Ready to Master Documentary Budgeting?

Budgeting is an essential part of the entire filmmaking process, all the way through production and distribution. Many folks muddle through and don’t even know how much they’ll need to finish their film. Funders will often disqualify a great project if it does not have a realistic, viable budget. When you’re just starting out, it’s actually easier to learn how to operate gear and compose interview questions than to create an accurate budget. How do you know what you don’t know? Where are the blind spots? Join our free live event to gain critical budgeting knowledge, attract funding, and feel in control of your film projects. This webinar is a great review of budgeting for projects of all sizes and will arm you with critical producing knowledge to boot. Don't miss out on this opportunity! ***Don't forget to use coupon code 'DD-FREE' at checkout to get this webinar for free if you are a Desktop Documentaries subscriber.***
