All productions start with a great script. Once you’ve got one, you’ll need a schedule and budget before you can begin the search for financing. Honing the skills to budget a film can take years, which is why it helps to hire a seasoned line producer, but all producers should have a grasp of the fundamentals of production.

This workshop will cover, step-by-step, the key tools and best practices for breaking down a script, and building a production schedule and practical budget for feature films. We’ll cover elements of script analysis, scheduling theory and budgeting techniques – all necessary for a successful production plan.
