Budget.

We've put together a comprehensive budget for The Book of Life. The producers have carefully considered all expenses related to production, from pre-production to post-production. This includes labor costs, location expenses, production design fees, camera equipment rentals, and all other elements of producing a film. We've taken great care to ensure that every aspect of the film is accounted for in our budget, and we're confident that we can produce a high-quality film while staying within our financial means.

Fiscal Sponsorship

We are working towards having Film Independent as the fiscal sponsor of The Book of Life, which means donations in support of the film will be tax-deductible. Film Independent is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that champions creative independence in visual storytelling.
