You have the script - now what?

In order to get your project off the ground, you're going to need an accurate schedule and budget that can withstand the scrutiny of investors, production companies and completion bond guarantors.

​

When you hire me to break down and budget your project, you get the following items, specifically prepared for and tailored to your project:

​

• A shooting schedule (a rough plan for shooting your project

• A cast day-out-of-days (showing how long you'll need your cast)

• A budget top sheet (1-2 page overview of your budget)

• A detailed budget (10-50 pages showing where every dollar is allocated)

• Advice on union agreements and guild contracts

• Information on film incentives or rebates your project may qualify for

• Suggestions on how to maximize every dollar of your production budget from prep through delivery

• All files delivered in PDF and Movie Magic files

​

If the script is provided as a Final Draft file, as part of my budgeting services I will also provide you with a numbered script to match the schedule.

​

• Tax Credit Estimation - projection on production incentive amounts, delivered in range of low, expected and high, in both Excel and PDF files.
