SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION BUDGETING
Production Budgeting Services
Expert budget planning and financial management for productions in Peru.
A production budget turns creative plans into a clear financial plan. Peru draws producers with low crew rates and a friendly PEN exchange rate. A good budget still covers the big logistics costs of high-altitude Andean and remote Amazon shoots. It also covers the lighter costs of a Lima-based shoot.
We build full shoot budgets from today's Peruvian market data and years of field work. Our team works with your line producer to set real numbers. Each budget reflects true rates from Lima gear houses and local crew costs. It also adds the large logistics spares that Andean and Amazon shoots need.

Accurate Peruvian budgets that survive coast, sierra and selva
A production budget in Peru turns a creative document into a financial plan. That plan must hold up across three work settings, each with its own cost profile. Crew rates in Lima rise and fall with demand. That demand comes from the Tondero and Big Bang Films slates and regional commercial volume. It also comes from the global features that now use the country as a doubles location. Cusco and the Sacred Valley carry their own premium for high-altitude crews, oxygen support, and longer travel days.
Studio and gear houses in Lima carry one set of rate cards. Regional rental agents in Arequipa and Iquitos carry another. Amazon shoots add boat charter, satellite communications, and yellow-fever per-diem lines. You must model these from the start. Our line producers and production accountants build budgets in Movie Magic, Hot Budget, or a client's Excel template. Each one carries above- and below-the-line detail tied to today's market data, not recycled benchmarks.
Rebates and structural planning sit at the heart of any serious Peruvian budget. Peru does not yet offer cash rebates on the scale of its neighbours. But DAFO grants under the Ley de la Cinematografía Peruana (Law 26370) can shift the cost line a lot. The same goes for Ibermedia regional support and MINCETUR destination funding. The bilateral co-production treaties with Argentina, Spain, and Brazil add even more, when you place spend with care.
We fold IGV (18% VAT), SCTR workplace insurance, ESSALUD social security, and CTS provisions into the line items. Our team also structures co-shoot budgets so treaty thresholds are met without leaving rebate money on the table. During production we run weekly cost reports, variance analysis, and backup tracking, tuned to altitude weather and Amazon logistics. We close the books to support auditor review and DAFO grant reporting.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What budget formats do you work with?
We work in every standard format. That includes Movie Magic Budgeting, Hot Budget, and custom Excel sheets. Our team can match your firm's preferred format, or send the budget in several formats at once.
How do Peruvian tax incentives affect budgets?
Peru offers major tax incentives, like the film incentive that gives 30% rebates on eligible Peruvian spend. We build tax credit forecasts into each budget. That guides spend to where it lifts your incentive recovery.
Can you help with co-production budgets?
Yes, we handle global co-production budgets every day. That work spans multi-currency management, treaty compliance, and spend split across regions to tap many incentive programs.
What's included in ongoing budget management?
Full production accounting tracks daily costs and weekly cost reports. It covers variance analysis, cash flow management, and end-of-production financial reconciliation.
