A vision without a budget is a hallucination. Master the real-world skills of union rates, insurance, and logistics from a pro Line Producer
About this Event

A vision without a budget is a hallucination. In this hard-skills masterclass, a working Line Producer—veteran of Georgia’s booming production industry—walks you through the realities of physical production.

From navigating IATSE and SAG-AFTRA union rules to managing insurance and tax credit compliance, this is the operational knowledge that keeps productions legal, safe, and on budget.

What You Will Learn:

  • Professional Budgeting: Reading the "Top Sheet" like a seasoned executive.
  • Union & Guild Navigation: Understanding the rules of SAG, IATSE, and DGA contracts.
  • Contingency Management: How to handle the financial disasters that happen on every set.

VIRTUAL ACCESS: Can't make it to Atlanta? This session will be streamed live via our Virtual Portal. Online attendees can watch in real-time and submit questions via chat.
