Frequently asked questions
Yes, absolutely. All investors receive a form of ownership and recognition, structured as follows:
Ownership Rights: Investors do not receive "copyright" in the artistic sense, but they receive a financial stake in the project. You will become a profit participant, holding a percentage of the film's equity (ownership) directly proportional to your investment size, as detailed in the investment agreement. This entitles you to a share of the profits.
Credits: Investors will receive an "Executive Producer" or "Associate Producer" credit on the film, based on their level of investment. This credit will appear in the film's opening or closing titles.
Thank you for your interest. We are currently in the fundraising stage and are welcoming conversations with accredited investors and production partners. The investment process typically involves the following steps:
Initial Contact: Please reach out to us via our contact form or email. We will schedule a confidential meeting to discuss the project in detail.
Review of Materials: We will provide you with our comprehensive pitch deck, business plan, and the full script under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
Investment Agreement: If you decide to move forward, our legal team will provide a Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) and an investment agreement outlining all terms.
For specific minimum investment levels and current availability, please contact us directly.
We deeply value our investors' input and believe collaboration is key. The specific level of creative involvement depends on the credited role associated with your investment level.
Executive Producers are typically invited to review key creative materials, such as the final cast list, director's cut, and marketing assets. Your feedback is highly valued in these stages.
The ultimate creative authority, however, rests with the Director and the lead Producers to ensure a consistent and coherent artistic vision for the film. Our goal is to make the best possible work and we see our investors as key partners in that process.
We adhere to a standard and transparent "Waterfall" model for revenue distribution. Here is a simplified breakdown:
Recoupment of Investment: 100% of the film's revenue is first used to pay back investors their initial capital investment.
Return of Capital: Once the initial investment is fully recouped, the next portion of revenue is used to pay investors a pre-agreed, preferred return (e.g., 10-15% of their investment) as a reward for their risk.
Profit Sharing (The "Backend"): After all investors have been fully recouped and received their preferred return, any remaining revenue is considered net profit. This profit is then split 50/50 between the investors (as a group) and the production company, with the investors' share being distributed pro-rata based on their initial equity.
The full, detailed breakdown will be explicitly laid out in the investment agreement.
Transparency and fiduciary responsibility are our top priorities. We guarantee this through:
Detailed Budget: We provide a line-item budget, breaking down all anticipated costs from pre-production through distribution.
Regular Reporting: Investors will receive periodic financial reports detailing expenditures against the budget.
Professional Accounting: We work with an experienced accountant to ensure all spending is accountable and on track.
Audit Rights: The investment agreement will include clauses granting investors the right to audit the production's financial records.
