Investors

There are several ways investors can assist our film. If contacted directly, we will be happy to discuss projects that we have in the works. Most indie film investments are structured as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. Investors are only responsible for the amount of money they decide to invest, and are not accountable for any other debts or obligations. Investors are typically repaid their initial investment before anyone else receives anything from the project.

Something many investors may not realize is that there are tax benefits in place for film production costs. According to Section 181 of the Internal Revenue Code, investors can deduct 100 percent of funds invested in "qualified" films. A "qualified" film has a budget below $15 million, with a minimum of 75 percent of the budget going towards qualified compensation-compensation for services performed in the U.S. by actors, producers, directors or other production staff. This tax benefit expires Jan. 1, 2009. Many states offer their own film investment tax incentives, so investors should do some research in their area to learn what other benefits may apply.

Film investment should not be looked at as a way to make a quick buck. It's for investors looking to put their money into a fun and creative project. Film investment can provide an experience like no other, but investors should be sure never to invest more than they can afford to lose.

Those who provide funds for our film's production will have their names listed in our credits, typically as a producer. While it is always possible that one's investment will turn out to be a money-making hit, the main appeal of film investments is the opportunity to be involved in something unique. Money is one thing, but the idea of being involved in a film, and being in and around something that's so creative and energizing can be just as big a motivation as an investment return. Also seeing your name appear in the credits for many years to come.
