The first Production Management for Producers sold out in record time. Due to overwhelming response, we are offering this three-part series again. Register early to avoid disappointment!
Production management requires exceptional organisational ability; excellent communication and interpersonal skills; an outstanding talent for anticipating, planning for, and managing the day-to-day challenges of production; and the expertise to do it all while staying on budget. If you are a producer or director interested in learning more about the nuts-and-bolts of project management, or an industry professional aspiring to fill a production manager's shoes, this three-part series is for you.
Over three sessions, through lectures and workshops, you will learn the basics of production management, including:
• the duties and responsibilities of the production manager, from pre-production through shooting to post;
• dealing with the paperwork essentials;
• keys to a successful assembly and management of the production team;
• payroll, POs, and other accounting demands;
• common crises and how to avoid them;
• planning strategies for challenging and demanding shoots;
• dealing with guilds and unions; and
• how to wrap your project.
This intensive course will include hands-on exercises and case studies taken from today's production industry.
Production Management for Producers is limited to working producers, directors, and industry professionals with a minimum of three years experience. Space is limited (maximum of 30 participants) so register today to avoid disappointment.
