The idea comes first
Every Te Dua film starts with the idea and script. The idea is what makes a launch film travel, so it never gets cut to hit a budget.
002
What moves the cost
Shoot days, locations, cast, and how much of the film is motion graphics. A ten-day launch film with one shoot day sits at one end. A concept-led film with scenes and talent, or a documentary shot over several days, sits at the other.

Budgeting across a portfolio
Funds and platform teams that plan films for several portfolio companies at once share one crew, one production calendar and one set of standards. Each company gets its own film; the fund gets consistency across the portfolio.

Why it is worth the spend
A launch film is one of the few things a young company makes that looks expensive. Investors, hires and customers read that as commitment: a team willing to spend on how it shows up is a team planning to stay.
Plan your launch and we will scope it with you.
