The existing rate card, in USD
Rates below are read from Filmito's canonical package data, not a new political price list. They do not imply acceptance, availability or a counsel-approved service scope. No checkout is offered here.

Separate production from distribution
The ordinary brand package descriptions contain strategy and testing services. Those are not imported into the proposed political scope. The campaign retains all message, strategy, targeting, expenditure and publishing decisions; counsel must determine whether any proposed production work is permissible.
| Production reference | Outside these rates |
|---|---|
| Editing, motion graphics, approved stock or permitted AI footage, rights-cleared voice or music, color and sound. | Media spend, audience selection, campaign strategy, ad-account operation, publishing and legal fees. |
| Standard package reference includes 16:9 and 9:16 delivery in 4K. The outlet may require a separate technical export. | On-location filming, travel, extra aspect ratios and additional language versions are not assumed included in a single-film scope. |
| Included revisions address the agreed production deliverables. | A new script, new rights requirement or changed legal notice can alter the scope and schedule. No deadline waiver is implied. |
Build a deliverable-level cost record
When the subject is a real statement, endorsement or event, authentic campaign-supplied footage may be the appropriate material. Do not budget synthetic media as a substitute for evidence. No competitor price ranges or claimed savings are included because comparable current scope has not been verified.
- Record the campaign-approved script length and each distinct film, not just the number of exports.
- List each aspect ratio, language, caption file and outlet-specific master.
- Identify who supplies actual speaker recordings, source footage and rights permissions.
- Reserve separate amounts for the campaign's legal review and its own media placement.
- Confirm the applicable revision limit and any changed-scope cost before production.
Price does not establish eligibility
FEC foreign-national restrictions reach election-related decision-making. Its case-specific vendor analysis discusses ordinary-course services at the usual and normal charge, without foreign-national decision-making. That analysis is not permission for Filmito's proposed video work. The booking hold remains, with no free campaign spec work or political discounts.

Sources and review status
Compiled with AI-assisted research from the official sources linked on this page, checked on 3 and 4 October 2026. A lawyer has not reviewed it. This is a production reference, not legal advice, a compliance certification or permission to book or publish an ad.
Filmito production references come from the existing local rate card and proposed safeguards. They have not been validated as a permissible U.S. service offering.
- FEC: Foreign nationals
Official guidance on foreign-national contributions and election-related decision-making. It does not clear Filmito's proposed scope.
- FEC: MUR 7350, Factual and Legal Analysis (2019)
Case-specific analysis, especially PDF pages 13 and 14 (analysis pages 8 and 9). Not blanket permission for foreign video production and not a finding about Filmito.
