Description:
Rare Breed Entertainment was formed to create projects that challenge convention. We are attracted to stories and filmmakers that unflinchingly capture the beautiful and the tragic, favoring profound, substantive narratives over the cookie-cutter formulas that clutter the marketplace. It is our goal to assemble passionate, dedicated artists willing to work together to bring forth uncompromising visions. Our films may be controversial, provocative and occasionally combustible, but we will always strive to maintain their emotional and aesthetic honesty.
Rare Breed boasts a team that has spent the last 10 years working in various aspects of the entertainment industry, including stints in MGM, Universal Pictures and Buena Vista Entertainment. Though our projects are designed to be strikingly original, Rare Breed understands the critical importance of sound fiscal practices in successful filmmaking. Utilizing efficient budgetary models and comprehensive revenue analysis, Rare Breed carefully evaluates the financial potential of each project prior to moving forward with development.
Securing distribution prior to a project’s completion is an essential step in realizing a strong return on investment, and the partners at Rare Breed intend to maximize their strong industry associates to realize this goal. A slate of projects from cooking shows to novel adaptations are already in progress.
