Middle-Market Inefficiencies, Solved

Many film and television productions fall into a financing gap.

Large studios and major productions typically receive traditional financing. Smaller projects often rely on private investors. But many independent productions fall between those two sources of capital.

Projects with budgets between $5 million and $50 million often struggle to secure reliable financing even when tax incentives, pre-sales, or distribution agreements are already in place.

Your project may be viable. The capital simply needs to be structured correctly.

Film financing solutions are designed to bridge that gap by structuring capital around the revenue sources and collateral within your production.

Film Financing Solutions

Flexible financing structures designed to support production budgets, bridge capital gaps, and improve production cash flow.

Gap Financing

Close the difference between committed financing and the total production budget.

  • Structured against pre-sales and distribution agreements
  • Completes the production capital stack
  • Supports independent productions with partial financing in place

Tax Credit Financing

Access capital against state or international film tax incentives.

  • Bridge production tax credits before monetization
  • Improve production cash flow during filming
  • Reduce reliance on equity investors

Pre-Sale Financing

Convert distribution agreements into production capital.

Pre-sale financing allows you to access capital based on contracted distribution agreements, whether domestic or international, helping you fund production before revenue is received.

  • Structured against distribution contracts and licensing agreements
  • Enables earlier access to committed revenue
  • Helps complete the production financing stack

Past Productions

Film financing solutions have supported a range of independent productions across multiple genres and distribution platforms.
