- Film Directors - Direct the Money Before the Money Directs You
[Arts-and-Entertainment] Film Directors make it their business to understand the basic functions of on-set filmmaking, without being able to fully light a set, or operate a crane, or focus a steadicam. In the same spirit, the Film Director must understand the basics of Budgeting and the extremely important Weekly Cost Reporting process. Every creative decision involves money. It’s only good sense to learn to translate creative ideas into costs.
- Film Financing - Can Film Graduates Take the Challenge?
[Reference-and-Education:College-University] The film school graduate who has a thorough understanding of their Film Studies program, AND understands the basic processes of Film Budgeting, Cost Reporting and Business Plans, is light-years ahead of the pack. Believe me, a film studies graduate who can help prepare a financing package (that is, help to prepare a Film Budget and a simple Business Plan) would absolutely blow away any Independent Film & Video Production company.
- Screenwriters & Filmmakers - Pitching the Cold Heart of the Banker
[Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] Can a creative pitch alone get your script produced? Pitching the script is an art that is much talked about, put into college curriculums and lauded by the Pop Culture. But, there's a big factor missing from creative pitches. The MONEY!
- MAKING IT in Film Production!
[Arts-and-Entertainment] Filmmaking is all about MAKING opportunities. Creative people who haven't learned to translate their ideas into the language of money fail to speak the same language as those who hold the purse strings. Make your film. Get that upgrade. Simply become familiar with the language of film budgeting.
