— Three ways to work with me

Invest · Produce in BC · License

Invest in the program Four elevated genre films, one template, a government-backed floor. Investors get paid back first, ahead of my fee. The investor case Bring your film to BC Service production or co-production in British Columbia, with the tax credit engineered from the first budget draft. Production services License the films Two released films, a folk-horror with an Oscar-nominated lead attached, more in development. See the films

The work

I make films that work as films first. The shift in perspective happens underneath. By the time you notice it, you've already taken it home.

Each film runs like its own small company. Investors sit in first position. Their money comes back before anyone on the film sees back end. The whole order is on the table before they wire, along with the real cash flow after delivery.

Tools will keep changing. My taste and mission won't. Building an independent studio with a steady pipeline. Each film is commercial enough to fund the next, meaningful enough to be worth making.

— For investors

Film, treated as an alternative asset

If you allocate to early-stage startups or alt-assets, independent film sits in the same risk bracket with a higher floor. The current raise is a program, not a single film: four elevated genre titles on one template, each floored by refundable Canadian tax credits. The economics are on the table before you wire.

Half of a film’s cash budget typically returns via refundable Canadian tax credits, before a ticket is sold

4 films the same financing structure on all four, so one miss doesn’t sink the position

First position investors recoup ahead of producer fees
