Roots and Wings

Production Budget Drafts

Two production approaches. Detailed budgets available on request.

Roots and Wings has two budget drafts: a $1.2M base production plan and an expanded option of approximately $1.4M that adds fees for the main cast and featured performers. The expanded figure depends on talent rates.
