The Workshop

English is the working language.

7 line producers/production managers and 7 assistant directors from all over Europe can participate.

Every participant is equipped with the international industry-standard licenses of MM Budgeting 7 or MM Scheduling 5 software.

Directors and producers play an important part in the process: they provide the main parameters of the projects, and at the end, they join the workshop to discuss the various concepts, options and results. Before the workshop starts, the participating line producers and assistant directors are expected to draft a first budget or a first schedule, based on preliminary information provided by the producers of the projects. Skype conferences between participants and the experts/tutors are regularly held to share and define the parameters that each project has in common with the others.
