Description:
10-50 artists, 7 cinematographers, 12 production crew, 3 VFX houses, two screenwriters and 4 concept artists. We specialize in the pre-production development of feature films. Right now we have one sci-fi pilot in post production requiring finishing funds. Then we have four horror scripts with concept art awaiting consideration for production. We would like to acquire a 4-picture deal that allows us to pay for the work of 50 to 90 artist over the course of two years.
Our company has spent the last five years developing solid scripts and treatments for investor reviewal. We are now at a stage where we are interested in squirting the means to hire and employ artists to produce these projects on a low budget level. Spending only 500k or 2mil per startup project. We do have three scripts that require a 8 mil investment due to location costs, but we are more interested in start with a smaller budget so as to ensure a strong return on investment.
Our company works with artists and VFX production companies who have worked on The Return of King, King Kong, Harry Potter, Iron Man, Wonderwoman, Twin Peaks, as compositors and 3d artists.
