Production Services
The Blue Fox Financing team excels in providing comprehensive product production services tailored to projects in the development phase. With a collective experience of overseeing the production and distribution of 100’s of successful films, our team brings unparalleled expertise to every project.
While we specialize in all aspects of development, production, and distribution, producers often leverage our services in the following key areas:
Film/TV Packaging – Films in development frequently stall without the right directors and/or talent attached. This is a crucial element of film financing, and many scripts languish in “development hell” without it.
Tax Credit Advisory – Understanding which regions offer the best tax credits, crews, and production companies is essential. Our team stays updated on the best tax credit opportunities, seeing deals from all over on a weekly basis. As seasoned producers, we have a deep understanding of how to maximize these credits.
Financing Structures – Having a detailed financing breakdown is critical when approaching financiers. Often, we receive projects with no financing plan in place—no budget, schedule, or basic financing structure. A well-structured plan is crucial for determining actor offers, filming locations, and more.
Our goal is to guide you through the entire process, ensuring your project has the best possible chance of getting made.

“Film development is crucial to getting a movie made. It’s where the script is refined, funding secured, the team assembled, and logistics planned. Without it, a film may never reach its full potential or more importantly, even get produced.”
