Production Management

This two-part workshop provides a practical overview of important production management skills, application budgeting, tools of planning and organization in addition to teaching how to work with the assistant director to avoid surprises and prevent disasters on set. Participants become virtual production managers as they break down a script, research service providers, build a shooting schedule, determine a budget and prepare initial call sheets. This workshop is highly recommended for those interested in working in the film industry or for filmmakers who wish to improve their expertise on set. Participants are encouraged to bring a project they are working on as production manager or producer to troubleshoot.

The Introduction to Independent Filmmaking workshop is strongly recommended as a prerequisite. This workshop is recommended as a companion to the Producing Dramatic Film, Introduction to Production Accounting, Script Supervision and Directing Dramatic Film workshops.​
