It's the foundation that determines whether a project gets made, stays on budget, and actually reaches an audience. Feature films are businesses before they're art, and the professionals who thrive in this industry know how to operate in both worlds. Whether you're a producer, director, or aspiring department head, what you learn today could be the difference between a project that gets finished and one that falls apart in pre-production.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHere's the reality most film schools don't teach you: creativity alone won't save a production. Poor planning, unrealistic budgets, underestimated logistics, and the \"we'll fix it in post\" mindset are some of the leading reasons projects go over budget — or never wrap at all. Many filmmakers enter production without a clear understanding of union regulations, proper hiring practices, or how to build a schedule that actually holds. These aren't small gaps. They're the kind of oversights that cost productions real money and real opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eRosi Acosta has been working in motion picture physical production since 1987, with credits spanning hundreds of film, TV, and commercial projects — including \u003cem\u003eDriven\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSpeed Kills\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eImprisoned\u003c\/em\u003e. She's worked across international productions shooting in Puerto Rico, developing a hard-won expertise in production management and on-set troubleshooting. In 2021, she was appointed Puerto Rico Film Commissioner, where she built relationships with studios, unions, and industry leaders worldwide. Rosi doesn't just know production — she's spent decades teaching, writing, and advocating for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn this webinar, Rosi is going to walk 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 time you're done, you'll know how to think like a UPM — and you'll walk away with the tools and frameworks to run a production with the confidence and structure of a seasoned professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePLUS!
