Investing in Films

Film financing is evolving and moving to another level. We lead the way in the UK by giving our members some of the best sourced and researched material on forthcoming projects that allows them the opportunity to invest in the British film industry directly through each production company at a level suitable for themselves.

We provide exclusive access to top grade independent film projects and producers.

With the help of our industry expert affiliates, we identify some of the most exciting and commercially viable independent film projects to come from the UK but also have a global appeal.

Our own commercial assessment, along with our partners' inside knowledge and vast film industry experience allows us to create a formula in hand picking a selection of lucrative projects for ourselves. These projects/films are available for our members to consider as investment opportunities if they should wish to view the information.

Templeheart Films does not come between the investor and producer. Once a member has chosen a project they are interested in, from the research and information made available, they have direct communication with the production company. We only partner production companies that provide a detailed information memorandum and complete transparency between themselves and their investors. It could not be simpler.

Before we choose any film for ourselves to be associated with, we cover as many variables as possible in terms of commercial viability. This includes budget, casting, storyline, crew, genre success, current cinematic trends and many more variables too numerous to mention.

We are searching and identifying some of the best independent films to come from the UK for ourselves. All our members have to do is access the information we have already gathered and decide for themselves if they would like to participate in the financing that each film makes available. Choose a project and we will put you in direct contact with the producer.

Should any member wish to contribute to the finance of any film we have gathered information on, it is usual to expect a prospectus from the producer and/or information memorandum detailing the full terms of conditions of contribution as well as exactly how each individual contributor can expect to receive returns on that contribution.

It is common practice for producers to split their profit with investors 60/40 and sometimes even 50/50 and for investors to receive first payout on full recoupment of the film’s initial capitalization.

Earnings from film profits are normally available for many years after a film is released. A film will usually earn in several forms including cinema box office sales, DVD sales, internet sales, cruise liner and aviation sales and television rights sales both terrestrial and extra.

The potential for spin off rights and sequels are also available, making a successful film one of the most lucrative investments in the world. We only work with production companies that supply the following benefits to ourselves and other investors:

• The honour of an opening and end credit in the film (sometimes as ‘Executive Producer’)

• Tickets to the premiere of the film

• Invitations to be extras on one of the filming days on set

• Invitations to Award Ceremonies when the film is nominated including the BAFTAs and even the OSCARS!

• Signed photos and DVD copies from the stars of the film once filming is complete
