Two Lands Slate

About the offering

OUR MISSION: What I learned living all over the world is that film has the power to connect people regardless of their cultural differences. We want to create original stories focused on our humanity. We see our movies impacting people all over the world with stories that cross all political, cultural, and racial boundaries. Connecting people and showing that we're more similar than we are different. We want to do this through prioritizing fans that are essential to our success, creative freedom for our artists to create unique films, and prioritizing digital and guerilla marketing to promote our movies. OUR UNIQUE APPROACH: Combining international talent and Hollywood talent to deliver films that stand out creatively and commercially. We offer: Creative Freedom: Greater creative control, resulting in original content. Expert Leadership: Led by an entrepreneur with expertise in bootstrapping and marketing for indie success. As well as a combined 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry. Risk Diversification: Investing in a development slate spreads risk across multiple films, akin to venture capital practices. Shared Ownership: Cast and crew receive ownership percentages, aligning interests and minimizing initial wages. Budget Management: Focusing on indie budget films ($500k to $5 million) increasing the likelihood of returns. International Co-Productions: Since I am a dual citizen, a citizen of both the U.S. and Belgium, I have access to grants in Europe. We also have contacts in countries with grants that range from $200k-$700k. These grants don't have to be repaid. (Example: right now we have applied to a grant in Macedonia that gives a maximum of $700k that is allowed to be used in pre-production, production, and/or post-production.) Direct contact with distributors: Unlike most films we have direct access to distributors as I've worked and sold films for the last few years. This means that we are not giving 15-30% of our revenue to a sales agent. Most filmmakers have both a sales agent and distributor giving away half their revenue. Since we're not using a sales agent we will have more revenue coming in. HOW YOUR INVESTMENT WORKS: Funds are used for script development, production, post-production, and marketing. You share in the profits from all projects, not just one. TWO REVENUE STREAMS FOR INVESTORS: Investors get their initial investment plus 20% 50/50 Net Profit Split: Investors receive 50% of all net profits. Producer Fee Share: Investors also receive 20% of Two Land's producer fees earned from these projects. Example: The amount of the producers fee varies but is generally in the range of 2.5% to 5% of a total production budget. If the production budget of "Film l" is $5,000,000, Two Lands's producing fee might be $150,000 [3% of $5M], of which investors would get $30,000 [20% of $150k]. This is the guaranteed amount that goes back to investors after principal photography. Investors investment will be split evenly into all four projects and will own percentage of the film based on the budget. For example: If you invest $100k, $25k will be invested into each project. If one movie has a budget of $1 million then you will have 2.5%. Net profits will be 50/50 in perpetuity. WHY TWO LANDS?

THE BLACK LIST REVIEW: "...a fantastic premise that is sure to garner attention from industry readers, due to the originality of the concept and overall polished nature of the script when it comes to formatting, character development, dialogue and plot. The characters' voices are full of personality that really allows the audience to connect with them from the get go. The deaths are gruesome and intense, but extremely well-written. There aren't many changes that need to be made... This is a well-written script that definitely works in terms of having potential for the big screen. There's suspense, action, drama, a unique premise, and a very strong female protagonist in Lottie... The story is reminiscent of CHILDREN OF MEN, with a hint of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, in all the best possible ways."
