To fulfill the business aspects of the physical production of films, you need to hire a Line Producer. Line Producers act as the 'line' between the 'above-the-line' costs, which relate to writers, producers, directors, and cast, and the 'below-the-line' costs which include everything else, e.g., crew salaries, equipment rentals, development costs, locations, set design and construction, insurance, etc.
Once we receive the approved script, we will assess the likely 'below the line cost of the production which involves breaking down the screenplay into a schedule - a timetable for the film shoot that shows how long it will take to shoot each scene. From this schedule, we will accurately estimate the cost of each day's shooting, and produce a provisional budget estimating the total amount of funding required. Once the producer and executive producers have raised the required finance, the film can go into pre-production.
