Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m budgeting a six-episode comedy series with a $1.8 million total cap. Help me split costs across crew, locations, sets, post, and contingency.
Our 30-minute pilot is set in a hospital and a family home. Compare the budget impact of building sets versus filming at real locations.
We need to cut $120,000 from a $900,000 pilot budget without reducing shooting days. Suggest department-level savings and show the trade-offs.
