🎬 What is a Producer's Package? 🎬

Published: Tue, 08/17/21

Hi ,

We often get asked the question, "What is a Producer's Package?" We also see it as a common search on our website.

If you need to ask what it is, or are looking online for example, then it is almost definitely NOT the right tool for your financing and production.

Simply put, a packaged project is a film or a television series in between the script stage and the pre-production phase that has one or more well-known actors or a famous director already attached. It is almost always prepared by entertainment industry professionals for entertainment industry professionals.

A likely scenario is an actor's agent may also represent a great director and has a long-standing relationship with the literary agent of the author of a great script. So s/he "packages" the three of them together and they start to gather other industry talent and shop their package to the studios.

Here's an example of a Producer's Package:
"UTA is packaging this and arranging the financing, and the agency reps everyone in the package but Weng, who is at CAA, and Storm, who is with Franfurt Kurnit and Romark Entertainment."

So, if your everyday world does not consist of UTA, CAA and your contacts at studios - major or indie - what SHOULD you consider? Passive vs active investors, public offering, fundraising docs vs investment vehicles - are just a few things.

"Melissa, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing even your lowest priced package. It all sounded to good to be true. I spent 2 months last year writing a business plan from scratch for a different medium. So I just couldn't imagine getting anything worth while for the prices you were offering. But I have an investor that requested a detailed plan with financial projections within 2 weeks, so I pulled the trigger on your Gold + Financials Filmmaker Bundle.

It was the best money I've ever spent! Can't even begin to tell you what a difference it makes. So concise and on point. Makes putting the plan together so fluid and easy. Not having to worry about what to cover, only how to best state it for my film project. Amazing. Thank you so much. Worth every dollar!"
