Producing

Ryan McCoy Well, in Germany you can get money from the gov, a film subsidy from the country. To apply for this you have to write down a complete calculation with all costs. I have written calculations, but don't know all possible positions for a film calculation, especially not for a nature documentary in which you don't have actors, but a lot of other costs. So, I thought I ask the producers here for any form or example - or a program.

Tony S. No, I don't think so, but thank you for your help.

Oh, a budget.

Try this free Excel spreadsheet:

Just delete the ACCT# that don't apply.

Tony S. - I glommed onto that template, I hope you don't mind! It's one of the best I've come across!

NP, John. It's a public post.

I've used it before. It's an industry standard covering all Union and Non shoots. Enjoy.

Hi Peter, I sometimes write on my mobile too, I have a lot of spontaneous scripts stored on it. I noticed you're a fan of Alexander Payne and Tom McCarthy, me too! In fact, they're the two writers I've name dropped on the query letter of my first feature. Good luck with the writing and let me know if you ever want someone to read your work, it sounds like it would be my kind of story.

Thanks, Adam. I appreciate it. Love those guys. Also, love Bob Nelson (Nebraska), Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine) and Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count On Me, Manchester By The Sea). Good luck to you, too-and would be happy to read your work anytime!

Peter, where are you based out of?

Hi Peter, here is a link to a production I am working on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33WtzDqcHOw&t=7s

Peter, I too am a lawyer who dreams of writing a screenplay and having it produced.

I don't know what you are asking... are you looking to develop an application to do this and want advice on the fitness of a particular OS, or are you wondering if there is a platform out there that does this ? (There isn't one).

Yvonne, send me an email at rynoryder@hotmail.com. I’m a bit confused about what exactly what you’re asking, but I am developing some tech to innovate in these areas, if that’s what you’re asking. Take care!

Studio Binder has been recommended and also Celtx as getting at least some of the work centralised I'll email to see what you're developing Ryan McCoy thanks.

Everybody uses movie magic. It’s kinda the industry standard for scheduling and budget reports.

Great information, Thank You ;) #social #share Best of Luck, Buddies

Coffee? Use better bait like dinner at AGO or NOBU restaurant, field box tickets to Dodgers baseball.
I know some Entertainment bosses and they don’t come for coffee.

Just a wild guess but I'd say they are in Minneapolis.

A friend is shooting his feature at Ironbound Studios. Claiming* to have the largest stage in North America, Ironbound Studios are in Chisholm, which is 200 miles north of Minneapolis. https://www.ironbound-studios.com although it's not a purpose-built studio and I cannot wrap my head around why or how a 40,000' stage is in the middle of nowhere with no industry support infrastructure nearby. (* I think Megastage @ Pinewood Toronto is bigger).

Hi Jean, I don't mean to bother you with questions but I don't have that tab. Under education I have podcasts, the most recent one being from April 9, On Stage with RB, the most recent one being from 7 months ago, and Next Level Webinars, with a free one scheduled for May 2 and the rest at $50. I've looked all over the website and I can't find a Webinar by RB from today.

No worries, Allie. You're not a bother. :) It takes a while for new podcasts to be uploaded, so keep checking.

Allie, I am a filmmaker based out of LA and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Shoot me a message here on S32, or send me an email at: rynoryder@hotmail.com I wish you all the best!

Hello Allie - I'm a UK based composer of music for media, and would love to find out more about your project (granted i'm not LA based but the world is so small these days). Would love to have a chat about your thoughts for the music side of things if you felt there was a good fit.

You'll find some examples of my work here: https://vimeo.com/235033828 and here: https://soundcloud.com/christofrdavis

Are you having any luck, Allie? If you still need help, I am available!

credit cards.
You gotta believe this is your career, your destiny and you will make $$ and pay back everyone.

I agree with Dan M - you believe in your project, or you don't.

Playing off of what both Dan and Doug said, I believe you'll find once you INVEST in YOURSELF, both money, time, connections, you will find that others will also. This happened for me. I have spent tons not only on my own projects, but on getting one major Indie Director - about 15 years ago - to do a budget for one of my features, on workshops, etc, etc. Eventually I got to a place where I found venture capitalists and Angel Investors. But, it didn't happen overnight. Along the way, as I had some of my scripts optioned, and I made friends with people at studios, distributors, also editors and others, I began to make friends with both A list and character actors. Those connections proved invaluable over the years. When other people gave reasons why you can't make a movie, I gave reasons why you CAN! But, it all started with me investing in myself, my career and my projects. Hope this both inspires and helps! GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH! ;)
