Hi , We often get asked if our Tools & Templates Include the Film Recoupment Revenue Distribution Waterfall? The answer is YES! We use a simple revenue
recoupment model in our actual Business Plan Template. We also offer three other options for the Distribution Waterfall in our Film Financing Manual, along with
this visual chart showing how a $30M film recoups its money down to the net profit producer's pool (thank you, Producer's Guild)! We highlight hurdle rates, producer's net profit, deferred talent agreements, profit participation and more. One of the waterfalls is also included in our PPM
template, with all the legal-eze you need. You can choose one of our four scenarios, or combine them, for how you plan to payback your investors customized to your specific project. Of course, you should always work with an attorney on finalizing these details. You know who consistently buys our Film Financing PPM? Attorneys! Not once has anyone asked for a refund. They know what a great value it is and they buy it, use it and charge their clients $10s of $1000s for revising it rather than create it from scratch. What is the Film Distribution Waterfall? One of THE most important things your investors (and talent) need to know, is how, when and how much they will be paid back? The waterfall
(also known as a recoupment schedule), describes how and when a film’s proceeds are distributed among all investors and talent, in what order and priority. Obviously, the earlier in the waterfall, the larger the pie for distribution. If you encourage your talent to work off deferred agreements, then of course, they want to know when and how they will be paid. Investors want to know when they get their money returned and also
when they may make a profit (ROI), which are often two different times in the revenue cycle.

"I'm almost fully funded for my feature film this summer! The resources you and your team have provided were essential in getting this thing made. I could not have done this without you."
- Chris "So far the Film Proposal Platinum Package has been fantastic. For a first time producer this toolkit has guided me on a great starting point and has really energized my writer/director into taking this move to get his film made very seriously. The legal document templates have already paid off by getting the option contract done without having to pay for an
attorney review. Looking forward to using the rest of the toolkit as we prepare our investor financials, budget, and sales projection documents. Using the toolkit we are halfway done with our business plan saving us months of work. "
- Robert "Best Thing Ever Created!! With no business info given in film school, this course is an eye-opening godsend! The biggest issue is
figuring out what to send high net worth individuals to get them interested in investing in your film and this kit practically gives you everything needed to do that."
- Alisha M
"Best money I ever spent! I'm now sending out my completed business plan/film proposal document to potential investors and the one comment I'm getting back almost immediately is that it's so well laid out and professional. Believe me, first
impressions really do count. When someone sees that you take your business seriously, they're much more likely to take you and your projects seriously."
- Kathleen
"Incredible information. An absolute gold mine for the independent filmmaker. Do yourself a big favor and order today!!!"
