The art lead got paid 300$ per day. They were not on set for several months. They did not offer up a little seed capital, they took a job and got paid a pretty good wage. Especially for a movie that had a budget of 250k.
None of this is capitalist apologia, as Curry Barker is not in control of distribution of the movie. The distributors retain the vast majority of profits.
Having saved up some unknown amount of money that one can pour into a passion project does not make one a capitalist.
