Description

This workshop explores the line producer as the individual who is primarily responsible for the logistics of the production, from pre-production through filming, and the Unit Production Manager (UPM), who is primarily responsible for problem-solving and leadership during principal photography. Learn how the line producer frequently melds into UPM and what those responsibilities are during a shoot. In addition, this three-hour interactive, hands-on course provides a budgeting tool and critical problem-solving skills that make you feel more confident in leadership roles. Students will read a short script and give honest feedback about it during class. Then we’ll walk through the process of the line item budget and estimating costs (line producing), before moving on to problem-solving for UPMs on set (based on real set experiences). Students receive a line item budgeting tool, and post-class questions to the instructor via email or phone. Senior, Veteran & Student Discounts Available!
