Cost Report

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.

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).
