An Indie Film Budget and Schedule from a Veteran Line Producer is Fundamental

Getting film financing these days is harder than ever and looks to continue to be that way for awhile. With opportunities for filmmakers decreasing and the odds getting tougher it is more critical than ever to have an indie film budget and schedule in hand.

Even more to the point it is fundamental to have your indie film budget and schedule created by an industry veteran line producer with years of experience in the field and on the set. While anyone can throw together some numbers into a film budget template or using questionable software, only a true film budgeting expert knows that their numbers are accurate.

Film financiers know this as well. That is why whom you obtain your indie film budget and schedule from is an indicator of your ability to delegate and surround yourself with professionals. These industry executives rely upon the advice of trusted line producers and production managers and they certainly can ascertain an amateur film budget mock-up from one custom created by an indie film budget and schedule expert.

One of the first criteria one should look at in someone claiming to know how to create an indie film budget and schedule is to look at their credits. A qualified indie film budget and schedule line producer should have years, if not decades of experience. Just working at a studio (perhaps not even as a film or movie producer) is no substitute for the years of film budgeting knowledge and experience that go into a quality film budget from such a professional.

Beware of imitators and people claiming to be line producers or production managers, or even a producer, they may not be that which they claim to be.
