PRODUCTION VALUE 2016
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The 10th edition of the Production Value workshop was held in Loosdrecht (Netherlands), January 9–16, 2016. Six Junior Line Producers, 6 Junior Assistant-Directors, 8 Producers and 4 Directors, 7 Seniors as tutors, coming from 13 European countries, gathered together for this workshop, which focused on the process of budgeting and scheduling 6 feature films in development. The workshop – coproduced by FOCAL (Switzerland), the Norwegian Film Institute (Oslo), the Swedish Film Institute (Stockholm), the Austrian Film Institute (Vienna) and the Finnish Film Foundation (Helsinki) – was supported by CREATIVE EUROPE, a program of the European Union. In filmmaking, the Schedule reflects the Plan. As, in turn, the Budget reflects the Schedule, the Budget is therefore also the reflection of the Plan. But where does the Plan come from? PRODUCTION VALUE addresses the “Plan”, i.e. the issues related to making feature films from the perspective of the assistant director and the line producer/production manager. A good part of the training covers the actual craft of scheduling and budgeting a script. But above all it is THE place for assistant-directors and line producers/production managers to learn about the responsibilities and creative demands of their positions. Working in teams of two, Junior Line Producers and Assistant Directors from all over Europe are assigned real projects in development, brought to the workshop by Directors and Producers. The teams are coached by top-level European Line Producers and Assistant Directors, to ensure that, by the end of the week, they will have achieved the best budgets and schedules possible in the given circumstances. Packed with master classes on some of the best films of the year to which our Seniors had contributed (“PRIDE," “THE GRAND HOTEL BUDAPEST,” “THE VOICES,” “THE LIBERTADOR”), PRODUCTION VALUE 2015 was an excellent vintage. Though 4 projects ended up more expensive than expected, all the producers were impressed by the Juniors’ level of commitment and expertise. The 2016 concluded with 10th anniversary year and the organization in Central Amsterdam of the “PV NETWORKING & SCHEDULING PARTY” to which took part 1 participants out of 2 of the 10 editions so far. A great party celebrating talent in scheduling & budgeting in Europe.
