Description:
The Noir Movie, LLC, a Limited Liability Company, is an independent motion picture production company assembled from creative and business entertainment industry professionals with a common goal of producing the independent film "Noir."
"Noir" is a motion picture budgeted to be produced at $2 million, and for theatrical exhibition in the United States and abroad. The film genre is noir, with attributes of greed, revenge, sex and violence. The Company desires to hire name talent for roles in the picture, thereby adding to the film's commercial value and audience appeal.
In 2010, the U.S. and worldwide box offices grossed $10.6 billion and $31.8 billion, respectively. The independent film market has expanded tremendously in the last few years amounting to worldwide grosses of over $3.4 billion. The success of 1999’s low-budget film, “The Blair Witch Project,” which earned over $200 million in worldwide revenue, revolutionized how studios and distributors look at the production and marketing of independent films.
The strategy of making films in well-established genres has been proven time and again to be a smart and sound choice for production. Traditionally, the fortunes of independent filmmakers have cycled up and down from year to year. More than half of Oscar-winning Best Pictures over the last 30 years have been independent films. The recent success of independent films, such as “The King's Speech,” “The Kids Are All Right,” “The Hurt Locker,” “Slumdog Millionaire,” and others, has ensured the independent segment will continue its upward trend.
The motion picture industry is highly competitive with a significant portion of a film's success relating to the skills of its distributor's marketing Strategy. The Noir Movie, LLC intends to submit the completed film to the most prestigious and successful annual film festivals, Sundance Film Festival (Park City, Utah - January), Toronto International Film Festival (Toronto, Canada - September), and The Cannes Film Festival (Cannes, France – May), and will use best efforts to negotiate with a distributor upon or near completion of principal photography prior to entering any film festival. Self-distribution backed with $4.3 million in P&A will ensure distribution, maximize the Company's bargaining power, and increase the potential profit the film may earn.
The Noir Movie, LLC seeks $6.3 million capital to fund the production, exhibition, and distribution of the feature motion picture "Noir." The Noir Movie, LLC proposes to secure all its moneys from venture capitalists and private investors. Using a conservative, selective revenue projection, and an assumption of general industry distribution agreements, the Company projects gross revenue of approximately $9.4 million with a net producer/investor income of $7.4 million for "Noir."
