12th Floor Film
is an investment fund that focuses on production and distribution
of independent films through an innovative and focused
strategy that mitigates the risks associated with the film
industry. The Fund’s strategy to mitigate risk is
to procure distribution agreements through established
relationships as a condition to the Fund’s commitment
of capital for film production.
This strategy is intended
to:
- protect downside risk by establishing
distribution agreements before commitment of capital,
and
- preserve upside returns by
sharing distribution expenses in order to control distribution
costs and
improve the potential
for net profits, or
- capture investor return and
reduce risk by selling distribution rights for guaranteed
payments from distributors.
The Fund is managed by a seasoned
and diversified group
of film and investment professionals including
Temple Fennell, Johnathan Dorfman and James Wheat. 12th
Floor Film Fund
is
closely affiliated with ATO Pictures as part of
the
several companies associated with the Dave Matthews organization.
