If you are trying to determine what you need to get film financing for your movie, here are a few tips on who actually would benefit from having a movie budget created for their film.
1. Producers
2. Directors
3. Writers
4. Production company executives
5. Actors
Obtaining a movie budget is a smart endeavor for a filmmaker as it signals several important factors to investors and financiers. The first and foremost is that it conveys a certain practicality. It also demonstrates a sense of responsibility.
1. Producers - Clearly Producers require a detailed, organized and well planned out film budget and shooting schedule for the production. Without these basic tools there is not much of a production, not really a sense of planning and certainly no decision to demonstrate a thorough understanding of where to spend the financing of the movie.
2. Directors - Very often Directors can take the reigns of their career and get the funding ball rolling themselves. To do so requires an accurate, well planned movie budget and shooting schedule through which an investor may fund their film. Directors understand that leadership is required and stepping up to the plate and getting a professional film budget custom made for their movie is an important leadership maneuver.
3. Writers - As with Directors, the Writer is the genesis of the production to begin with. Their vision has launched the film into a screenplay from the basics of an idea. With their understanding of the production, the story and the scene by scene breakdown of the plot, locations and dialogue writers have a more thorough understanding than most in the process. Taking the bull by the horns and getting a line producer to create a movie budget for their project is not only smart, but very often is the critical motivation for investors and other team members to jump into action.
4. Production Company Executives likewise need to know the cost of producing motion pictures. With the ever and fast changing technology, process and workflow of film production it is important for film executives to have the ear and knowledge of a line producer to budget their films for production.
5. Actors - Quite frequently in Hollywood a film takes on a whole new element when an actor is attached to the production. Having an acting on board brings that character to life for the creatives and also can be the stimulus for finance for the movie. Actors have great drive in their careers, constantly improving their craft. Many times they clearly see the path to their on screen performance is to help get the production moving with a movie budget for investors to evaluate and fund the production.

Film financiers require a professional movie budget by a line producer in order to evaluate your production. When considering financing a movie production, the finance executive must determine the true cost of the film.
Producers seeking funding for their films are likewise judged by the quality of the movie budget that they present. Financiers are not stupid, not most of them anyway, and they can see a template film budget, sample movie budget or software generated movie budgets.
First and foremost, an investor wishes to see that the filmmaker is willing enough to invest in themselves. One way to establish this is by hiring a qualified line producer or production manager with extensive experience in the field making movies.
Utilizing the service of a novice template generator reveals an inability to surround oneself with professionals. Alternatively, bringing onboard a line producer early in the process demonstrates the filmmaker has the ability to delegate and surround themselves with experienced crew.
