Most investors have never seen a deal like this. Here’s what the experience looks like, start to finish.
We learn about your investment goals, risk tolerance, tax situation, and timeline. No commitments — just a conversation about whether film investment makes sense for you.
We send you a detailed package your tax advisor can review — deal structure, tax implications, risk factors, projected returns, and comparable data. Everything your CPA needs to give you an informed opinion.
You review the project details: budget, talent attachments, distribution strategy, financial projections, and our track record. We answer every question transparently.
We tailor the investment structure to your specific situation — choosing from tax-advantaged equity, secured debt, or a combination. Every deal is custom-built.
Transaction documents are prepared by qualified counsel. You review with your own attorney. Funds are placed in escrow until all conditions are met.
Your capital goes to work. You receive regular updates on production progress, budget status, and milestones. We maintain oversight throughout.
The film enters distribution across multiple channels — theatrical, streaming, international, home video. Revenue flows through the waterfall structure, with investors in priority position.
Most people think investing in a film means putting up the whole budget. That’s not how we work. Every project we structure uses a capital stack — multiple layers of financing that spread risk across different sources.
Bottom line: On a $2M film, an equity investor might put in $500K — but they’re investing alongside $500K in state tax credits and $1M in senior lending. That’s real risk-sharing built into every deal.
You’ve got a great project. We help you turn it into an investment opportunity that serious capital can back.
Tell us about your film — script, budget, talent, timeline. We evaluate every submission and respond within one week.
We analyze your project’s financial viability — comparable data, distribution potential, state incentive eligibility, and market positioning.
We build investor-grade pro forma models with realistic revenue projections across all distribution windows. No wishful thinking — just honest numbers backed by data.
We design the investment structure — tax-advantaged equity, debt financing, or a hybrid — that gives your project the strongest possible value proposition for investors.
We introduce your project to our network of 100+ qualified investors, handle investor relations, and manage the capital raise process.
Once funding is secured, we coordinate closing, escrow, and the flow of funds. You focus on making your film.
We handle the business side so you can focus on what matters.
We package film projects as concrete investment opportunities with pro forma models, clear value propositions, and deal terms that motivate sophisticated investors.
We structure deals using IRC Section 181, Section 168(k), and Regulation D — giving investors tax efficiency alongside profit-motivated returns.
Rigorous project vetting, secured debt with conservative LTV ratios, insurance, legal opinion letters, and completion bond coordination.
Distressed projects don’t have to die. We restructure troubled deals into tax-advantaged opportunities that realign incentives.

We demystify film finance for both sides. Investors get producer credits, set visits, premiere invitations, and a front-row seat to the creative process.
