KEVIN WILLMOTT podcast excerpt: "The budget for 'Planet Negro' was $5,000. Five-thousand dollars! Everybody worked for free. What I spent the $5,000 on was meals. The cinematographer is a professor I work with; he built the spaceship. The robot was built by another buddy. He built it from stuff he had lying around. It took two years to make the movie. And I play one of the leads because I knew I would always show up!"
