Structured Capital Group’s film financing program represents debt and equity elements arranged in a risk free environment through a special purpose vehicle pledged as collateral for a bank credit facility. This will include Domestic and Foreign markets, tax credits and rebates, along with gap and equity commitments which are then monetized and backed by letters of credit or bankable guarantees.
We look at advanced projects from experienced producers with significant attachments (talent, director etc.) and a quality commercial script. We prefer to be involved in film projects geared towards family carrying an MPAA rating of no more than PG-13.
We require a minimum of 15% of the budget to be covered by the borrower in cash collateral or equivalent guarantee in the form of a letter of credit. The investors can expect a significant return depending on their specific role in the transaction. Ultimately, our goal is to reduce the risk exposure with the production and filming of the picture in a tax beneficial state or province. The risk is essentially controlled and the upside can be virtually unlimited, depending on the quality of the film. The risk is spread among all the deal participants and secured by sales, deferred sales, tax benefits, excess risk coverage, leading to significant cost reduction.We plan to keep revenues from Domestic and approximately 50% of revenues from foreign territories to apply as a risk reduction to the investors.
Through alliances and ventures, we are currently involved in various levels of production and distribution and are exploring others with quality groups and organizations to further our capacity and make an indelible mark in the film industry.

I own Azure Film Group based in London and the Channel Islands. We are financing about $100m worth of production this year and we would like to extend our contacts to your group. We would like to look at ways we can partner up and collateralise our films without the use of structured tax products – which we use presently and whilst successful their are linked to the UK Treasury which can change and does so frequently! I would like help purchasing 2 film libraries and with looking at ways we could combine a more wrap around film finance structure to our own films and others. Our films are sold internationally by Hollywood sales agents. I’ am also working with Fortis bank.
I would welcome an exploratory discussion.
