With films being digitised, filmmakers who are used to making movies in over 50,000 feet of film reel, have now cut it short to 25,000 feet. The move also seems practical considering the amount of reel that goes to waste during editing. However, recently, a certain filmmaker went overboard and used over 55,000 feet of film reel

With films being digitised, filmmakers who are used to making movies in over 50,000 feet of film reel, have now cut it short to 25,000 feet. The move also seems practical considering the amount of reel that goes to waste during editing. However, recently, a certain filmmaker went overboard and used over 55,000 feet of film reel, as he decided to make the film in two parts instead of crunching it into one.
When he approached his lead actor, he not only immediately gave a nod but also demanded that he be paid twice his salary as he felt it was as good as having done two films. This demand has left the director in shock who is contemplating putting his film under the axe.
