Investing in a feature length film has traditionally been in the high risk / high reward category. Typically investors sunk millions into a film hoping to win the film lottery with a big blockbuster. Unfortunately, using that method is about as successful as buying a real lottery ticket.  Keeping intact established, realistic film production methods, coupled with cautious money and risk management procedures, we can greatly reduce risks.

In a business filled with conflicting opinions which so often cause investors to make their investment decisions based on emotions rather then logic, Ovation’s mission has always been to educate our clients, teaching them that true wealth-building strategies are based not on luck or brilliance but rather on common sense and discipline.

Filmmakers need help on several fronts, going to pre-market the movie, position it for festivals, work with the press, work with the festivals for the best slotting possible, come up with a strategy for launching the film, deal with the buyers and, ultimately, negotiate whatever deals come along.  With these deals comes the need for experts who can crunch numbers and negotiate their complex terms.  Through Ovation’s access to an extensive network of industry executives, we bring value beyond capital resources.
