Producers

FOR FILMMAKERS ONLY

Many Filmmakers believe that the only thing that stands between them and their project getting made is the lack of money.  Although this seems to make notional sense, the facts do not support this conclusion. Our research and experience has found that what differentiates deals that get done from deals that don’t is not just how a deal is packaged from a talent perspective, but just as importantly, how it is structured and vetted from a financial perspective. If a deal has not thoroughly addressed the risk concerns of potential investors, that deal probably should not be done. Investor comfort is paramount!

An investor’s primary goal is to make money. To accomplish that they have to ask themselves two questions. The first and foremost question is: what is the probability that this deal will fail to give me my money back? The second question is: how much money can I realistically make? Addressing the second one without dealing with the first one is deal financing suicide.

It is important to keep in mind that at the end of the day, if the project fails, the investor is the one left holding the bag.  Everyone else associated with the project has already been paid and gone home. If you can demonstrate that you have gone through great lengths to protect an investors downside risk of failure, you now have a captive audience. When a deal is packaged in such an appealing way that addresses an investors needs, this is a deal that will attract financing in the shortest possible time frame.

The goal of our consulting practice is to streamline the process and time it takes to get your project ready to attract financing. We work on a fee for service basis.  We do not accept any project on a “spec” basis.  All projects must go through our 35 step vetting process that can be customized for your individual needs. There is a fee for Phase I (Evaluation) and an additional fee for Phase II (Implementation).   If your project passes our greenlight evaluation and we agree to seek financing on your behalf (Phase III), we get paid a percentage of the amount of money raised.  Once financing has been secured, we will refund the monies collected during Phase I and Phase II.

It’s not the Pitch, it’s the Package
