Here’s the number for Low Tide, for the life of the film.

Eight lines, because you told Mula this one is going to a distributor. They’re priced now so nothing lands as a surprise later, and Mula’s fee sits on its own line rather than folded into anything else.

• Production packageLiability, your gear, hired auto, and damage to what isn’t yours. Placed the day you say go.$6,840
• Stage excess, $2MAn extra $2M layer your stage’s contract requires. Placed alongside the package above.$1,450
• Workers’ compThrough payroll once you’re rolling. Budget this at 4% of payroll, not the 2% most people assume: an estimate until payroll runs the real number.$9,200
• Permits, 9 location daysFiled with the city once you’re ready to file. The permit itself takes three business days after that: the city’s clock, not Mula’s.$3,240
• E&O, $1M and $3M, three yearsCovers a claim that your film used a song or a shot it never actually cleared. Placed at delivery, once your distributor sends the schedule that sets these limits, nothing due today.$7,500
• Title, copyright, and script clearance reportsProof your title and script are clear to use, in the file by delivery. Nothing due today.$2,850
• Attorney, flat fee, paid directlyThe opinion letters a distributor wants on title and chain of title. You pay the attorney at delivery, not Mula.$3,500
• Mula’s feeOne line, up front, for placing this and standing behind every certificate that goes out.$2,400

Three of these are here only because of where the film is going: E&O, the reports, and the attorney. A job that isn’t going anywhere after it wraps is priced on the five above them, and Mula adds the rest the day that answer changes.

Price these same eight lines out one vendor at a time and you’re filing six separate applications, each on its own clock, before you land in the same place.

Nothing on this page is charged today. You’ll see exactly what’s due the moment you place it.
