The First-Time Feature Film Producers Training (Scripted) course equips you with the practical knowledge and insight needed to produce narrative feature films at an industry-financed level. This training covers everything from packaging and finance to sales strategy and positioning – giving you the tools and confidence to move your project forward.

This course is aimed at:

• Producers with credited experience in completed narrative shorts,
