JUGULAR
Slit Jugular Productions pending and LLC is a company to be
formed to finance and arrange for the ongoing production and commercial
exploitation of motion pictures in the genre of Horror. The estimated
budget of this film will be $50,000 US Dollars. In these times of
escalating film budgets and reduced shelf and theater space for feature
films, a new business model must be created and executed. In the current
world film market the most reliably profitable film projects are those
with budgets under $100,000 or well over $10,000,000 US Dollars. The
larger films have the vast financial resources and studio relationships to
ensure a profitable return, and the smaller films have massive profit
margins due to the low cost of creating them. The proposed film, JUGULAR,
will take six months from concept to finished product, with an additional
two to four months before revenue begins to flow from the project. Slit
Jugular has put together a professional production team and has key
relationships with filmmakers and talent.
Film Fund: Estimated $50,000 US Dollars
Minimum Investment Sought once an LLC is formed: $5,000
INVESTMENT AND PROFITS
Through the exploitation of the Film, it is the objective of the
Company that the Investment will realize:
1. Investors will receive 100% of all revenues achieved by the film
until such time as the Investors have realized 100% return on
investment.
2. Upon realization of the 100% ROI all further revenues will be
divided evenly between the Investors and the Production Company evenly
of all revenues in perpetuity.
Net revenues are expected to be roughly $60,000 according to the
conservative minimums. Each title is expected to move a “conservative”
minimum 10,000 units within a 1 – 3 year period, with target sales being
closer to 20,000 units. Most sales will occur within the first year, with
sales gradually shrinking over time.
DVD and Blu-Ray sales: Average net profit is roughly $6.00 per
unit, with a slight variation within $0.50 to $1.00 depending on where the
film is sold (i.e. online retail or offline direct to consumer).
International sales: Net revenue estimates for the film is roughly
$50,000 to $100,000 depending on conditions of the market on a quarter to
quarter basis and current world events and economic conditions. Revenues
are expected to be on the high end of the projection due to the
recognizable genre elements, high production values, and intense horror
action present within the film.
Broadcast sales: Net revenues for Free TV, Pay TV, and Pay-Per-View
are expected to be in the range of $10,000 to $50,000. However, it should
be noted that these deals are often difficult to achieve for independent
films, though because these projects will have high values for “genre”
films, the chances are dramatically better than the average independent
film.
Video-on-Demand sales: Net revenues for VOD, streaming mobile,
kiosk sales, and download-to-own is estimated at roughly $30,000 to
$50,000. This will be achieved mostly through strong placement with global
VOD companies like iTunes, CinemaNow, Movielink, and others, in addition
to cable VOD providers such as Warner VOD and Comcast.
These numbers do not include the revenue boost that will occur in the
DVD and VOD mediums should a film project become a “hot item” due to
celebrity attachments, positive shifts in the fanbase, or a particularly
successful marketing campaign.
OUR FILM PROJECT

Horror
On her eighteenth birthday Brandy and her friends celebrate at an
abandoned warehouse until Brandy’s long lost serial killer brother
decides to crash the party.
Frank, orphaned when he was ten, has spent the last fifteen years hunting
human prey at carnivals and concerts where he can blend in wearing his
dead step-father’s retro 80s rocker clothes. He has worn the same
clothes since the day he saw his step-father kill his mother and then kill
himself. When Frank’s younger sister Brandy and several of her friends
party at an abandoned warehouse, Frank decides it’s time for a little
family reunion. As copious amounts of drugs and alcohol take hold of
Brandy and her party guest’s minds, Frank begins his killing spree until
it’s just he and his little sister together again.
It’s going to be one killer reunion.
