Emmy Award-winning producer Carolyn Hepburn to lead FILMCO’s Film Budgeting Workshop

You have your script in hand, you have a creative vision for your film and you’re on your way to bringing your vision to life. What’s missing? Ka-ching! Money… you will need a budget and a plan for how you’ll raise the money to make your film. This is a crucial step in the development process without which, it would be virtually impossible to successfully complete your film (unless everyone’s working for free!).

During this workshop, Emmy, Peabody, and DuPont Award-winning producer Carolyn Hepburn will break down the process of budgeting a film into simple steps for the beginner filmmaker.
