Besides your sample, your proposal or pitch deck - you need to have a budget for your film. Hear from producer/director Daphne McWilliams on how to get started, what you'll need to research and more.

Daphne will talk about budgets for short films, documentaries and low budget narratives and offer templates.

Notably, she produced the Academy Award-nominated documentary 4 Little Girls in 1995, directed by Spike Lee, highlighting the 1963 bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. Her most recent project, Boston (R)evolution is about to go on the festival circuit.
