Show Starter Scheduling & Budgeting Plus
Quick tip – if you are posting online for writers to do your script for free, or executive producers to raise money for your movie for free, or for anyone else to do anything else for your project for free, STOP. You absolutely cannot make money without spending/investing your own money at the beginning of your career in Hollywood! You wouldn’t expect to do successful open heart surgery without going to med school, and you simply cannot effectively produce a film, even one you wrote and/or plan to produce/direct/star in, without learning the demanding and difficult world of production. That is why we offer Movie in a Box production seminars to help you learn the process of making a film, including how to prep a schedule and budget so you can effectively plan for the costs.
The single biggest challenge of getting a film made is the funding, and at some point, you want to understand how those witty lines translate into gritty line items. Even as I was teaching story structure at UCLA Extension Writers’ Program, I was attending a course of film production down the hall. The basics I learned in that course have served me throughout my career as a television and, now, new media producer. I learned how to break down a script and find the money on each page to create a schedule then a budget and weekly cash flow.
As straightforward as that process sounds, it took at least three software programs and a couple of weeks to complete! Last year, I set out to find faster, simpler, smarter application to do all of it at once. And when I couldn’t find it, I created it. Show Starter Scheduling & Budgeting Plus finally lets you create a production calendar and generate a fully synched budget and cash flow at the SAME TIME. We even built in industry contacts so users can access speedy, professional quotes. By the time we were done, our industry testers were finishing up their pre-production documents in just a few hours instead of days or weeks. And updates took minutes, since all of the docs talk to each other!
