of the budget in production management for shooting abroad.
This study uses a qualitative method. The data sources of this
research are film producers who had filmed abroad as informants.

The results showed that several strategies were found to support
the implementation of low-cost overseas filming, namely
stories and scenarios, limiting the number of teams allowed

the rules and good networks in the destination country, locations
that open cooperation for sponsorship, adequate equipment
