Know the real number before you say it out loud.

The Budget Maximizer System is the pricing tool I use on every project at Tell Studios. You put in the job. It puts in the contractor markup, the licensing and curation time and the owner's premium, and shows you the number that actually covers everything. About five minutes per estimate.

Most filmmakers don't have a rate problem. They have a hidden-cost problem. This is how you stop having one.

What's inside

• The Budget Maximizer tool. The Google Sheet we price every project with. Put in the job and it builds the estimate, hidden costs included.
• Lesson 1: Why you're undercharging, and how to stop feeling weird about money.
• Lesson 2: How to estimate like a pro, and the four keys that let you charge a lot more.
• Lesson 3: The power of packages. Three ways to say yes instead of one price to argue with.
• Lessons 4 and 5: The walkthrough. How to use the tool, then customize it with your real rates, gear and team.
• Bonus lesson: using the Budget Maximizer as a solo filmmaker.
• Lifetime access. Run every future quote through it.
