Documentary pricing varies more than other formats because it depends directly on how many shoot days, how many locations, and how much research the story requires. Here is what actually moves the number.
- What determines the price
Four variables matter most: number of shoot days, number of locations (and whether they are international), research and pre-production time before filming, and editing complexity, meaning how many hours of footage need to become one story. A single-location, single-subject documentary costs a fraction of one with multiple locations across different countries.
- A realistic investment range
A corporate documentary with us starts at $5,000 USD for a focused, single-location story with a short production window. Projects with multiple locations, multiple subjects, or international scope, like Youth Voices for Change, are quoted by scope from there.
