Preparing your journey
Services

Line Production. The unit moves, the schedule holds.

A shoot rarely comes apart over the shot list. It comes apart over a permit that did not arrive, a crew that landed without visas, or a location nobody actually cleared. That is the part we run.

The short version

Everything the camera needs before the camera rolls.

Line production is the physical side of a film: the budget, the schedule, the crew, the locations, the permits, and getting every one of those to the same place on the same morning. Take the whole of it, or only the parts you are short-handed on.

Track record

Forty-four films. Most of Sandalwood has shot with this office.

Since 2009 this desk has moved units for Darshan, Yash, Kichcha Sudeep, Puneeth Rajkumar, Shiva Rajkumar, Upendra, Ganesh and Dhruva Sarja — from a first-time debut to a hundred-day multi-state schedule. The group owns the parts separately: a location company, a production house, an events business and an IATA travel agency. One desk in Jayanagar instead of five vendors who blame each other when a date slips.

What is included

What we take off your producer

Quoted before the recce, so the number you plan against is the number you pay.

Budget and breakdown

Script breakdown, a costed schedule, and cost control through the shoot rather than a reconciliation after it.

Scheduling

Day-out-of-days built around actor availability, monsoon windows and permit lead times, not wishful thinking.

Crew and casting support

Local crew hire, junior artists, and the paperwork that comes with both.

Locations and recces

Scouted against the brief, negotiated with owners and film commissions, and marked honestly for what is cleared and what is not.

Permits and clearances

Municipal, forest, railway, airport and police permissions, plus the film commission paperwork on overseas legs.

Stay, travel and transport

Flights on IATA stock, visas across 60+ countries, hotels near the unit base, and vehicles that arrive when called.

Questions

Before you call

Turns a script and a budget into a shooting reality. Breakdown and schedule, crew hire, locations and permits, travel and stay, transport, and the day-to-day cost control that keeps the film inside its number.

Yes, and most productions do. Some want the full unit run. Others already have a line producer and need locations and permits, or only the crew travel and visas.

Yes. Schedules have run across India and overseas. The travel arm holds IATA accreditation and issues tickets directly, and the visa desk covers 60+ countries, so an international leg does not mean a new set of vendors.

At the point you have a script and a rough schedule. Permits and location access are the two things that cannot be compressed later, and they are exactly what gets left to the end.

One named person, the same one, from first call to wrap. Not a queue and not a different coordinator each week.
