Screenplay Breakdown Scheduling & Budgeting
There are many ways to get your film made and nearly all of them require that an expert filmmaker has first performed a breakdown of your screenplay to derive a budget and a preliminary schedule. Without these all-important “blueprints” investors, distributors and film executives will be unable to accurately assess the potential value of your project and less likely to show interest in it.
Information is key. Are there named actors attached? Will the project be signatory to any or all of the production unions/guilds - - SAG-AFTRA, DGA, WGA, IATSE, Teamsters, etc? How much stage vs location shooting is expected? Where will production and post-production take place - - Country, State, City -- and are there film production incentives in those places?

The more details provided about the logistical aspects of the project, the more closely the preliminary schedule and budget will resemble the final shooting schedule and budget, requiring relatively simple modifications by a Line Producer or UPM once the project is greenlit and pre-production starts.
Generally, the greater the complexity of the project the higher the production budget will be and, consequently, the more work the preparation of the Breakdown, Schedule and Budget becomes.
Rates for a Screenplay Breakdown, Preliminary Shooting Schedule and Preliminary Budget are based on the weekly rate for UPMs published in the current DGA Low Budget Side Letter corresponding to the projected budget of the project.
