FREE CINEMA AND TV PRODUCER COURSE IN ROME
How is a film organised? Who coordinates the people, equipment and resources needed to make a television series, a concert or a major event?
Behind every production lies a complex process of planning, organisation and management involving numerous professional roles.
The Cinema and TV Producer course at ITS Academy Roberto Rossellini prepares students for precisely these activities, training professionals who can contribute to film, television, music and live performance projects.
This is not a directing or acting course, but a programme for people who want to work behind the scenes, dealing with the organisational, production and financial aspects that make a project possible.
The training is intended for school leavers interested in entering the sector through practical skills that can be applied immediately in professional settings.
WHAT YOU LEARN DURING THE COURSE
The programme covers the main activities involved in audiovisual and live entertainment production, including:
- Production organisation: planning activities, managing crews and coordinating personnel, equipment and suppliers.
- Budgeting and financial management: estimates, resource planning and cost control.
- Film and television production: organising shoots, set logistics and managing production processes.
- Events and live entertainment: organisational and production aspects of concerts, performances, television programmes and events.
- Project development: feasibility analysis, planning and managing the various stages of production.
- Funding and regulations: calls for applications, incentives, contracts, rights and administrative matters.
- Distribution and the market: how the film and television industries and digital platforms operate.
- Sustainable production: principles of green management applied to the audiovisual sector.
Teaching combines lessons, practical exercises, workshops and projects, with the involvement of industry professionals.
DURATION, LOCATION AND WORK PLACEMENT
The course lasts two years and takes place in person in Rome, with compulsory attendance, from Monday to Friday, with activities scheduled in the morning and/or afternoon.
The programme includes:
- 1,000 hours of training, comprising lessons and practical workshops;
- 800 hours of work placement with companies in the audiovisual and live entertainment sectors.
ITS Academy Rossellini has a network of partner companies where students can gain practical training experience.
There is also the possibility of taking part in international mobility opportunities through the Erasmus+ programme, subject to the applicable arrangements and availability.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: WHERE CAN PRODUCTION STUDENTS WORK?

- Film and television series production;
- Television programmes and content for digital platforms;
- Concerts, festivals and music productions;
- Events, live performances and shows;
