Why this bundle

An indie feature has more paperwork than people think.

Every feature, no matter the budget, runs on roughly the same set of documents. A treatment to pitch with. A breakdown to schedule from. A budget to defend. A deal memo for every crew member, a release for every actor, a release for every location. A call sheet for every shooting day, a production report at end of every day, and a music release on every cleared track.

We pulled all fourteen of those documents into one folder so a first-time feature producer is not building each one from scratch — and a working line producer has them in one place when the next show calls.

What it looks like

One folder, fourteen files, one production package.

Hand-typeset and laid out so the bundle reads as one coherent package — every document matches every other document, every template was made to be used in tandem.

Same conventions across files
Cast IDs, scene numbers, and page counts use the same notation in every document.
Multiple formats included
Excel, Word, and Google Docs versions of every editable template.
Production-tested
Each template is used by working line producers, ADs, and entertainment counsel on real productions.
Reusable across shows
Adapt once to your production company; use on every project after.
