Hiring a Line Producer/UPM to Prepare a Film Budget?

We have received some interest in our project from potential investors, and have been asked to prepare a full budget with above and below the line costs. I would like to work with someone who has experience doing this with larger-budget projects. How much can I expect to pay a good Line Producer/Unit Production Manager?

D Marcus

A good one; one with current, local to the shoot, knowledge should charge in the neighborhood of $2,000 for a week and be able to complete a fairly standard line item budget in one weeks time. That's on the low end, but depending on the project, there are those who will work for that.

Thank you sir! That helps.

Thanks everyone for your interest. We currently have some interest from a big Hollywood producer, so I am putting a hold on getting the budget to see what happens with that.
