INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
We are always looking for Investors to help fund
our slate of films.
There are 2 slates:
Swipe Right Films which has 3
psychological thriller/horrors
Lumino Films that has 3 films and 2 tv
series
Entry level for investment starts at £5,000, for which you gain a percentage of potential profits.
However we are also looking for product
placement so if you have something you would like to advertise that
we can incorporate in our films. This starts at £1,000. Sponsoring
the film allows if you follow certain criteria for you to claim
this expense against tax - more details by
enquiry.
In return for Investment we can offer:
1 A projected 25% return on your investment, but
in some cases much higher - predicted by projected Professional
Sales Estimates (rather like an estate agents valuation but for
film rather than property)
2. Some profile actors, who will always be in
our casts and help to sell the film.
3. We have incentives and can offer internships and assistant crew placement.
4. We can offer a small role subject to suitability.
5. We can offer invitations to red carpet events, festivals, wrap party, lunch with cast members, behind the scenes tours to other television and theatre events, mentoring by various professionals, exclusive theatre tickets, etc etc.
6.Tax incentives: Under the SEIS and EIS scheme run by the UK government you may get 30-50 % allowance back on your investment against tax. Your own Accountants can explain this to you.
BEST CASE SCENARIO – Film is Successful
£5,000 invested
125% return first out plus further percentage of
profits over three years if there are any.
Real Terms:
Return = £8,750
Incentives such as internships for your children
Entry to theatre and film events
Red Carpet Events
Red Carpet at Film Festivals
Meeting Cast and Crew
Observing film on set
WORSE CASE SCENARIO – Film Fails
£5,000 invested
-£2,500 allowance against tax under SEIS(small
box to tick on tax return, HMRC does the calculation for
you)if you are of Higher Net
Worth
If the film fails the remaining £2,500
loss can be claimed against net income the following
year.
So your risk on £5,000 is a potential loss
of say £700 or a potential GAIN including repayment of
initial stakeover 3 years is £8,750.
This is a speculative investment so please seek professional financial advice.
Investing in films involves
risks, including loss of capital, liquidity, lack of dividends and
dilution, and it should be done only as part of a diversified
portfolio. Film Investment is targeted at investors who are
sufficiently sophisticated to understand these risks and make their
own investment decisions. Tax treatment depends on individual
circumstances and may be subject to change in
future.
Please do contact us with your interest:
jsanger@luminofilms.co.uk and we will send a 20 plus page
Investment Memorandum on either company, which will also specify
things like cast, crew, locations returns, risks,
etc.
From time to time we use Crowdfunding to raise amounts for specific
films. This is not the same as investment and is a type of
donation, starting at £5.
Crowdfunding is a democratic way to support the
film industry. You will be credited and thanked on the film
if you give a substantial donation of £500 or more. However each
and every donation is greatly valued.
You can be sure that you have contributed to a
film where we try our best to always cast UNKNOWN ACTORS, YOUNG
STARTING OUT ACTORS, ETHNICALLY DIVERSE ACTORS and CREW, FEMALES as
well as PROFILE ACTORS
Also you can be part of our success and
depending on the level of your donation be invited to premier red
carpet screenings and promotional events where you may meet profile
actors and join in the glamourous side of film
life.
