# film production process — Accountant

As an Accountant working with film production companies, understanding the 'film production process' isn’t about *making* movies – it’s about accurately tracking costs at each stage defined by that process. Think of scriptwriting as pre-production overhead, location scouting as travel expenses, principal photography as direct labor & materials (camera rentals, set builds), post-production as editing/VFX fees, and distribution as marketing spend. You need to know *when* money is allocated to which phase because cost reporting isn’t just a total; studios demand breakdowns by production stage for tax credits, investor reports, and profitability analysis.
