The expensive part is what gets forgotten

Your budget has to finish the film.

A polished total means nothing if it leaves out payroll fringes, pickup days, file storage, captions, artwork, festival costs, or delivery. This workbook gives every major decision a place before those “small” costs become a production problem.

01

Break the script down first.
If it appears on the page, somebody has to find it, move it, feed it, insure it, or create it.

02

Compare the plan with reality.
Track estimated cost, actual cost, and variance together while there is still time to adjust.

03

Protect the finish.
Post-production, marketing, and delivery belong in the original plan—not in a last-minute rescue mission.

Inside the workbook
