BUDGETS & SCHEDULES 

We provide end-to-end budgeting and scheduling services for film and television productions, with a particular focus on projects based in the UK. Our team has extensive experience working across multiple territories and currencies, allowing us to build accurate, production-ready budgets for shoots taking place in the UK or internationally.In addition to our UK production expertise, we specialize in navigating international tax incentives and rebates. We analyze and compare film tax credits across various countries—such as Ireland, Hungary, Canada, and South Africa—to identify the most financially advantageous locations for your production. Our strategic guidance helps you select the optimal country or region based on your script’s creative demands, logistical requirements, and budgetary goals.By combining creative alignment with financial planning, we streamline your pre-production process and ensure your project is set up to maximize available incentives from day one.

SCHEDULING

We coordinate the scheduling process with experienced Assistant Directors from our trusted network, bringing the right AD onto the project for the requirements of the production.

Depending on the stage and needs of the project, this can include:

• Initial schedule planning

• Shooting schedules

• Stripboards

• Day-out-of-days

• Budget and schedule integration

• Schedule revisions

• Production scenario planning

This means producers can access experienced scheduling expertise without having to build a full production department at development stage.

BUDGET & SCHEDULE

The two need to work together.

A schedule affects the budget.

The budget affects the schedule.

Locations, cast, crew, travel, shooting days, overtime, equipment and incentives all have an impact.

We bring those considerations together early, helping producers understand what is realistic before committing to full pre-production.

TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION 

DIRECTOR RECCES & LOCATION SCOUTS

​

A recce is more than a flight and a hotel.

It is about getting the right people to the right location, with enough time to properly assess what the production needs.

We can coordinate:

Flights and rail travel
Hotels and accommodation
Airport and station transfers
Cars and drivers
Local transport
Recce itineraries
Multi-location travel
Travel for directors, producers and key crew
Changes and last-minute adjustments

We can work from an existing itinerary or help build the practical travel plan around the proposed recce schedule.

​

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRAVEL 

When a production is considering different territories, travel can form an important part of the development process.

We can coordinate travel for:

UK and international recces
Location scouting
Producer and director visits
Territory assessments
Meetings with local production partners
Supplier and facility visits
Early production planning

The aim is simple: make the trip work for the production.

​

ACCOMMODATION 

Finding the right accommodation isn't simply about finding the cheapest available room.

Location, travel time, accessibility, check-in and check-out times, proximity to recce locations and the overall project budget can all affect the choice.

We can coordinate accommodation for individual development trips through to larger groups travelling as part of soft prep.
