PROMO CODE! Use code T3KB8J at checkout for 10% off. Available to the first 5 registrants only.
We are Leyla T. Rosario and Jessica L. Ransom, co-founders of The Gig Media. We have spent over 20 years combined in production rooms, on sets, and behind budgets for some of the biggest brands in the world. We built this workshop because nobody taught us any of this either.
Producing 101: From Script to Set is a one-day, in-person masterclass where we walk you through exactly how a production gets made from the first read of a script to the moment the crew rolls.
What you walk away with:
A Producer template kit including a bid and budget spreadsheet, script breakdown sheet, PPM deck template, call sheet, crew deal memo, PA checklist, post checklist, and insurance and COI cheat sheet. You also receive written feedback on your post-workshop bid submission.
What we cover:
Breaking down a script like a producer. Building a real bid from scratch. Prep, crew hiring, deal memos, and casting. PPM decks and client meetings. The paperwork that protects you and your client. A live group exercise bidding a mock 30-second spot.
