Film finance experts agree that a film budget and schedule from a qualified line producer is critical to obtain funding.

Indie Film Budget and Schedule | Line Producer | Film Production Services

Written by film producer Jack Binder (Columbia Pictures 'Reign Over Me', New Line Cinema's 'The Upside of Anger')

I created Filmbudget.com in 1997 after 12 years of being a producer of film and television and providing film production services. Following being a producer of live productions, working for HBO as a Production Coordinator on 'Comic Relief' and as the vice president of creative affairs for Michael Phillips Productions ('The Sting', 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind') I went on to produce indie film and studio movies for Columbia Tri-Star, The Walt Disney Company, Lionsgate Films, New Line Cinema and many other production companies and studios.

The idea behind the film budget company was to provide line producer film production services for fellow filmmakers interested in moving their screenplays forward into production. Knowing that film finance requires a quality indie film budget and schedule in order to determine the accuracy and veracity of the film producers finance and business plan, it was a logical step to provide this documentation for filmmakers.

This tradition carries forward today utilizing twenty-five years of film production experience. From whom you obtain your film budget reflects upon yourself and your company. I welcome further inquire at http://filmbudget.com/contact.shtml

Line Producer Production Services

A quality film budget custom crafted by an experienced line producer is critical to the filmmaking process.  In order to obtain film financing and attract movie investors a filmmaker must consider the viability of the source of their film budget documentation.

While templates and cheap software solutions may seem attractive in cost at the outset, they lack the years of experience and attention to detail that creates accuracy and reliability that is required when determining how much money one needs to borrow or obtain from an investor.

Bank lenders, film finance institutions, executives and distributors all are aware of the importance of a viable film budget and schedule and consistently advise film producers, directors and actors involved in the film production side to obtain the production services of a line producer with many, many years of services to the film industry.

Co-Productions Set to Take Greater Role

Co-productions are set to take a greater role in film finance and production as the film budget enhancement of film tax incentives continues to evaporate. Due to the attack on the film industry from local governments whom have shut down life supporting tax credits for the film business in support of production film budget costs targeting local economies and industries.

Overseas, countries have for a long time determined the value of film tax incentives and credits to enhance the film budget of local artists and art house films. With the decreased film funding from state coffers supporting film crews and vendors in the U.S., such overseas collaborations will increasingly fund the film budget of those movies willing to undertake the extensive cooperation required.
