Join us for a virtual workshop/conversation with educator and filmmaker Bri Castellini about filmmaking on a budget! Being thrifty doesn’t mean losing out on your vision. This course is all about being smart about where to deploy your budget, how to pick your battles, and ways to stretch your funding creatively so you’re led by inspiration rather than by fear. Included: a film budgeting template, a shot listing template, and tons of related free readings and podcasts for further learning.
