AI Producer Playbook: Volume 1 - The Prep Process

Filmmaking doesn’t fall apart on set — it falls apart in prep.

The AI Producer Playbook: Volume 1 – The Prep Process is a practical, producer-tested guide designed to help indie filmmakers bring clarity and structure to the earliest (and most critical) phase of production.

This playbook shows you how to use AI as a producing assistant — not to replace your team, but to help you think like a stronger producer before your team arrives.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• break down your script into clear production elements
• build a realistic early shooting schedule
• translate cast and crew days into labor costs
• test budget scenarios before locking decisions
• prepare professional casting materials

Every chapter mirrors real producer workflows and includes:
✔️ copy-and-paste AI prompts
✔️ real-world examples
✔️ producer tips you can apply immediately

This playbook is designed to be used:
• as a step-by-step guide
• as a teaching tool
• or as a repeatable system you return to on every project

Prep is power.
This volume helps you start every production with clarity, confidence, and momentum — no matter your budget or experience level.

What’s included:
