Nobody puts the UPM on the poster, but without them there’s no schedule, no budget, and no show. This week we’re going below the line with Franklyn Gottbetter (producer and unit production manager — Lucifer, The Kominsky Method, 9-1-1: Lone Star, Scrubs, You’re the Worst) and Nash Rahman (assistant UPM and production supervisor — Black Rabbit, Relay, Fleishman Is in Trouble, Life & Beth, The Last O.G.) for a conversation about what it actually takes to keep a production’s money and its calendar pointed in the same direction. We open with a round of Would You Rather, dig into the real handoff between a UPM and an assistant UPM, talk through the budget meeting where the number just doesn’t work, and Franklyn makes the case for why anyone who thinks television is easier than film has never turned in a budget every three days. Plus: what the newly expanded California film and TV tax credit program actually means for the people building the schedule.
