FUNDS INVESTMENT MODEL
The Fund’s is structured to finance a slate of four feature films with up to 100% equity investment on select projects. Productions will be paced strategically at two films per year, ensuring consistent activity and a steady pipeline of potential returns. The aggregate slate budget is projected at approximately $30million.
By design, the slate approach offers built-in diversification-spreading risk across multiple films, genres, and release windows rather than relying on the performance of a single project. At the same time, the Fund maximizes capital efficiency by leveraging its equity contributions with a mix of co-financing partnerships, debt financing, and production incentives. This disciplined structure significantly reduces downside exposures while preserving meaningful upside potential.
In addition, by maintaining flexibility between full equity financing and co-financed productions, the Fund is positioned to capture outsized returns when opportunities align while mitigating risk through shared investment models. Coupled with the global demand for high-quality moderately budgeted content, this strategy ensures the Fund is well- positioned to deliver both creative impact and competitive financial performance.
REVENUES & RECOUPMENT
Revenues generated from each film serve as the Funds primary income stream. Net revenues are distributed in direct proportion to the Funds equity investment relative to the total production cost of each project. This ensures that the Fund participates fully in the cash flow generated after repayment of production, marketing, and other related expenses. Profitability is tied to the overall performance of each film across theatrical release and ancillary revenue streams, including streaming, international sales, merchandise and licensing.
To further enhance investor protection and accelerate recoupment, MMG will strategically leverage multiple tax incentives-such as location-based credits-and take advantage of immediate depreciation of invested capital under (“Section 181”) where applicable. These measures provide additional layers of return potential, mitigate downside risk, and maximize the Fund’s opportunity for early recovery of principal investment.
STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
NON-CORRELATED ASSET CLASS
Box office revenues continue to grow even during market drops and slowdowns and are not correlated with stocks, which minimizes risk against the volatility of the capital market.
NON-CORRELATED ASSET CLASS
With the number of movie screens and online distribution platforms increasing, demand for new, quality content also increases. As the major studios are focusing on making fewer, more expensive “tent-pole” films which regularly exceed $100 million in costs, and with the explosion of original series on streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu and the like, a supply gap emerges in the mid-budget film space. Studios, independent distributorsand online platforms alike look to the acquisition of independent films to fill this gap.
