BUDGET & PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
When we create a budget, we discuss the details of the project with our foreign partners in order to best understand their needs and concerns.
We’re used to work with international budget and accounting tools (MMB and others) as well as cost controlling procedures.
Transparency keeps us accountable and our partners knowledgeable about where and how their money is being spent.

When you share the details of your project, we can offer reference photos from our extensive location database within a couple of hours if needed.
If we don’t have it in the archive, we’ll find it for you and upload it on a dedicated website.
We have location scouts based across all the regions of France who are ready and willing to start scouting your project tomorrow.
FINANCING
We offer financing support and collaborate closely with the French film board and local film commissions to guide our clients on fundraising opportunities and available incentives, including the Tax Rebate for International Production (TRIP).
Administered by the CNC (French National Center for Cinema, TV, and the Moving Image), the TRIP is selectively granted to French production service companies. It covers 30% of eligible expenses incurred in France, increasing to 40% if French VFX costs exceed €2M.
Contact us to learn more about financing options in France and how the TRIP can benefit your project.
