Investing in Film is one of the best investments you can make, the benefits stretch far beyond the sales of box office tickets. DVD/Blu-Ray sales, television airings, Video on Demand (VOD) subscriptions and the sale of merchandise all count towards the net return a film makes and can continue to generate a net return for a lifetime.
THE FILM INDUSTRY
For Example; the UK film industry is a thriving business with an impressive history; despite the financial crisis the film industry remained strong and continued to make money, while many other industries struggled. Investing in film is a great way to see good returns.
A recent report by the British Film Institute (BFI) showed that the UK film industry is a valuable part of the UK’s creative industries, with a turnover of £7.3 billion and a direct contribution to Gross Domestic Product of £2.9 billion.
The report also showed that In 2013 UK film box office revenues exceeded £1 billion, for the third year in a row, showing just how strong the UK film industry is.
INVESTING IN FILM
Many Independent film companies now offer Film Investment opportunities; this allows the Independent companies to remain independent and in total control of the film, while offering an investment opportunity with a return that can last a lifetime.
Investing in an independent film with a smaller production budget offers the chance to make more net income with less risk than a film with a large budget, where overheads need to be recouped before investors will see a return. A film doesn’t need to be a large success at the box offer in order for an investor to receive a return on their investment, that’s the benefit of investing in independent film.
INVESTMENT BENEFITS
As well as making a return on your investment, there are number of extra benefits which are attached to investing in film such as:
- The investor can have their name in the credits at the end of the film. This is a great way to show your involvement for years to come.
- The chance to be involved with the production of the film. OK, this speaks for itself.
- The chance to meet the cast and crew backstage. STARS/STARS/STARS
- An invitation to attend red carpet events including the film premier. Usually a great party.
- VIP opportunities to attend special events such as The Cannes International Film Festival.
- Sample merchandise
- Tax relief benefits, who could not use this!
It is important to note that the above benefits are subject to the particular film and the amount invested in the project.
INVESTMENT RISKS
As with any financial investment, there is always an element of risk and it is very important that you do not invest what you cannot afford to lose. While it is not possible to guarantee the commercial success of any film project, we want the best for our investors and so we are very selective in the opportunities that we offer.

RICHARD WAYNE STUNTSRICHARD WAYNE STUNTS Men and women who don't mind taking risks and love the thrill of danger may want to consider this as a career choice. No specific certification or degree is required to become a stuntman or stuntwoman. It would be very beneficial to have somewhat of a diversified background in various activities, such as gymnastics, fencing, sky diving, scuba diving, rock climbing, martial arts, dirt bike racing and stage combat to name a few. The most important skills required are physical fitness, stamina, strength and coordination. Stuntmen are the "faceless action heroes" of film and television. They work the scenes of the movies that are risky. They do live action stunts that make all of us action film lovers drool. Imagine dangling from a helicopter, driving a Ferrari in a high speed chase on windy mountain roads, jumping off rooftops, slashing an evil doer with a sword, crashing an 18-wheeler, or falling off a cliff. This is just a day in the life of a stuntman. Not everyone can be a stuntman. Stuntmen are highly trained professional performers who take risks as part of their jobs. Every stunt is executed exactly as planned, practiced, rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed, rehearsed and reviewed. Stunts are designed to be as safe as possible. A beautifully choreographed sequence is amazing to watch but in reality takes days or even weeks to set up. Stuntmen average $70,000 per year. If you’re newer to the industry, you may only make $5,000 per year. It all depends on how much work you manage to find. The highest end stuntmen can make up to $250,000 per year. All it takes is one stunt to make money – the highest paid stunt ever was $150,000 for jumping off the CN Tower in Toronto. That’s about a $15,000 per second. Stuntmen love their jobs. They get to do death defying stunts and get paid for it. So if high speed boat chases, ninja fights in temples, diving with sharks, parachuting into lakes, walking on walls, or climbing a building sound better than staring at a computer screen, you should look at a career as a stuntman.
