplash was originally an 18-minute short film because Damien Chazelle couldn’t get funding for the film. The actors were paid $173 for the entire short film. After it received acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, investors funded the full length film and it grossed $49 million at the box office. 🥁 Via thefilmzone #moviefilmhouse #filmfacts #actor #moviemakers #movielovers #cinema #conematographylife
