One of the workshops to be offered this summer is: Indie Film Production Management (3 days / 24 hours) Facilitator: Cynthia Cruz-Paz Dates: May 19, 20, & 26 (Saturday, Sunday, & Saturday) Time: 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Venue: UPFI Videotheque (at the back of Cine Adarna) Fee: P 4,750 - inclusive of light snacks, handouts, printing / photocopying services for writing exercises, and certificates. The Indie Film Production Management workshop examines the role of the production manager in an independent film production. It emphasizes both theoretical and practical matters involved in a production's logistical management, including script breakdown and analysis, scheduling workflow, budgeting, and acquisition of personnel and facilities. Exercises lead to a hands-on understanding of the actual producing and managing of a digital movie. The workshop facilitator, Cynthia Cruz-Paz, is the managing director of Blue Red Pictures. She is a production manager, line producer, executive producer, segment producer, and director for documentaries, digital movies, and other audiovisual productions.
