Why Can't I Just Use a Sample Film Budget for Film Finance?

Written by Film Budget

This might seem like a rhetorical or silly question but it sadly is not. The top film finance advisors decry the poor quality of film budget that comes across their desk time and again, either from a mocked-up sample film budget or a form utilized from a software program without the knowledge required to produce accurate figures.

These film financing executives continuously insist that filmmakers engage a qualified line producer to create their custom film budget and schedule for their investment package. The lack of well thought out and thorough financial documentation remains an extremely costly factor in movie production in terms of delay and expense in closing investor and financing deals.

A line producer or unit production manager with years of experience brings their decision making and cost analysis process to each film they create the budget and schedule for. Utilizing this highly regarded skill set is fundamental to good filmmaking practices.
