Film Opportunity Investing
The sure way to miss success is to miss the opportunity
Bentley Capital Funding Is Not accepting any film projects for funding at this time.
Film Investor Introduction
Investors are always looking to diversify their portfolios. Most do not realize that the film business is a $100 billion a year industry.
The Motion Picture Association of America reported global ticket sales in 2019 were over $101 billion dollars. $42.2 billion came from global ticket sales and $58.2 billion came from home and mobile entertainment.
This $100 billion dollar will only increase over time because of the new technologies that are being carved out for viewing both at home and on the move.
Why Bentley Capital Funding?
Bentley Capital Funding partners with qualified film investors. Bentley Capital Funding manages the investment dollars on behalf of those qualified investors. It works for the benefit of the investor, rather than the interests of the studios. By partnering with an agent with expertise in both finance and film production, investors gain diversification and allow Bentley Capital Funding to manage the lengthy process of bringing a film to the market.
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises
Investment Opportunity
The primary role of the typical Executive Producer is to bring investment money to the studios. The studios then allocate the spending of the investment resulting in the loss of transparency and audit control for the investor. As a result, the investor has little assurance of their recoupment position. This is not how Bentley Capital Funding executes its role as an Executive Producer.
Conversely, Bentley Capital Funding works exclusively for the investor. It works on behalf of the investor in film projects and serves as the sole source of financial decisions relative to the investment money. Because of this unique focus, risk is minimized and there is increased potential for high rates of return in the shortest amount of time. This relationship is transparent and investors have the authority to audit Bentley Capital Funding Film Production books at any time.
Film investing is inherently risky. Because of this fact, Bentley Capital Funding meticulously screens potential films in order to allocate investor dollars only to projects with the highest potential for recoupment and rate of return.
What Film Investors Must Consider Before Investing
When an investor is considering investing in the film industry they have to look at each film investment as a start-up.
Each film is a new venture with no history to forecast performance and this is because each films success is based on its own:
Structure
Distribution
Audience
The following is a typical “waterfall”
**Rates and terms are subject to change
**Each film produced enters into its’ own production agreement with each individual investor
Investors are encouraged to speak with their tax accountants because there is a tax incentive that could be available known as the Section 181. Put simply, Section 181 states that investment in the motion picture shot in the United States is 100% tax deductible for the investor in the same year invested. Under Section 181 an active investor may deduct the money, which is invested in a film or television production from his or her passive income, earned in the same year. Productions with budgets below $15,000,000.00 and up to $15,000,000.00, which have, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its production completed within the United States qualify under Section 181. Investors can be either individuals or corporations/businesses.
Most of us don’t recognize opportunity until we see it working for the competitor
