A production manager is key to the successful delivery of any film or television production. 

This dynamic 2-day course will give participants an understanding of the procedures put into place by successful production managers when focusing on film dramas.  Alongside budgeting and scheduling, participants will be guided through a range of topics including location needs, legal obligations, crew dynamics, financial systems, and health and safety practices.  They will have to think about the needs and demands of their own drama projects - from a production manager’s perspective - and what actions they would need to take to fulfill these. 
 
By the time the weekend is over, attendees will be able to put what they have learnt into immediate practice with their own projects, and subsequently tap even more effectively into the flourishing UK drama market.
