Pitch
Line Producers, production managers and first assistant-directors

Improve your budgeting and scheduling skills, get to know how they shoot films in other countries, meet senior professionals and develop a network with your peers.

At the heart of this project is the belief that the European filmmaking industry, whose methods and positions are marked by disunity, can benefit from combining the respective experiences of ‹creative partners› (producers and directors) and ‹operational partners› (line producers and first assistant-directors), to the advantage of the entire ‹production team› and the film project itself.

PRODUCTION VALUE is a seven-day workshop simulating the preparations for six real-life film projects - three at an intermediate level (with budgets between 2 and 6 million Euro) and three at an advanced level (6 million Euros and more) - and delivering highly professional and fully operative working budgets and shooting schedules.

If you are a first or second assistant director, a line producer or a production manager and want to improve your ability to make the best out of the finances you are in charge of, then ‹PRODUCTION VALUE› is the right workshop for you.
