Build your professional feature film budget step-by-step with guidance from an accomplished film producer and member of the DGA.

Receive exclusive handouts, including a sample feature film budget.

Your script is finished, and you are ready to make your film. You’re starting to think about your team and how you will shoot it. It’s getting exciting, but before you can put anything into motion to make your feature film production happen, you need a solid, professional budget in hand.

The budget is the first true building block of transforming your script into a brilliant film. It doesn’t matter if you’re self-financing a micro-budget feature or hunting for investors on a multi-million dollar indie film, you and any producers or potential financiers need to know the real costs before production begins, and it is the key to ensuring you finish your film on time and for the money you have. 

In this exclusive Stage 32 lab, you’ll work with an accomplished film producer over eight sessions to build a professional working budget and schedule for your feature film. 

You’ll cover everything from how to break down your script for a budget to your cast and crew to post-production and distribution. You'll also create a schedule for your production so you can tangibly see how you'll make your project a reality.

And you’ll meet one-on-one with your mentor at the end of the lab so that you walk away with a budget that has been vetted by an industry expert.

Taking you through the step-by-step process of creating your film's budget is producer and filmmaker Julie Buck. As a producer, line producer, production manager, and member of the Directors Guild of America, Julie has budgeted and scheduled hundreds of independent films.

Julie's work has been screened at festivals, including Tribeca, South by Southwest, London Film Festival, and Sundance, among others. She's worked with A-list talent throughout her career, including Claire Danes, Jim Parsons, Octavia Spencer, Anjelica Huston, and Bill Pullman.

With a limited number of spots available, you’re guaranteed a personal experience and meaningful feedback, with weekly assignments to ensure you’re moving your budget forward and being held accountable. Not only that, Julie will provide you with exclusive handouts to help you through this process that you can keep and continue to learn from on your future productions.

But act fast! These spots to work directly with Julie won’t last long. And once they’re gone, we’re not adding more. Start your New Year by taking this crucial step to make your film a reality in 2023 and walk away with a professional feature film budget and schedule - the essential roadmap for your project.
