Documentary Budgeting
How do you develop a budget for a documentary film? In this workshop tailored for filmmakers you’ll learn how to craft budgets that align with the requirements of funders, satisfy your creative goals, and cater to your personal needs. Gain insights and strategies to navigate the process of budgeting with confidence.
The workshop will give insight into the following questions:
- What items are included in a documentary budget?
- How do you calculate costs for equipment, crew, travel, and post-production?
- What's the best way to structure a documentary budget?
- What are some common budgeting mistakes to avoid?
- How do you adjust your budget for different types of documentaries?
Over the next few Tuesdays, we’ll take a deeper look at key writing components for documentary filmmaking. Join us on June 10 (virtual) to explore the proposal and pitch deck, on June 17 (in person) for treatment development, and on June 24 (virtual) to learn how to craft outstanding grant applications.
