We want our investors and their advisers to enjoy the whole film experience and have fun. This can include watching the filming and meeting the ‘stars’, going to film premieres, or even having a role as an extra!
Investment Strategy
The entire focus is on creating audience driven films. It is this that drives the commercial success of films. That is why we focus on genres of film that have a strong track record in delivering profits, and also in working with teams that have a global reputation for excellence. It is worth making the point that smaller budget films can often make greater profits than major films, because they are more targeted for specific audiences.
In today’s world we also target the inline market for films, across Netflix, Amazon Prime, In flight films, video on demand and so on. As more opportunities to view grows, so does the demand for films.
Key Services And Funds
There are several options for investors.
We are part of Amersham’s general SEIS & EIS fund called The Amersham Growth Fund, where clients can invest generally across a variety of industries or specifically in the respective Iron Box Film & TV channel. Where clients invest via the channel the investment will be allocated across several Film & TV invest companies, which in turn will spread across the portfolio of films. Investments are SEIS and EIS qualifying.
We have also set up investee companies to look after every stage of the production process to ensure quality and delivery. This allows us to offer a superior product.
Since 2019 we have been working closely with investors, filmmakers and production companies and are launching individual project opportunities (non-tax advantaged) into the market.
