Any tips on how to film low light scenes and not have it set on a high ISO? I;'d like to avoid grain if i can. Or maybe theres a free filter or plugin where i can eliminate some of the grain?

yea i just heard about neat video. wished it was free lol. does a slower shutter speed allow more light in? like if i set it to something like 1/5th is that bad to do? its normally on 1/60th.

Not all gear will even go that low shutter-wise.
If you have after effects, the "remove grain" filter can do impressive things and it's already in there. (You can always check eBay for a deal on AE7 and upgrade later - lots of useful stuff, esp. the "pro" version. The Standard & Pro difference was phased out at the CS level I believe). The best noise removal device is a whole bunch of photons on set though.
An on-camera light could help if you want what's right in front of you lit and the rest dark; I'm no expert on those & have never owned one, others may have some tricks up their sleeves.
A couple worklights and some bedsheets or foamcore can really fill a room if this is a budget issue; if it's a no-lights-allowed location... do your best.
