Company Launches Global Consulting For Tax Credit Investors, A-list filmmakers, Private Equity

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 21, 2008 – Noci Pictures Entertainment, a Los Angeles and Chicago based film finance and production company headed by Yuri Rutman has launched a one-stop global film finance and production service consulting division aimed at increasing the international production of quality films that are aimed at finance, tax, and entertainment industry professionals who need more guidance in structuring film finance and film investments.

Many sophisticated financiers including hedge funds, ultra high net worth investors, tax credit buyers, purchaser representatives, family offices, and private equity firms may have the capital to finance films, but don't have progressive leadership and guidance in structuring film investment transactions that emphasize risk minimization over undeducated Vegas-style gambles.

And for many established filmmakers and agencies involved in independent film finance and packaging, they face the same dilemma of throwing multiple film projects against the wall and hoping one will stick with a limited number of studios and private equity. Off course, this approach has a limited success rate which leaves many frustrated A-list filmmakers, actors, and producers wondering

With a plethora of incentives ranging from United States and Canadian regional and federal tax incentives that in some instances can be monetized upfront to cover a portion of a budget and offset risk to private equity investors, to overseas co-production incentives that can be maximized to finance quality films, Noci Pictures Entertainment can be a one stop resource, including arranging debt finance, foreign sales agency representation, talent packaging, and more.

Many countries such as Canada, UK, Ireland, South Africa, Germany, Australia, And New Zealand have film finance incentives that can be accessed to finance any number of film projects.

"If you are a verifiable private equity investor or representative and would like to inquire how our progressive risk minimization structure can enhance your long-term alternative investment asset class objectives, we can guide and educate you", states Rutman.

"If you are a film producer, A-list actor or director, or you are part of an agency's film finance division and need to outsource your film finance objectives so you are not playing lotto on behalf of your clients and your own bottom line , we have a specific infrastructure that can lead to long term synergies."

The evolution of the company's consulting practice was identifying a large gap between frustrated A- list actors and filmmakers who can't get their movies made, the company's own in-house finance, production, and international sales services, and,  large scale global private equity investors as well as smaller Angel Investors who don't want to use fantastical "Monte Carlo Simulation Models", but rather sophisticated structured finance risk minimization strategies and tax incentives.
