Budget

The film was made on a very tight budget, with Rebecca and her team using whatever resources they had to get it made. As well as relying on the support of local businesses and cafes during shooting, Honeytrap was partially crowd-funded through the site Indiegogo. “People went out of their way to help us, and for that I’m very grateful,” says Rebecca.

Rebecca biggest challenge: ''The film was made on a tiny budget, so there were many challenges in that. Honeytrap wasn’t really a story that really fit on a micro-budget scale, i.e., three characters in one location. It had a multitude of characters and many locations, plus several big set pieces: the murder, the bus ride, big crowd scenes, fight scenes, and so on.''

Synergy.
Their was no interaction between the Bright House Studios and another company. This is because it was on a micro budget movie. However it was an official selection for the BFI film festival.


Since it is an independent film on a low budget it is only being screen in cinemas. No information is out as to whether the film will be released on to DVD.

However it is available at cinemas  in HD and is currently being showed 
at the British Film Festival

MARKETING

This film isn't highly publicised due to a low budget. I could only find 1 interview and it was from the director and a few articles in a newspaper
