Every aspect of this course has been designed to teach you how to produce films using established industry practices and including invaulable production paperwork that you cna take away and use.

During this intensive programme you will learn how to raise the finance you need and how to avoid the key mistakes that cost so many new producers (and new independent production companies) hundreds of thousands of pounds every year. You will receive practical advice on how to save money, where to get the best deals and how to maximize on-screen production values.

This course also includes a number of practical sessions including Pitching, Scheduling and even a Casting Workshop in which you will have the opportunity to apply the skills you have learned in a casting session with professional actors and a director.

The course provides invaluable tuition in the main aspects of the Producers’ role, from breaking down scripts ready to shoot, right through to managing the Post-Production process. The course also covers vital legal considerations from securing the rights to a script through to negotiating an international distribution deal.
