It didn't require any Illusionists, the crew was small, and the shooting schedule was very short.
Theoretically, the biggest expense would have been renting a luxurious manor as the main filming location. But Sir Gordo contributed that part; out of artistic idealism, he let the crew use his estate free of charge.
He also took care of the crew's lodging, and even provided them with food and drink.
To put it simply, the money it took to film one *Holy Mountain Journey* could have funded fifty-six productions of *Beyond Reach*.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Sir Gordo's physical condition left very few roles suitable for him, Zog would have loved to cast him in every single Shadow of Evil.
"We're not doing a simultaneous, continent-wide release."
Zog explained the plan for this Shadow of Evil to Elsa.
"First, we'll do a limited test run in a few Magic Cinemas in major cities to gauge the reaction."
