Chicken
Funding
1) The budget for Chicken was £110,000.
2) Joe Stephenson raised the money entirely through investment by individuals (e.g. rich friends/contacts). This is because no funding body was willing to fund Chicken.
3) The Chicken budget is a micro-budget film. This is an extremely low amount of money to make a film, especially compared to Hollywood-British blockbusters like Spectre or Paddington 2.
4) The BFI Film Fund is an organisation that uses National Lottery funds to develop and support original UK filmmakers and films, and to increase the audiences who can enjoy them. They contribute because they provide support for the production, development and completion of feature films which fairly reflect people from different backgrounds. Also, they support high-quality British and independent releases, increase film choice for audiences and offer a springboard for UK film exports.
5) Chicken failed to secure funding from the BFI Film Fund because the movie was low-budget and had a lower-income filmmaker.
Production
1) During production the movie had difficulties. The fact that they used all external locations meant that they were victim to rain, issues with lighting etc.
2) The film was shot in 19 days.
3) In particular it was difficult for Joe Stephenson to film the external locations, this is because there were issues with weather etc.
Distribution
1) The film failed to secure a distribution deal when first made in 2014 because it was low budget and didn't have promise of making profit.
