Heh, living in LA i can say the cheaper part is talent.
Half the recordings i see in the neighborhood are huge budget series. The other half is a small production where everyone is working for film credit and lousy catering lunch.

Isn't there a minimum scale for wages required for any film? Or is it only if the film somehow becomes a "union" job?
And that reciprocates so many jobs that everyone i know pays (or are making ends-meet to pay) the union (most are something like 5k for actors, 20k for photo, per year).
But, small indie movies, just shoot for a couple days and nobody has any pay. They usually gets people with little experience via email chain and facebook noise.
