IIFF/SF Film Financing Workshop With Veteran of 200+ Productions

Movie Budgeting & Scheduling
for Producers & Investors

Understand the "Manufacturing Process" of Filmmaking to Get Movies Funded & Made

*** Don't miss other events in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York ***

Abstract

"Both producers and investors will learn a lot about the 'manufacturing process' of filmmaking, and about budgeting and scheduling in particular. The newly acquired knowledge will help you better understand, analyze and prepare film projects for financing purposes." — Curran Engel

This Workshop may end up saving you 1000s of dollars in consulting fees and other expenses. It packs a whole, semester-long course on the subject into one intensive, highly focused day of hands-on learning. That's the essence of 45 hours worth of classes in film school… For the price of about an hour of work with a high-end budgeting consultant like our expert instructor!

Perhaps more importantly than saving money, our seminar gives you control over a crucial part of the preparations for any successful film project. One that profoundly impacts its ultimate success. You will not only be able to ask all the right questions, analyze the risk, and find your own solutions to budgeting and scheduling problems. You will actually possess the fundamental skills necessary to create and revise production budgets and schedules.

Too often, inadequate, inflated or otherwise inaccurate budgets put film entrepreneurs in a less than ideal starting position, complicate the financing process, and ultimately derail the entire project. Our seasoned instructor teaches you not just how to craft a budget, but how to do it right given the unique nature and circumstances of your movie. What is more, he helps you maximize your fundraising chances and the likelihood of financial success!

Introduction

The Bay Area chapter of the Institute for International Film Financing (IIFF) continues its acclaimed education & networking events at the junction of film & finance with a one-of-a-kind Film Financing Workshop for Northern California's community of filmmakers, entrepreneurs and financiers. IIFF's friends at Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco are again making their facilities near 4th & King St. available for our daylong seminar.

This intensive, hands-on learning experience forms an integral part of IIFF's unrivaled series of in-depth seminars with such iconic instructors as Hollywood film financing legend Lew Horwitz (April '08 San Francisco Workshop), IFP founder Sandra Schulberg (April '08 Los Angeles Workshop | February '08 San Francisco Workshop & February '08 Los Angeles Workshop | January '08 Los Angeles Workshop), and Silicon Valley venture capitalist Dr. Frank Greene (July '08 San Francisco Workshop | June '08 Los Angeles Workshop | June '08 Silicon Valley Workshop | May '08 Los Angeles Workshop | March '08 San Francisco Workshop & March '08 Los Angeles Workshop). The upcoming Workshop builds on the exceptional popularity of IIFF's monthly Townhall Meetings —originally launched in the S.F. Bay Area during the spring of 2005— and features a highly topical program taught by an in-the-trenches expert with a track record of success. Our goal with this and future events is not only to provide unbiased insight & education about the business of film but also to foster & inform productive relationships between attending professionals.

Over the past years, the landscape of film financing has changed considerably and continues to be in flux. The ongoing democratization of the means of film production has loosed an avalanche of competition in independent film, making it more difficult for even the most talented filmmakers to stand out. On the other hand, film is attracting a wider range of financing sources than ever, including a large and diverse group of private equity investors (e.g., so-called angels).

In this environment of change, many of the old rules no longer apply. While content remains king, it is more critical than ever that filmmakers take a proactive, methodical and business-savvy approach to getting their films funded – be they fictional narratives or nonfiction documentaries, features or shorts, or experimental work. To thrive on the challenges ahead, filmmakers need to transform themselves from creative masterminds and technical mavens into holistic film entrepreneurs who navigate the waters of business and finance as competently and confidently as they tackle the creative and technical side of movie production. (After all, the complex and wonderful process of filmmaking starts and ends with the money.)

There is no better place to start than the film business plan, the film entrepreneur's systematic roadmap for success and the single most important document any serious film investor needs to see, evaluate and understand. Without a well thought-out business plan, even the most promising movie venture can turn into a protracted odyssey and may be doomed to fail – or, at least, fail to live up to its full potential.

Key elements of a business plan include:

Industry Overview & Market Analysis
Business & Product Description
Team Bios (Management, Cast & Crew)
Financing Strategy
Production Plan (Budget & Schedule)
Distribution Strategy
Marketing Plan
Financial Statements & Projections

The production budget & schedule are essential components of every film business plan. Getting them right is not just a point of professional pride. The budgeting and scheduling process offers an important opportunity to prudently explore different scenarios and options available to you and your team. The choices made (e.g., budget size) will have a profound and lasting impact on the financing, production & success of your movie.

Seminar Description

This class covers the everyday challenges that film entrepreneurs face as they prepare to finance their films, and the solutions that they currently employ. The emphasis is on the proper breakdown, scheduling & budgeting of a motion picture, including all associated topics. Although Production Managers are usually brought on to a project after the bottom line has been established, their skill set is frequently called upon during development to create estimates for the production.

Our intensive seminar condenses 45 hours worth of classes —typically taught over the course of a fifteen-week semester— into six seven highly instructive hours (plus an hour total for breaks and networking). Among many big and small lessons, you will learn:

Market analysis of potential earnings that leads to ideal budget
Detailed screenplay analysis that results in precise shooting budget
Achieving accuracy within ±5%
Reconciling ideal and shooting budgets
Comparison of budget scenarios vs. precision-based approach
Without schedule, there is no budget!
Time + money = prediction value
To get funded, you need team that can execute on screenplay, budget, etc.
Three "construction models" for movies: Studio,indie, and Roger Corman
And much more! »

Learning Outcomes

As a result of successfully completing this course, you will have acquired a variety of valuable skills & knowledge.

Skills

You will be introduced to crucial skills, including:

Identify and catalogue all the elements, both explicit and implied, in a screenplay.
Prepare a basic breakdown, shooting schedule and budget estimate for a feature-length screenplay, using motion-picture software.

Properly execute production-related paperwork such as production reports, call sheets, insurance claim forms and release forms.
Interpret the insurance needs of any production.
Read and interpret production contracts and agreements.
Effectively deal with casting agencies, talent agents, talent managers and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
Make the right crew-hiring decisions.
Apply professional strategies for scouting locations and securing permits.

Knowledge

You will be exposed to mission-critical knowledge, including:

The six stages of making a feature film, and what happens at each stage.
Role of the Production Manager, and how it is different from that of the Producer.
General budgeting and scheduling principles.
The various elements contained in a movie script.
Copyright, liability, and other industry legal questions.
Completion bonds and Errors & Omissions insurance.
The five low-budget SAG labor agreements.
Pros and cons of union vs. non-union productions.
