Business For Sale Listing 74246
Investor for Horror Films Shoot in Brazil & Europe
Status as of Jan-7-2009 at 06:13 PM: Active
Business Summary
I am the head of a film finance and production company that is looking for an active investor or ex-CEO/Founder of company to come out of semi-retirement and/or boredom to finance a few sophisticated horror and independent films to shoot in Brazil, Europe, Isle Of Man, Nova Scotia, and Chicago.
There is ripe window of opportunity for independently financed films as exemplified with the recent success of such films as Napoleon Dynamite (made for $250,000, sold for $5 million, made $50 million at B.O), Garden State, Open Water, Maria Full of Grace, SAW (made for $750,000, made $60 million), Hostel, as well as the phenomenal success of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". The major studios are drying up in terms of producing product in-house and are aggressively looking to buy films made independently.
Further the US Federal Tax Laws have been amended to allow 100% tax deductions on films.
The CEOS and execs of companies such as Fred Smith of FedEx, Norman Waitt of Gateway, former Chicago bulls co-owner Jim Stern, Jeff Skoll of Ebay, Sidney Kimmel of Jones Apparel Group, Minnesota Twins owner Bill Pohlad, Roger Marino of EMC, Marc Turtletaub of The Money Store, Marc Cuban/Todd Wagner, real estate developers Tom Rosenberg, Bob Yari, and numerous private equity firms are all actively financing films.
I am looking to partner up with a similar individual who either recently sold his/her company, exited one with a large severance pay, is perhaps bored, and has always secretly wanted to be in the movie business for tax, vanity, or alternative investment reasons with someone who is ethical and wants to be at the ground floor of long-term company with multiple exit scenarios.
Please be a sincere and a verifiable high net worth investor who can invest in amounts of $1,000,000-$10,000,000+.
Please provide your full contact information including telephone number, name, previous ventures, investment capabilities and ranges, etc.
