About
Documentary Budgeting Bootcamp (on Zoom)
A budget is more than a financial document. It's a blueprint for your documentary. In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, you'll learn how to build a realistic production budget, research costs, and make informed assumptions about every phase of your project. By the end of the session, you'll leave with a draft budget tailored to your documentary and the knowledge to refine it for future production planning and fundraising.
