A field guide to working with SofaSpud
Updated Nov 2026
№ 01
BOOKING
What kinds of projects does SofaSpud Films take on?
We focus on story-first work: short films, micro-features, proof-of-concept scenes, music videos, and branded pieces with a cinematic edge. If you have a script, a concept, or even a rough cut, send it over—if it’s not a fit, we’ll still point you toward a smart next step.
№ 02
TIMELINES
How far in advance should I reach out, and how long does production take?
For shoots, reaching out 3–6 weeks ahead is ideal; for heavier pre-pro (casting, locations, design), 6–10 weeks helps. Turnaround varies by scope, but a common rhythm is 1–3 weeks pre-pro, 1–3 shoot days, and 2–6 weeks for edit, color, and sound.

BUDGETS
Do you have minimum budgets or package rates?
There’s no one-size minimum, but we do aim for budgets that protect the work (and the crew) with realistic time for prep and post. Tell us your range and goals and we’ll suggest a lean approach—anything from a tiny two-person shoot to a full crew with sound and lighting.

PITCHES
What should I include in an inquiry or project pitch?
Share the basics: a short synopsis, target length, references (links or a mood board), your ideal timeline, location, and budget range. If you have a script, lookbook, or prior work, attach it. The clearer your “must-haves,” the faster we can confirm fit and propose a plan.
№ 05
DELIVERABLES
What deliverables can you provide (social cutdowns, captions, masters)?
We can deliver a clean master in your preferred resolution plus platform-ready exports (vertical, square, and cutdowns). If needed, we’ll include captions/subtitles, textless versions, and a basic thumbnail pull. We’ll confirm specs up front so everything lands exactly where you need it.

RIGHTS
Who owns the footage, and can you share the finished film in your portfolio?
Ownership and usage are defined per project in writing. In most client projects, you retain rights to the final deliverables while we keep the ability to show select clips/stills as portfolio samples—only after release or with your approval. For narrative collaborations, we’ll outline credits, festival plans, and permissions early.
