Call sheets and production reports are different documents for tax-credit evidence: New York requires the daily production report (front and back) summarising each day and refuses call sheets as substitutes; California requires a UPM-signed call sheet for the first day of principal photography and UPM-signed production reports for every day, submittable weekly in arrears. Neither lists the report's fields.
