Producing And The Business Of Filmmaking

8 WEEKS PROGRAM

The film producer has the formidable role of ensuring a film project is completed on time, within budget, and it adheres to agreed artistic and technical standards.

COURSE CONTENT

This course aims to expose the student to the challenges of producing from the inception and sale of a project through pre-production, production, and post-production to ultimate distribution.

Students will learn typical producer functions such as when to use publicity, how to deal with creative egos, what to do if the marketing of your project is ill-advised and more.

As potential entrepreneurial producers, the class will study techniques in leveraging limited amounts of time and capital into maximum results; while attempting to balance unbridled optimism against sensible business logic.

COURSE OUTCOME

At the end of the workshop, students will understand the role and responsibilities of being an independent producer by establishing a way of judging the artistic merit and economic possibilities of a project at various stages from inception to completion.
