"I have a few clients I’m working with on reducing their series budgets down so that it’s a ‘can’t say no’ proposition for buyers ($50K-$100K per hour is a sweet spot depending on genre and subject)." Can you clarify this a bit? Is the 50K-100K the cost of the series per hour or is someone willing to pay that for each hour or...? TIA

That's the cost....

So one might expect to make money at that cost per hour? I realize that quality and entertainment value are a big factor but 50K-100K/hour seems like quite a bit to recover. Or am I not analyzing/estimating properly?

Spot on. Hollywood's meltdown has opened the door for smaller independent producers and studios to find money in markets outside North America, and a spike in co-productions.
