Traditional methods of filmmaking are slowly being choked to out of existence. The major studios are slashing productions and budgets (at least for everything except the highest profile projects), streaming services are radically reducing their slates, and international film incentives now outpace anything offered in the USA.


Film investors are a lot more cautious as well. With many releases only spending a cursory amount of time in theaters before hitting streaming services, the odds of making a blockbuster are much smaller, and potential film financeers recognize that the risk of losing their entire investment in any production is high. Actors, directors, producers, crew, screenwriters - they are all feeling the financial squeeze.


FilmCabbage, and its parent company FundingNet, make it possible to reinvigorate your productions by offering filmmakers an alternative financing model, one that virtually eliminates their risk. Our "Multiples Program" allows filmmakers to double, triple, even quadruple the amount of money they have already raised, and we assume all risk in the production. If you have raised a minimum of $3M USD, our programs allow you to place those funds in escrow with a highly reputable trust attorney (all of the trust attorneys we use are easily vetted to confirm their reputation and legitimacy), where they will remain safely on the sidelines and at no risk in the production. In the meantime, we lend the production 2X to 4X that escrowed amount in order to fully finance their project to completion.


If the production fails to generate sufficient revenue to repay the loan, only FilmCabbage's loan funds are at risk. No matter what happens with the project, the escrowed funds are returned to their account of origin when the production is completed and the loan settled (even when it cannot be fully repaid). As a result, you (or your investor) are not reliant on the success of the project to be certain their funds cannot be lost in a failed production.


This model will work for single productions all the way up to large multi-project slates.


If you have raised $3M to $9.9M USD, we can lend you up to 2X the amount you have raised.

If you've raised $10M to $99M USD, we can lend you up to 3X your initial amount.

Should you have raised $100M or more, we can lend you 4X the amount already raised.

In June 2023, FundingNet's programs were presented to a number of select clients and associates of our agent company, TMI and Partners in New York. These presentations were made at the offices of Mitchell and Titus in the Manhattan financial district. Mitchell and Titus is the largest minority owned/operated accounting firm in the United States.


Across two days of presentations these TMI clients/associates learned the nuts and bolts of how the FundingNet Multiples Program works, as well some background details of how we partner with our banks and Bonding affiliates to provide our low cost loans to clients with minimal/no risk. The FundingNet Loan Sponsor Program was also presented in detail.


Please view the linked video below to hear what some of the presentation attendees had to say about FundingNet's programs.



 

In July 2023, FundingNet extended an invitation to TMI and Partners of NYC to become a direct representative/agent of the FundingNet programs. TMI and Partners is a proud minority-owned company, bringing business and marketing solutions to other minority owned businesses across North America. Operating as a 3rd party broker of FundingNet's programs since 2018, TMI's fierce devotion to our programs, as well as their persistent efforts to drive additional funding resources to their clients, have made them an ideal organization to partner with.


One of TMI's business partners is Heart and Soul magazine, headquartered in the Washington DC area. Heart and Soul extended an invitation for TMI and FundingNet to participate with them in the 2023 Congressional Black Caucus (September 20-24), an invitation that was gladly accepted. The Congressional Black Caucus is an annual event made up of (mostly) African-American members of the United States Congress and Senate, and attended by tens of thousands of business owners, as well as foreign and domestic governmental dignitaries. The awards ceremony on the evening of September 23rd featured speeches by both USVP Kamala Harris and US President Joe Biden.

Throughout the event, Heart and Soul magazine and TMI and Partners presented FundingNet's Multiples and Loan Sponsor Programs to qualified attendees, including a number of financial officers of governments, as well as business owner attendees. FundingNet VP Cliff Endicott was present to answer the more complex questions, and have high level discussions with those interested in utilizing the FundingNet programs.


FundingNet was extremely proud to have been invited to participate in this event, and we thank our new agent TMI and Partners, as well as their associates at Heart and Soul magazine, for welcoming us to this celebration of business and community.
