budget = US$200,000 - $400,000The budget was actually $200,000. I know, I was the producer's assistant (to Jack Janda) for the last 3 weeks of filming and all I did was do the daily in/out of the money. Three quarters of it went to buying and processing of the film stock as it was shot on actual celluloid. I know we went a bit over by the time we wrapped and with post it possibly went to 400k. But at the time of shooting it was just a mere 200k.cite web | title=IMDB | work=Re: Budget only $400,000? | url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0378804/board/nest/12002071#51594445 | accessmonthday=December 6 | accessyear=2006]

Plot summary

When 15 year old Scott Byers decided to bring a camcorder to school, none of his schoolmates ever imagined what was to come. Only Scott's five closest friends and followers have the insight on his master plan. He is on a quest for the ultimate thrill, as he documents the day's events, anticipating the grand finale: Scott plans to commit suicide on camera. His friends become fascinated by his idea and decide to join the action for various reasons; home problems, romance and even boredom. They pull behind their leader and set out to make history. The rush is instantaneous. Emotions run wild. Pressure mounts as shocking details are revealed. The search for the final adventure takes an unexpected turn down a dark road. This journey turns out to be much more than what Scott and his friends had ever anticipated. The film is shot in Blair Witch project style handheld. It ends with a columbine style school shooting.

Created in 2004, "State's Evidence" travelled around the film festival circuits until it was picked up by distributor Terra Entertainment, and released on DVD on November 7th, 2006.
