Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of Fruitvale Station
Budget and Schedule
Coogler’s first feature film, Fruitvale was shot in two weeks with a budget of less than $1 million. Due to the restricted budget, Coogler and his crew couldn’t afford to shut down streets, so a lot of onlookers often surrounded the set. Coogler also invited some of his friends to participate in the movie, playing Grant’s friends.
