FE&D Executive Development Services

Once your script is finalized, we'll go through the Development phase, and all requirements involved throughout the process, including every element needed to create an investor-ready package to raise financing.

Financing is broken up into a variety of categories from private equity, debt, pre-sales (minimum guarantee), and tax credits. We’ll cover each piece of this pie chart in detail along with strategies on when each separate investment pitch can be made.

Your film's package will ultimately define the credibility of your project. Learn effective packaging strategies for key personnel: Casting Director, Talent, Line Producer, Entertainment Attorney, and Creative Director. We’ll also review sample investment decks, lookbooks, budgets, shooting schedules, and more.

Hiring an experienced Line Producer is essential for the Development stage to convey a clear, accurate budget and shooting schedule as part of your investor package. Having a qualified line producer can play a crucial role in establishing the credibility of your project moving forward. 

We’ll shift our focus to the European / Canadian co-production model and how to leverage each country’s incentive program, including tax credits, cash rebates and broadcaster funds, to allow your feature to be financed with only a minimum portion of equity to be raised.

Discover alternative means to distribution through platforms that contain the lowest fees and commissions, allowing you to keep as much of the distribution revenues as possible. Learn how to reduce the need for sales agents and find as many non-exclusive deals as possible throughout foreign markets.
