Hi,
I'm gonna shoot my debut indie feature soon. Essentially I'm a Writer and now venturing into Directing. I was asked to present a DETAIL BREAKDOWN by a financier. Does this mean I'VE TO STORYBOARD THE SCRIPT AND SUBMIT?
HOW MUCH SHOULD I BUDGET FOR A WRITER AND DIRECTOR'S FEES, IF BOTH ARE THE SAME? MY OVERALL BUDGET IS $ 1 MILLION. PLEASE ANSWER. IS THERE ANY WEBSITES ON THE NET WHERE WE CAN GET ALL THIS TECHNICAL STUFF? THOUGH I'VE CHANCED ON SOME, ANY FURTEHR HELP IS GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU.

I am not sure what you mean by detail outline? (explain - or maybe thats the thing u didnt know=), I was thinking in terms of a beat outline, but thats something you usually do before writing your script.
Beat outline, outlines all the dramatic beats in your story, scene by scene to make it easier for you when you write.
If you are the one to budget and also the one to direct, I would say that you have to decide that for yourself!
?:D?
No. This doesn't mean a storyboard.
With a budget of $1,000,000 you can afford to pay an experienced UPM to do a professional breakdown. Websites just won't give you the detailed information you need to present an offering to the funders.
A pro UPM knows the current rates for everyone (including the writer and director) and has personal connections to save money on every aspect of a production - something that most on-line sites don't have.
If you'd like to have your producer contact me I'd be glad to help find the right person. You rarely get a second chance to impress the "moneypeople" so make sure your breakdown is absolutely perfect the first time.
