This 5-part, seminar-style workshop provides an overview of what's needed to bring a film from pre-production to final delivery.

Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly Saw Video)

Script to Screen is a seminar-style workshop that looks at the big picture of film production, providing an overview of what&#x27;s needed to bring a film from pre-production through to final delivery. Our focus is on the Director/Producer role, where you&#x27;re spending as much time on project management and team coordination as you are on the &quot;creative work&quot;, and where half the battle is knowing what you don&#x27;t know.Examples will be drawn from feature film projects in the “micro-indie” budget range of $20k-80k, where there’s a bit of money but not enough to have a fully paid professional team in place. Concepts learned can be scaled to many budget ranges, and while we focus on narrative feature film production, the content will be equally applicable to documentaries and shorts as well.Participants who have a project underway or a script in development may benefit by bringing those materials to class, but the course content and group work will be equally useful for participants who don&#x27;t yet have a specific project in mind. Example scenes, breakdowns, budgets, schedules, footage etc will be provided by the instructor.
