A great line producer can make or break a production. This is show BUSINESS, so the production lives and dies by the budget!

Are you prepared to create a professional budget for your production?

Do you want to become an invaluable asset to producers big and small?

PLEASE NOTE: Although this exclusive Stage 32 class is no longer live and the teacher is not available on email, we highly encourage you to do any assignments to get the most out of the educational experience.

Since the interruption of SAG strikes, the landscape of production seems to be incorporating more co-productions than ever before. Now you just need to have the right understanding of what you need to ask and how line-producing works to ensure you are a sought-after Line Producer in both the US & Abroad.

What do Line Producers do? What are their responsibilities? What do you need to know and ask when Line Producing abroad?

Line Producing is one of those jobs that everyone needs but gaining the experience takes some time as you learn as you work and it's a big commitment for a producer to trust you with the film's budget but this course is here to teach you all the things you need to know that no one discusses: 

• How to create accurate budgets?
• Does a line producer schedule and how is it done?
• How do you line produce abroad or work with an international line producer?
• How to support my producer and crew on set?
• What are the pitfalls I may encounter?
• How do I maintain being a consistent problem solver to the team?
• And so much more...
