THE EDGE FILMWORKS

Through a combination of private equity, public financing and extensive state tax credits, especially available in Florida, Georgia and Louisiana, The Edge Filmworks shall work to secure production equity on a film-by-film basis.

The Edge Filmworks has already developed in-house a number of highly marketable film projects in the form of completed screenplays and continues to work via pre-production avenues toward the successful acquisition of the full production equity necessary to initiate principal photography in the appropriate southeastern locations within Florida, Georgia or Louisiana.

The Edge Filmworks intends on maximizing value and extending production resources by capitalizing on the most effective or generous tax incentives available throughout the Southern U.S., developing feature length theatrical motion pictures in the budgetary bracket that historically has shown the greatest "Return On Investment" ~ those with final budgets of $250,000 to five million in total. Further, the vast majority of approved projects will likely fall in the $250,000 to one million dollar range, as those have historically proven to be both the safest and most successful.

Principals of The Edge Filmworks assisted in raising money for Cease Fire with Don Johnson. And as an example, that production’s distribution channel returned sales numbers in excess of 10 times more than the film’s original "negative cost". Such sales return percentages are never fully assured despite all potential planning, safeguards or other protective measures. However, the key formula does hinge on three key elements: the quality and marketability of the initial film concept and script, the experience and background of the production personnel and external factors like financing/funding and budgetary impacts related to location, tax incentives, etc.

Principals within The Edge Filmworks have long-standing relationships with key personnel in the film industry who have developed and produced many motion pictures filmed in these three southeastern states and elsewhere.

We welcome inquires from qualified and suitable investors interested in the opportunity to participate in the development and production of such feature film projects. Further, The Edge Filmworks welcomes the opportunity to partner with like-minded film production companies, lenders and distributors.

For us, this is a bottom-line business. We seek to craft and create quality projects, but we will never risk financial success while doing so.

Each of the film projects that we currently have in development are designed to be produced within carefully defined parameters, set and established based on prior highly successful low-budget productions.

Each such film project is designed to recover its negative costs quickly through predictable distribution pathways and thus also designed to protect the initial production investment while still offering the upside potential open to such projects if properly marketed to the correct "viewer target" both domestically and internationally.

Theatrical films like Rocky, Napoleon Dynamite, Pulp Fiction, Nightmare on Elm Street, Sex, Lies and Videotape, Cease Fire, Friday the 13th, Porky’s and Halloween are all examples of highly successful motion pictures that were initiated with final budgets of $5 million or under.

The Edge Filmworks is primarily interested in Results, especially financial success in terms of Return On Investment.
