Description

Most filmmakers think development is just “writing the script.” In reality, it’s the quiet money pit no one warns you about — from lawyer fees and talent outreach to pitch deck design, travel to festivals, industry events, budgeting specialists, and even the technological tools required. In this episode, I break down the real hidden costs of getting a project off the ground, why budgeting for development is essential, and how creators can avoid getting blindsided. Whether you’re building an indie or studio film, this is the episode that reveals what development actually takes behind the scenes.🚀 Looking for a Creative Collaborator or Coach?Whether you need help launching a podcast, shaping your story, editing a video, or navigating the artist’s life—I’m here to help.✅ Work with me: https://philsvitek.com/collaborate/
