The Deal Structure

If you aren't familiar with Private Placement Investments, you may not be thrilled to read all the risk factors involved. However, some studios will write agreements that convey little to no risk factors and that is a huge red flag. We can help you find the flaws in how you read an offering or agreement in film to be sure, the "Managers" are not creating voids that will keep you in the dark during all phases of production, but all phases of sales/distibution and you return on investment.

Development Vs. Production

There is a very big difference between a project in development or in production. Development is a vague term used to say, we don't have much in this project and in the beginning stages of figuring out how the producers want to proceed. Investing during development is the riskiest phase to invest in any film project and we can help you determine exactly where a project is, in it's "production". These early investors will usually be promised a higher ROI.

Why did they contact you?

Just lucky I guess, right? Not exactly! They contacted you because your name was simply on a list sold to the producers, usually as an "Accredited Investor" list. At least that's what they will tell you when the person who cold called you explains it, they will make it seem like you were on an exclusive list. No, there is more to this and usually, they are trying to find a way to make their call legal.

Greed before logic?

There are some very reputable independent film studios out there who do have integrity and believe in the worth of their projects, but that isn't enough to make you money. This is one investment you need to be fully prepared to lose money on, but at the same time, you could be investing in the next box-office hit and be in a position to see huge returns. Making informed decision are the only way to be comfortable in risking your hard-earned money.
