Hi , 

 

We love when we launch a new service or product and our filmmakers give us great feedback. This is the case with our  Professional Comparable Films service launched last year. Hundreds of filmmakers are completely changing the game of getting to investors quicker, with more confidence and  accuracy. 

 

"Thank you again so much. In no small part because of you, your fine staff, Nash & Associates and your incredible body of templates and instructions I’ve been able to raise over $400,000 dollars so far for the film. I honestly don’t think I would have been able to raise a dime if not for the detailed and professional deck I was able to put together following your guidelines." - Michael

 

We've always received feedback from our filmmakers letting us know how tedious the process of choosing comparable films to use to generate financial projections was. It was boring and tedious,  took forever and often involved paying for a subscription service, like IMDB Pro. Everyone hated it (including us!). 

 

So, we took care of that by creating our very own proprietary database of indie films. Our DB is super affordable and can be purchased 2 ways:

 

For filmmakers who want to do their own financial and investor projections, we just eliminated at least 20 hours of the tedious work of finding comparable indie films to yours. The DB is a custom list of films (over 300 recent films) from the-numbers.com, the industry's most well-known movie statistics folks. Nash Info Services are the the gurus behind the-numbers.com. 

 

The DB was so helpful, we then decided to partner with Nash Info Services to offer next-level financial projections where they do them FOR you. We negotiated a great rate with Nash because you do the work of choosing your films from our proprietary DB. This way, Nash gets a pre-chosen list of 10 films from you, they know they already have all the stats in their database (because you're already choosing from their list) and in less than 2 weeks you have uber-professional and branded financial projections.

 

Once again, you can purchase the projections separately or they can be included with one of our filmmakers bundles, which also includes our Business Plan Template, Investor Pitch Deck, Investor Agreement, the option of your PPM and much more. 

 

The most valuable part of these Done-For-You comparable films reports is you have a third party doing them, which gives you TONS of street cred with your investors. 

 

If you purchase our Gold + Financial Projections Filmmaker Bundle ($599), almost 80% of your Business Plan will already be done for you. It's literally fill-in-the-blanks after that - add your management bios, synopsis of your film, your distribution strategy and target market, and you are done. Anyone else would charge you $4K for this type of work. We offer it for $599 (or $999 if you also want to eliminate $10K in legal fees and use our PPM template). 

Financial Projections FAQs: 
 

1) Is this just for one set of comps, or is it a one or two year service where I could run for my multiple projects as many times as I want?
 

Answer: This is for 1 time comps on 1 film, using 10 films as comparison from our DB, similar to yours in terms of budget of genre. You choose the films from our list of over 300 films, we run the financial analysis and Investor ROI for you. 
 

2) Do you combine your movie sales/projections analysis with the PPM package? 
 

Answer: Yes, everything we offer is included in our  Platinum Filmmaker Bundle. It's a high ticket item, but about $20K cheaper than trying to do it all on your own. 

 

 

Answer: The DB is a list of films with almost all their financial details. You can use it with our Financial Projections Template, allowing you to compare at least 3 comparable films to your film to do your own financial projections. This combo works great. 

The Financial Projections service is done for you by professionals. It includes more detail, more accurate Investor ROI scenarios and has a third party (industry professional) endorsement on the outcomes. 

 

 

There are two Sample Reports attached to this email. You can also view them here: https://courses.filmproposals.com/courses/revenue-projections/contents/5fb4081215ebc. These are the final products you will receive. 

 

Nash Info Services then takes your information and returns the attached two reports to you. This shows you and your investors:

1) Your projected movie revenues

2) How you propose to pay back your investors

3) Low, Medium, High and Breakeven Scenarios

 

This is an essential piece of information you use to show your recoupment plan or distribution waterfall and it is a MUST in any business plan. 

 

You can send these professionally formatted and branded reports to your investors and copy/paste them into your business plan. 

• Investor Scenarios - Returns to investors based on high, medium and low scenarios. Includes Investor Preferred Return and Investor Participation Beyond Preferred Return.
• Domestic & International Analysis - Potential revenue to the production company based on the performance of 10 comparable films domestically and internationally.
• Comparable Films - Detailed financial information on comparison films used in the analysis.
• Two Reports - One PDF report, professionally designed for Film Investor presentation. One editable Excel file with all formulas and assumptions. 

 

 

Nash Info Services normally charges a lot more for these analyses because they spend the extra time working with filmmakers to select their individual movies (and we will likely start offering that service soon). If those movies are not already in their system, they have to research them from scratch. 

 

However, since our filmmakers will already be working with the Indie Film Database, produced with data from the-numbers.com, we know Nash already has those films on file and we can heavily discount the services. 

Any questions? Suggestions? Just hit reply and let me know!
 

 

"Melissa, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing even your lowest priced package. It all sounded to good to be true. I spent 2 months last year writing a business plan from scratch for a different medium. So I just couldn't imagine getting anything worth while for the prices you were offering. But I have an investor that requested a detailed plan with financial projections within 2 weeks, so I pulled the trigger on your Gold + Financials Filmmaker Bundle.
