• Expense Report: record purchases and expenses for your production records.
• Script breakdown Sheet: identify the people, props and other requirements for a scene.

• Cast contact List: collect cast names and contact details in one place.
• Crew contact List: organize crew contact details by your production’s needs.
• Vendor List: Keep track of all vendors in one document.
• Talent Release Form: a document for recording permission from talent.
• Location Release: a starting document for recording permission to film at a property.

• Sample Film Budget: start organizing your projected production costs.

File formats and software

The ZIP contains Word documents (.doc and .docx), Excel spreadsheets (.xls and .xlsx) and PDFs, plus a Disclaimer & License PDF. Some documents have alternative formats or versions, so the download contains more than 10 files.

The call sheet, breakdown sheet and cast and crew contact lists include .doc and .docx versions. The daily production report is a .doc file. The expense report includes .xls and .xlsx versions, and the sample budget is .xls. The continuity logs and release forms are PDFs.

Use Microsoft Word and Excel, or office software that supports the relevant formats. Use a PDF reader to view or print the PDFs. Check page breaks and spreadsheet formatting if you open the files in another app. Choose the Word and Excel files for editing, and use the PDFs for viewing or printing.

How to use the kit

Extract the ZIP, keep the originals and make working copies for each production. Choose the documents you need, adapt the editable files to your workflow and check the completed paperwork before sharing it. Read the included Disclaimer & License before use.

Also available individually for free

These documents are also available through our free film production documents section. Buying the kit gives you the convenience of one download and helps support HTFS.

Need more call sheet choices?

This kit includes a call sheet alongside the other production documents. The separate 24 Call Sheet Templates Bundle offers a wider choice of call sheet layouts.

Digital download. No printed documents are shipped. Release forms need to be reviewed and adapted for the production and the place where you are filming; a template alone does not confirm that you have all necessary permissions.
