These micro-budget films are incredibly enticing to financiers who are more open to hearing from fresh voices when they're not spending millions. But in order to close the deal, you’ll first need to present how you’ll achieve your vision at such a low cost by building a realistic and professional budget and schedule that show you are prepared to make and deliver your film. Over four weeks of this exclusive Stage 32 intensive class, you’ll immerse yourself in how to build a realistic budget by breaking down your script costs accurately, conveying everything your physical production requires, and understanding above-the-line vs. below-the-line costs. You’ll then move onto equipment, transportation, and legal considerations that are imperative for any budget, and ensure that your numbers cover everything through post-production. Once you’ve built out your budget, you’ll learn how to find financing, even if you don’t think you have proper industry access. Taking you on this journey is producer and filmmaker Julie Buck.. As a line producer, production manager, and member of the Directors Guild of America, Julie has budgeted and scheduled hundreds of independent films. Julie’s work has been screened at festivals including Tribeca, South by Southwest, London Film Festival, and Sundance, among others. She's worked with A-list talent throughout her career, including Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer, Anjelica Huston, and Bill Pullman. In addition to Julie’s wealth of experience, she’ll be providing you with exclusive handouts to help you create your budget, including: - Breakdowns - Schedules - Budgets - Budget templates - Union sheets - How to determine rates and working with SAG You’ll also have the opportunity to ask Julie questions and return to these sessions on-demand through Stage 32 so that you get the most out of this course.
