Film finance runs on structures most people never see. While your film school professor is driving Uber between development meetings, we're showing investors and filmmakers how the game actually works.
After watching my crypto documentary get strangled in development, I went deep on how movies really get funded. Not the "chase your dreams" fantasy they sell at film festivals - the actual financial engineering that drives modern media investment.
Over 18 months, I interviewed 150+ industry players, dissected real deals, and mapped the hidden mechanics of film finance. Turns out making money in movies has nothing to do with making hits.
Now I break down the real numbers behind:
Tax credit arbitrage plays that work
Distribution deal structures that don't screw you
AVOD optimization strategies nobody talks about
Performance guarantees that keep distributors honest
Territory stacking plays that reduce risk
Through events, deal workshops, and development programs, we help serious players build sustainable financial structures in film. No BS, no dreams of Netflix millions, just sophisticated intelligence on what actually works.
Because someone needs to tell the truth about how this industry really operates.
