## Summary

Fees and expenses can materially change what remains in a film finance model after gross receipts move through the waterfall.

## Concepts

FilmmakerOG may help users reason about:

- sales fees;
- distribution fees;
- collection account expenses;
- legal, accounting, agency, and other transaction costs;
- debt repayment;
- investor recoupment;
- deferments and residual obligations.

## Why it matters

A finance plan that ignores fees and expenses can overstate what investors and producers may receive. The goal is not to make the numbers look better. The goal is to make the structure clearer before professional review.
