Company Mission

The Farm Cove Solution

Real-time control. Without the studio overhead.

Farm Cove gives producers the same financial visibility as the majors—without the admin, headcount or cost.

Budgets, approvals, payments, rebate prep—it’s all stitched together so you can manage spend in real time.

Why Farm Cove?

Great films need more than a great story.

Tax credits, accounts, compliance—it’s not glamorous, but it pays the bills.

Farm Cove handles the back office, so you can concentrate on storytelling.

The Problem

The issue isn’t talent—it’s tools.

Big studios track every penny. Most indies just hope for the best.

Short/Independent/Feature Films

95% of all films made

A study by the British Film Institute (BFI) found that of 613 British films released between 2003 and 2010, only 7% turned a profit. 

This drops even further to 3.1% for films with budgets under £500,000.

VS

Hollywood Blockbusters

Big studio backed films

An analysis of Hollywood blockbusters with budgets over $100 million, released between 2000 and 2015, indicated that approximately 70% were profitable. Notably, the profitability rate increased from 46% in 2004 to 76% in 2015.

The Reason

70% of your companies life-time budget is gone in 40 days

Most shoots burn cash fast—with no live oversight.

Producers are left guessing. Crew feel short-changed.

Overspend is inevitable.

A typical movie shoot is 30 or 40 days

Smaller Films

It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way
