Feature Film Production Management 101

Learn from Rosi Acosta, a production management expert who has spent nearly four decades keeping films on budget, on schedule, and on screen!

Walk away with six professional production documents — including a sample budget, call sheet, and stripboard — that you can put to work on your very next project!

PLEASE NOTE: This exclusive Stage 32 webinar is now available to watch on-demand and no longer live.

Production management is the backbone of every film that actually gets made. It's what determines whether a project stays on budget, runs on schedule, and actually reaches an audience. Every creative decision has a cost. Every delay has a cause. And the filmmakers who build lasting careers are the ones who understand both sides of the equation.

That's exactly what this webinar is built to teach you.

In one exclusive Stage 32 session, Rosi Acosta walks you through the full scope of what a Unit Production Manager does — from script breakdown and production scheduling to budgeting, hiring, unions, insurance, and completion bonds. You'll learn how the six stages of production connect, how to build and use a Production Bible, and how to apply the Production Value Formula to get the most out of every dollar on screen. By the end, you'll know how to think like a UPM and have the tools to run a production with real confidence!

Your educator Rosi has been working in motion picture physical production since 1987, with credits spanning hundreds of film, TV, and commercial projects — including Driven, Speed Kills, and Imprisoned. She's built deep expertise in production management and on-set troubleshooting across international productions shooting in Puerto Rico, and in 2021 was appointed Puerto Rico Film Commissioner, where she developed relationships with studios, unions, and industry leaders worldwide. Rosi doesn't just know production — she's spent decades teaching, writing, and advocating for it.

PLUS! You will receive the following handouts to help you:

• Sample Production Budget (ATL vs BTL breakdown) 
• Script Breakdown Example 
• Production Schedule (Stripboard Sample) 
• Sample Call Sheet & Production Report 
• Cost Report & Cash Flow Template
