If rescheduling before pre-production has begun, the full deposit amount will be applied to the rescheduled project with no additional fees. If rescheduling after pre-production has begun, a 15% service fee will be applied to the total project budget. Additional services beyond the scope of the initial project package can be booked via our website at currently published rates. Film production is often volatile work and can be affected by many unexpected variables. We build this uncertainty into our project budgets and production plans to some measure, and will make every reasonable effort to accommodate such changes without incurring additional costs to you whenever possible. We are flexible and can often find creative solutions in these situations. In any case, we will discuss these issues with you if and when they arise, and alert you to any additional costs ahead of time.
