We go beyond just numbers—we take the time to analyze every aspect of your film’s production and break down the costs in a way that aligns with your creative goals and financial constraints. Here’s how we handle your project:
Script Breakdown: We start by breaking down your script to identify the essential elements that impact the budget, including locations, props, wardrobe, and special effects.

Detailed Budgeting: We provide a detailed breakdown of your film production budget, ensuring that each department is accounted for and within the allocated budget.
Researching Tax Incentives and Union Rates: Our team conducts thorough research to identify tax incentives for film production available in the production’s location and ensures that union rates are applied accurately for each crew member’s role. We take the guesswork out of financial planning, providing clear, reliable estimates.

We’ve worked on over 100 film projects so far, with some already streaming on OTT platforms and others still in production. However, to be honest, a lot of filmmakers haven’t found success not because of our services, but due to the poor narration and structure of their story. A great film starts with a compelling story, and without that, even the best pre-production can’t guarantee success.
We’ve been freelancing and selling these services for the past 5 years, helping filmmakers navigate the complexities of pre-production—from script breakdowns to budgeting, scheduling, pitch decks, and business plans. Our goal is to provide you with the foundation you need to bring your film to life, but the heart of your project always lies in a strong, well-crafted story.
