Introduction to all producers do, from development to distribution. Sign on for this 4 hour workshop that navigates students through introductory-level producing.
Paying someone to breakdown your script elements properly can be very expensive. If you want to be a good producer, assistant director, or production manager, it all starts with understanding this process.
Telling a visually appealing story is a labor of love. But capturing the right composition doesn’t just happen behind the camera; it’s a process that starts at pre-pro and continues well into post.

Buried in the creative process, many filmmakers forget the legal side of crafting original content. Each year numerous I.P. lawsuits are filed, with some carrying settlements as high as $150,000 or more!
