OUR FINANCING MODEL EXPLAINED

Traditionally, film budgets are dependent on ‘Gap Financing’ to make up the gap in their budget. Gap Creditors then sit at the top of the pile, first in line for returns:

The creditors demand a high percentage, meaning by the time your film is netting receipts… the interest has compounded and you could end up simply servicing that loan:

WE STRUCTURE IT DIFFERENTLY…

YOUR investment is an equity stake in the film. It gives you a right to a percentage of the profits forever. And you sit FIRST IN LINE to net receipts from the film, right up until you’ve made 20% on your stake:

After that you’re STILL in line to net FUTURE RETURNS IN PERPETUITY….

Only now you share those returns with the creatives.

This entices quality talent to work within our small budget, as they can be assured that if the film is a hit, they will participate in the profits.

So if anyone says ‘you can’t make money in film’ it’s probably because they’ve invested in a traditionally financed budget.

ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME has proved that investors can make money from our model. This is because we can a) keep the budget tight and avoid creditors and b) attract top quality cast and crew who are attracted by the quality of our script/director and by the realistic chance of earning a share of the film’s profits.
