Feature Film Budgeting: A Step-by-Step Manual is a step-by-step guide to film budgeting in the $600k to $6.5 Million range. Be it the film student, Line Producer, 1st Assistant Director, or script writer, all will benefit from the easy-to-follow steps on how to create a film budget.

This book walks the reader through how to:

  • find current and future salary rates for every Hollywood Guild
  • determine Prep and Wrap periods for all crew members
  • navigate the Guild contracts for easy understanding
  • analyze salary rates and how they were arrived at
  • simplify the application of fringe rates (tax percentages)

Additionally, sample budgets are presented to reinforce knowledge gained in each chapter through a comprehensive breakdown.
