Josh Vancil: Assistant director, director of development and line producer in Los Angeles, California.

As a Line Producer I can extend to you my 25+ year experience in budgeting screenplays in order to expedite being financed, produced and distributed, in addition to providing more strength to the writer’s position, when negotiating option and sales agreements, able to demonstrate not only the creative aspects of the story, but also financial scale of the script, serving as an accurate assessment of cost in order to option, produce and/or serve as a tool in better determining value of sale for the script. In order to have an accurate budget, I never start with the budget itself, but the script breakdown, of all primary elements, that can eventually be monetized. Then begins the top sheet budget for all phases of production. This is based on scale and creative concept aspects of the screenplay and industry standards for cast and crew equipment etc. as were found in the script breakdown. It’s common to follow the budgeting process by developing an estimated “Day out of Days” schedule, in order to reflect time involvement for all phases more accurately with the budget. Please let me know if you or your clients may be interested in this service. I charge an industry standard flat rate, which is negotiable (Based on script concept and scale). Multi-Scale Budget and Comprehensive Packaging samples are available upon request. I work with the industry standard programs EP - Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling. "The budget reveals the underbelly of any endeavor, be it artistic or otherwise". I’m looking forward to the possibility of collaborating. Feel free to contact me via email. Very best, Joshua Vancil Executive Producer & Line Producer joshuavancil@gmail.com
