Every preliminary meeting whether for a feature film or commercial always begins with the words "we don't have as much money as we like" These are the realities of the world we live in today. The fact is production still happens. We are able to handle more challenging budgets without compromising the script and directors vision and have proven this on many occasions. In a time where not everyone is working Balagan prides itself on always being able to deliver - always on the agreed budget and always on the agreed schedule.

Balagan is used to and often handles UK productions for UK clients in Commercials, Feature Films, Music Video's and TV. As experienced Producers, Balagan can handle all production needs from casting, locations, shooting all the way through post to delivery. We do this while ensuring the client stays within their budget yet still achieves the standards and goals set out.

In a word - Yes. We have much experience in Feature Films and Commercials and are used to the exciting pace of modern production. We have frequently delivered commercials with only a few days to Prep, Shoot and Edit our productions before airtime commences. We are fully used to the changes agencies, clients and directors make, especially when presented with all the many options available when shooting in the UK. To date Jonathan has never gone over schedule or budget on any feature film or commercial they have produced. Ever!

Balagan does finance production, although our financing criteria is very specific to our long term plans. However, we are always looking for interesting scripts and ideas as we have great relationships with assorted companies, distributors and financiers around the world. Balagan can help you budget, schedule and package your production. Whether it's casting, location scouting or researching - Balagan is happy to and actually prefers to get involved with a production as early as possible.

Balagan prides itself on its ability to work and adapt to each production, always ensuring that the director and company get everything they need while staying on time and on budget. We have experience with many Far Eastern and European feature film and commercial companies and know that each director and company are used to doing things their way. This we embrace and our crews are used to adapting to each production.
