Feature Film for Theatrical Release

• Access to Pact's business affairs support for the life of the production.
• Access to Pact's suite of contracts and agreements for the life of the production.
• Access to Pact's escrow management services should you need them.

A production registered with us does not entitle the SPV or parent company to membership, so they would not have access to Film member benefits, such as invitations to Working Groups, Pact events and discounted missions, nor access to member-only areas of the Pact website.

However, a parent company of an SPV could apply for Film membership in its own right in order to access full member benefits when it is not in production.

You can find out more about Film membership for the parent company on the Join Pact page.

The production is a film intended for theatrical release.

To access our services, the SPV will need to pay the Pact Production Levy, which is based on the production budget. Current Production Levy rates can be found here.

Please note that the new rates became applicable on Friday 1st April 2022. Prior to that, Pact charged a Cinema Levy for feature film.

An invoice for the Production Levy will be issued by Pact's Accounts team upon receipt of your production registration form.

Important: Please ensure that you register your production before principal photography begins. Pact cannot issue production specific cast Forms of Engagement until registration is complete

Step One: Register Your Production

You will need to provide a number of important details about your production to complete the registration form. It is advised to allow at least half an hour to complete the form, though the precise time will depend on how readily available you have the required information.

At each stage of the registration form, you are able to save it in draft and return to it later if required.

Please note that you can only have one Production Registration form in progress at any one time. If you need to register more than one production, each form will need to be completed and submitted before moving on to the next one.

Step Two:  Access Pact’s Services

We will usually be in touch about your registration within 48 hours from receipt of the production form. The time taken to approve a registration will depend upon a number of factors and the registration of a low budget or very low budget film can take longer due to the additional registration requirements, including Equity’s approval of the low budget registration.

Parent company membership (if required) usually takes 48 hours from receipt of a completed application form and payment.

If you are in doubt about any aspects of the production and/or requirements, please get in contact with Grace Goodier: [email protected]
