MANAGEMENT NOTE:
Investing in Independent Film
For some financiers, investing in independent filmmaking is hotter than Wall Street. Financial supporters of Bandwagon, a film financed and produced in North Carolina, reportedly doubled their investment in less than two years when the film was sold after a screening at the Sundance Film Festival. These investors will most likely achieve even greater returns after the film hits the screens in the U.S. and is distributed on cable, home video, television and in international markets. This potential is in addition to the inevitable economic development benefits that independent films serve to the communities in which they film. The state of Louisiana credits much of its post Hurricane Katrina reconstruction successes to film industry related income
For investors accustomed to stocks, bonds and mutual funds, the financial gains from films such as Bandwagon seem implausible and, indeed, they are usually not realized without a degree of risk. Although film investment requires a significant tolerance for risk, the potential returns may be enormous. Today’s independent film industry offers individuals a unique opportunity: a chance to become involved with a dynamic industry that involves art, introducing one's self as a player in the entertainment industry, glamour, celebrities and premieres, while at the same time allowing investors the prospect to realize triple-digit returns.
There are numerous examples of successful independent films, including Slingblade, Little Miss Sunshine, Napoleon Dynamite, June Bug, Half Nelson, Rushmore, The Blair Witch Project, Sex, Lies and Videotape, Dirty Dancing and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In fact, some of these films are considered to be among the most financially successful independent films of all time.
People invest in film for various reasons, which often have little to do with money or an investment return. Most people, however, invest in film projects to make money. Therefore, investors in film projects should use the same skills and intuition they use in making decisions on other types of investments
The Particulars
Certain independent films succeed because they revolve around good stories, characters and dialogue. They generally cannot compete with Hollywood special effects films. If the script contains scenes reminiscent of the chariot race in Ben Hur, the battle scenes in Braveheart or anything in Star Wars, move on to the next script. Any film that includes numerous car chases, other time periods or different planets is generally not appropriate for an independent film with a limited budget. If the script moves you, it is likely to move other people. If it makes you laugh, others will laugh too. This is where your intuition comes in.
Understand the business aspects of film financing and production. Generally, independent films are produced through limited partnerships or limited liability companies. In both, the investor's liability is limited to the amount of his investment and he will usually not be responsible for the partnership’s or company’s debts or other obligations. Generally, the producer or his production company will manage the partnership or company and will be responsible for all financial, production and creative decisions. After the investor has contributed his capital, his input will be limited (especially on the creative side).
The manner for returning the investment and calculating profits varies greatly, but follows certain industry standards. These amounts are generally paid from the net revenues derived from all sources of exploitation of the film. After the investors have recouped their investment in full, a revenue-sharing mechanism is activated. This revenue sharing could be structured so that, after recoupment and payment of the premium, the investors and producers share a portion of the net revenues. As mentioned above, there is no set formula.
Most of the pertinent information will be disclosed in the business plan and/or the Financing Agreement as well as any other offering document, and the investor should read the offering thoroughly.
Potential Tax Advantages.
In Indiana, for instance, most production companies can qualify as a Qualified Business. The result is that investors may receive a 20% credit against their Indiana income taxes. So, if an investor puts $10,000 into a production which has qualified as a Qualified Business, the investor may reduce his North Carolina income tax bill by $2,500. This is an added incentive to investing in filmmaking in North Carolina. Filming in Indiana is also Permit free, which allows for substantial production savings on budget line items
Review the budget.
Budgets come in all shapes and sizes. The average Hollywood film today costs between $12 million and $20 million. Most independent films can be produced for significantly less, although some approach the higher Hollywood numbers. Budgets between $500,000 and $5 million are common, and many films are made for several hundred thousand dollars (and even less). The amount of the budget is not as important as what it includes. Keep an eye out for extravagant director’s and producer’s fees, but also keep in mind that these people (who have often written the screenplay) will be working on the project for one or more years. Also, make sure the budget provides for legal counsel, accountants, insurance and a reasonable reserve for contingencies. Film costs generally escalate due to above-the-line numbers--these are costs for major creative elements and personnel, such as the writer, producer, director and principal cast members. Generally, independent film productions can afford only one or two “name” actors.
Determine whether the project has attracted “name” talent. Many independent films are produced with unknown talent, and some of these films are successful. However, in independent filmmaking, the odds are already high enough, and those odds can be improved if a "name" is attached to the picture. Increasingly, many film distributors (i.e., companies who purchase or license films from independent filmmakers) consider the participation of name talent to be a necessity. "Name" talent is anyone who has an established reputation in the business, either on-screen or off-screen, including actors, actresses, writers, directors and producers
Evaluate the production team.
Since the producer and his company are responsible for all production and creative decisions, and the investor's input is limited after his money is invested, the investor must be comfortable with the production team's skills and abilities. Key production team members include the writer, director, producer and director of photography, and sometimes one person will serve more than one function. In independent films, many producers, writers and directors will be first-timers. This is not necessarily bad. Just make sure the rest of the team members, either individually or as a group, have significant experience in their respective roles. The entire team must be able to work together and complement each others' strengths and weaknesses. For example, an accomplished director of photography will often bolster the skills of a first-time director. The investor should also assess the business team working on the project, including the line producer, attorney, accountant and publicist. The offering documents in a film private placement should contain detailed biographical information, called "bios," that describe the team members' relevant industry experience.
Distribution.
Film distribution is the process of selling or licensing the film in various markets (for example, domestic theatrical, foreign theatrical, television, video, etc.), together with advertising and promotion of the film. Many independent films are produced without distribution deals in place because it is very difficult for new filmmakers to attract studio or distributor money or commitments up front. Do not expect distributor commitments in many independent film projects. Do, however, look for letters or relationships that signify an opportunity to market to distributors towards a signed distribution deal upon completion of filming. Sometimes, it is possible to attain intent from a distributor once principle photography has commenced and material can be submitted to companies for review

Synopsis
A teen homage to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Children of the night is a wickedly fun thriller. Drake Goodman, a lonely goth, in his attempts to recruit members for his ‘sleeper cell’, discovers a secret that will perpetuate his kind forever: Mina Merklovsky, a Born-Again Virgin with the power to turn “spoiled” humans back to their virginal state. The clock is ticking as he works against a lethal deadline put upon him by Nigel, the unforgiving leader of the Eternal Legacy of Blood; This, on top of the fact that Mina is having a hard time falling out of love with her recently ex-ed boyfriend, Jonathan Keller, who Drake decides must be taken out of the equation-permanently. His devious plot faces resistance from his top (and only) recruit, Ren Fields, star quarterback for the high school football team; not far behind is Sheriff Mitchell Steer, hell-bent on re-election, who will stop at nothing to find the individual(s) responsible for the recent outbreak of vandalism and missing domesticated animals in this small town. The night culminates at a Halloween house party in which the undead become the unwanted guests of honor and all bets are off as the vampires face the mortals in a bloody melee in which Jonathan, Mina and their friends must do anything they can to make it out alive. Have a happy Halloween…It may be your last.
Synopsis
They were inseparable--- Two sisters are promised jobs in the United States and become victims of a sex trafficking ring in a popular nightclub. The two are torn apart and subject to heinous physical and emotional endangerment. On a ‘job’, one of the sisters witnesses the other being murdered on a snuff tape belonging to a ‘customer’. In a rage, she beats him to death and manages to escape. With nothing left to lose and nowhere to turn, She takes justice into her own hands to avenge her sister’s death by taking out the ring one by one in a journey that leads her back home…where certain people are not what they once seemed
KALAMAZOO DREAMS is based on a novel by John R. Kouris, whose colorful background includes his work as Executive Director of the Defense Research Institute of America and over 20 years as a Big 10 Football Referee. ‘Kalamazoo Dreams’ is about a college freshman barely holding onto his football scholarship under threats from his verbally abusive father while trying to maintain a long distance relationship with his promiscuous girlfriend, inadvertently falling in love for the first time with another girl who belongs to a frat brother with a mean streak-- all the while fear hangs over he and his newfound friends that they may be called to leave their rites of passage early for a baptism by fire on the frontline in the Vietnam War. It is a powerful, touching and often hilarious look at college life in the Midwest during a tumultuous era with themes of friendship, loyalty, love, hate and freedom

Yeah, PINR is the most potent penny stock out there, IMO. I think it will be AT LEAST a ten bagger in the fairly near future. I bought about 8 million shares of PINR and I'm feeling very good about it.

I think that Pinr is going to be a multi bagger myself.Its just a matter of time time before it starts running.As you know its trading at .0005 to .0006 so I bought afew shares myself....not as much as you but I'll be happy. This stock reminds me of another that I bought years ago..it traded in the pinks..in the subs..just as many shares as Pinr has out and it ran to .18 The name of that company was Miracle Entertainment.When I sold out my pockets were full.The difference between that company and this one is...Pinr has alot more going for it in my opinion.This company has solid management and a better business plan.So I think that the up side potential is going to be alot greater.I have to say that now is an opportunity to buy in now before the price moves up in my opinion.

Good Morning...the volume is low.Everyone one is holding on to thier shares and not wanting to sell them.The price per share is also low at this time but not for long in my opinion.It traded the other day at .0004 for over 100 million...it was all accumulation...there was very little selling.You're right not to buy if you don't feel comfortable about it.In my opinion...if you look at the charts...read the boards...the PR's..do some fundamental analysis....I think that you will come to your own conclusion about buying in.This stock is ready to burst here real shortly from the DD that I've done for myself.Good trading to you !!

Yes there is risk associated with these pink sheet stocks.In my opinion all these stocks in the subs are risky.Each of us has to consider our comfort level before buying into stocks like this.If you don't feel comfortable about buying in then you shouldn't ...its your money. Don't let others convince you otherwise. As for myself...I bought in and I think that this stock is about to take off real shortly.
