  • Ultra-High Net-Worth
  • Private Banks
  • Crypto & Tokenization
FOCUSED ON THE INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION SECTOR WHILE ALSO ALIGNED ON THE STUDIO LEVEL: Exploring opportunities to access smart capital for an SPV or structure a FUND to finance an entire slate, or CREDIT FACILITY for the ambitious.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Anyone looking to access private equity to finance their next feature or TV project, film slate, technology app, P&A, tax Incentives, bridge, M&A, and much more!
Film Industry empowered by the Independent voices, independent producers, and independent production in the U.S and globally!
This summit focuses on unlocking the $12+ Trillion in untapped private equity, ultra-high net worth, and family offices that even the institutions & public and private banks compete to access!
Independent film producers face crucial challenges. Unlike major Hollywood studios, they don't have access to a vast array of resources. In fact, there's a critical gap in Hollywood and the entertainment industry, as a whole.
The Industry needs a new pipeline of disciplined capital and unlimited flow of equity once we de-risk what was once considered a risky asset class, NOW DE-RISKED!
Democratize access to smart capital while empowering independent filmmakers and financiers with real tools, real partners, and real opportunities!
THIS IS OUR MISSION.
