The Role of the Line Producer in Film and Television Production

The line producer is a critical member of the film production team.  With extensive experience over many years of movie and television production the line producer is an asset to the producer and the financiers.

Using the experience of prepping and shooting film and tv the line producer also generates the film budget for the project at hand generally.  With detailed and meticulous calculation the budget of the movie, video or tv series is produced with care and attention.

Film financiers are really smart these days and the dumb money has left the building.  Investors today demand a real film budget by a seasoned veteran line producer.  You should as well.

The Role of the Line Producer in Film Production

The role of a line producer in film production is often not fully appreciated or understood.  Actually we kind of like it that way.

The reason that is not a problem is that we are one of the crew who are not after accolades and the spotlight.  That is part of the job and the definition of our responsibilities as a line producer.

The key to being a great line producer is that once you have created the film budget for a movie you ideally should become an integral part of the film production.   In this way the line producer is not a stand-out element but rather one of the crew working to make the film production succeed.  Of course the line producer is a position which requires leadership an authority, however the best in the business blend in well with the full crew.

For certain they are the ones charged with creating and validating the film budget for the movie production at hand.

A quality film budget is far more favorable than a film budget lacking in quality.  We finance films for the right filmmakers.  Contact us here.

Film Finance Requires a Film Budget From An Expert

When seeking film financing one of the most critical elements an aspiring or known film producer should undertake is the creation by a line producer of a film budget for the film production involved. Only a skilled production manager or line producer with a great bank of experience on the set and in the field can bring both the fiscal accuracy to the film budget or the reliability factor for your film finance.

Raising funds is difficult to be sure, and the last thing once wishes to do is scare of a potential movie investor with a) no film budget or b) a film budget by a less credible source than a film producer with over a decade of consistent film production services to their name. Both of these pieces of the puzzle are so very important: the knowledge and the experience.

Your film budget and its source are an integral reflection upon yourself and your film production company.

A film budgetis required to get your film financing in place.  It is also a necessary detailed documentation of the film production and the funds needed to execute the process.  A good film budget is created by a line producer or production manager because they have years, if not decades, of experience and knowledge on how to produce a movie.   Film financiers and lenders can tell a shoddy budget from a good one.  Get a good one.

Film budgets by a line producer with extensive experience are more increasingly being squeezed by film financiers as they increasingly seek to remove as much risk as possible from the filmmaking equation. Reducing budgets takes the skills of a veteran line producer with knowledge of how to make these cuts without damaging the overall quality of the movie.

Movie Business Adapts to Current Climate

The movie business continues to grow and change with the economics of the times.
Film studios continue to make less films, but with rising film budgets for the tent-pole pictures that see $150 Million plus movie budgets soar, and become profitable.

With six hundred six movies released last year, the number is expected to shrink dramatically to around four hundred, as the writer’s strike (WGA) and the threatened actor’s strike (SAG) continue to ravage the industry and its workers long after their terminus. Add the economy to the mix and the direction of the film product in the near future at least is clear. Big film budgets and less thoughtful quality films.
