Production Budgeting Services

Here is the breakdown. We build detailed shoot budgets for shoots in Turkey, turning a script and schedule into a complete, defensible cost plan. Our team prepares the budget department by department — cast, crew, gear, locations, transport, lodging, post and backup — using today's Turkish rates and real vendor quotes rather than rough benchmarks. We model the variables that move a budget, handle VAT (KDV) at 20% and the treatment of recoverable tax, and integrate the national rebates so the rebates is reflected accurately in cash flow and net cost. The budget is presented in the production's working currency, structured so financiers and completion guarantors can scrutinise it with confidence.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Turkey's budget fundamentals are favourable. The Turkish lira (TRY) has depreciated a lot against the dollar and the euro, giving hard-currency shoots strong purchasing power across crew, services and locations. The film rebates — a cash rebates of up to 30% on qualifying Turkish spend, administered by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism through its General Directorate of Cinema — materially improves net cost, and the public TV networks TRT co-funds some shoots. The vast 'dizi' industry, the largest TV-series export sector outside the United States, keeps crew and gear competitively priced. We build the rate advantage, the rebates and 20% KDV into a budget that gives producers a clear, accurate picture.
