What if you could snap your fingers and become a big-time movie producer?
What if you could invest — and profit — alongside the film company that:
- Created hits like “Wall Street” and “American Psycho”?
- Launched the careers of major directors like Brian DePalma and Oliver Stone?
- Attracted actors like Meryl Streep, Michael Douglas, and Jack Nicholson?
Now you can — and today, I’ll show you how.
An Award-Winning Production Company
Pressman Film is an independent-production company with a golden pedigree:
Over forty-plus years, it’s produced more than 100 films, including blockbusters like “Wall Street,” “American Psycho,” and “The Crow.”
It’s also launched the careers of filmmakers including Oliver Stone (a three-time Academy-Award winner whose work includes “Scarface” and “Platoon”) and Brian DePalma (whose hits include “The Untouchables” and “Mission: Impossible”).
It’s even created some of the biggest stars of Hollywood — from Al Pacino and Meryl Streep to Nicolas Cage, Rob Lowe, Jack Nicholson, Christian Bale, and Reese Witherspoon.
To date, Pressman has created more than two billion dollars in box-office value. And its talent has earned more than thirty Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe, and Spirit Awards nominations.
The company was started by the late Edward Pressman, who produced many of the films mentioned above. Today, his son Sam is running the show.
And now he’s inviting investors like you to join him…
Your Chance to Be a Hollywood Big Shot
Pressman is inviting you to invest in its new “slate” — in other words, a portfolio of six to ten new movies that it’s planning to develop — and then share in any returns.
The minimum investment is $200.
If a film enters production, investors will recoup their investment in that film, plus a twenty-percent premium. As an example, if Pressman invested $100,000 into developing “Film 1,” investors would get back $120,000 within three months of the start of production.
After filming is done, investors receive fifteen percent of Pressman’s producer fee, and fifteen percent of any rights fees attached to the project.
Producer fees are generally around five percent of a total production budget. So if the budget is ten million dollars, the producing fee might be $500,000, of which investors would split fifteen percent, or $75,000.
A rights fee is typically two-and-a-half percent of the total production budget. Using the same ten-million-dollar budget, that fee would be $250,000, of which investors would split fifteen percent, or $37,500.
Finally, investors receive 100% of Pressman’s net profit share in all of the portfolio’s films until they’ve earned their money back plus eight-percent compounded interest. So if you invested $1,000, you’d receive 100% of the net profits until you banked $1,166 (your $1,000 principal plus an eight-percent return).
Pressman only makes money from these net profits after you’ve been paid back in full and earned your preferred return. After that, investors will receive twenty-five percent of Pressman’s net profits.
This is an exciting opportunity. But hold on a minute…
Before You Jump In…
Sure, being in the movie business might sound “sexy,” but beyond that, there are many pros and cons to consider. Here are a few of the pros:
- Since you’re investing in a slate of films, this is similar to a venture-fund for movies. This is a lower-risk way to invest in the film industry than funding an individual project. You’re not betting it all on black.
- Pressman’s advisors include Oliver Stone; Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of major video-game company Take-Two Interactive (TTWO); and Jason Blum, who Bloomberg News praised for making “blockbusters for pennies.” For example, Blum produced the horror film “Paranormal Activity,” which cost $15,000 to make and grossed nearly $200 million.
- With opportunities to earn your share of production fees, rights fees, and box-office earnings, your overall returns could potentially be significant.
On the flipside, here are a few risks to consider:
- Just ten percent of the 500+ movies released or scheduled between 2022 and 2026 came from a development slate like Pressman’s.
- Pressman is under new leadership. While Sam likely learned a great deal from his father, there are no guarantees that he can lead the company to similar success.
- This is not a liquid investment. It’s not expected that there will be opportunities to redeem your shares for cash if you need the money for rent or groceries.
