BUDGETS
Picking a random number of days just for budgetary purposes has no relevance to
your project and is just a placeholder.
You need an itemized budget created specifically for your project. To get that detailed
budget, you need a breakdown and shooting schedule.
We give you a 60-120 page itemized budget (depending on the script) along with a
breakdown, a day out of days and a strip board.
We are expert in advising you which location would be best suited for your project,
and which cities will offer you the best tax incentives or rebates.
We do budgets for Feature Films, Movies of the Week, 1 Hour Pilots, 1/2 Hour Pilots,
and Amortized Series Budgets.
Budgets and schedules generally take 2-3 weeks. (Scripts must be supplied as a Final
Draft Document).
Budgeting and Business Services
To get independent financing, you need a business plan that spells out all the
details of your proposal.
This plan must not only look impressive, it has to be accurate and finely detailed.
A key element of the plan is a detailed budget. If you just want a bottom line
figure on a generalized budget, there are websites that will sell you one for a few
hundred dollars. But those "quick" budgets are not specific enough. A twenty-page
budget may look good in the business plan, but it is not production ready.
Knowledgeable financiers can see right through it and it could hurt you when you
get into pre-production.
BUSINESS PLANS
The most important element of the package you present to financiers is your Business
Plan. Once you have all the necessary items, the plan will put it forth as a complete
package.
PACKAGING CONSULTATION
We will work with you to put together a talent package. We will guide you through
the steps of selecting and acquiring the talent you want to attach to your project. This
can usually be accomplished in two 1 hour sessions - unless you talk a lot or have no
knowledge of the business.
