OUR FIRST SEQUEL
The Musical
SYNOPSIS
A jilted musical theater 'genius' exacts revenge on his ex by using their tween students to mount the most inappropriate play imaginable.
DIRECTED BY
Giselle Bonilla
STARRING
Rob Lowe
Gillian Jacobs
Will Brill
About a year ago, one of our favorite filmmakers brought us a project called The Musical.
She found great partners with the producers of Didi (which won Sundance and sold to Focus Features in a competitive sale) and wrapped the movie this summer.
But they needed our help rounding out the financing. We went through the traditional channels we've gone down a million times (legacy buyers, banks, debt financiers...) and found the system more broken than ever.
So we're trying something new.

Current Landscape
HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY
Traditional financing methods like studio investment, bank loans, and private equity are highly competitive and often inaccessible to filmmakers without established industry connections or a proven track record.
COMPLEXITY AND RISK
Film financing often mixes debt, equity, and soft money, with financing on spec the riskiest path. Filmmakers must navigate opaque revenue models where multiple stakeholders take their share.
CROWDFUNDING INEFFICIENCY
Film & Video is #4 by total dollars pledged on Kickstarter ($606.6M) yet it has the most unsuccessfully funded campaigns (55,548).

Funding based on talent, merit of ideas, and community conviction. Knocking down walls and empowering filmmakers whether its their first or fortieth film.
TRANSPARENT, SIMPLE FUNDING PROCESS
