NYWIFT Masterclass Series: Feature Film Budgeting

Join NYWIFT for the next installment of their Masterclass Series: Feature Film Budgeting with Sirad Balducci running December 5, 12, and 20 at 12:30 PM NZDT. Budgeting a feature film can be daunting and overwhelming for any filmmaker, whether they are newcomers or seasoned professionals, and it is a critical step towards getting your movie financed.

In this three-part masterclass, they will demystify the budgeting process, offering insights into script breakdown and shoot schedules and covering fundamental budgeting basics. They’ll explore how to effectively collaborate with producers, directors, and department heads, and impart strategies to align your movie’s production plan with the creative vision of the project. The class is geared toward independent feature films in the 5M range, but also can be applied to short films as well. Materials and budgeting software trials will be provided prior to the start of the class and a Q&A will follow each session. Use code Budget20 for 20% off when you register here!
