The truth however, is more mundane. Making films is about making profits, and it is a hard-edged business. To make it work successfully, the people who make films need to understand how the finances work and the people who invest in films need to understand how the business of film operates.

INVESTING IN FILMS SEMINAR
The Investing In Films seminar is designed to unravel the mysteries of how films are financed by looking at:

• what tax structures can be used
• what the current tax breaks are for UK film investors
• what the profit potential and loss pitfalls are
• what makes a film a 'British Film'
• some other non UK funding opportunities
• and what are co-productions?

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Who would benefit from the Investing In Films seminar? Principally anyone involved in:

• producing or making a film
• financiers involved in film financing
• advisers with clients that might invest in films
• bankers who might be involved or have clients involved in film schemes or productions
• lawyers and accountants who have dealings with films or have clients involved in the film industry

HOW THIS SEMINAR WILL HELP
On one hand, film producers and those seeking finance need to know what it is film investors are looking for. On the other, film investors and their advisers need to be aware of the potential pitfalls of some of the schemes available.

Although most film funding opportunities for individual investors tend to be film partnership arrangements, no two schemes are exactly the same.

The Investing In Films seminar will explain how the current film partnership tax scheme operates, discuss the potential advantages and pitfalls in film funding arrangements and, most importantly, expose the risks for investors.

The opportunity to network with other key local film industry attendees will also be presented.
