Project: Film funding, UK, India, USA.
Invest in the film industry.
Key Universal also fund-raise within the British, American and Indian film industries. Offering investment opportunity through impartial advice or via joint ventures with our partners, Key Universal can offer interesting and worthwhile investment packages in this exciting industry.
The titles we concentrate upon are primarily mainstream with diverse, international production teams. At present we have the opportunity to invest in pre-production of a film involving Peter O’Toole, a soon-to-be-confirmed star director and other actors.
So far Key Universal has invested approximately £10 million in funds; partly company investment and partly due to our extensive fundraising efforts.
Investing in the film industry is often tax efficient. For advice on tax exemption, if you would like to know more about our film industry investment packages or just need some advice regarding our offering and how we ‘fund films’, please click here to contact one of our team.
Key Universal look to gain maximum accreditation and support on behalf of their media and film production initiatives, and recommend the following sites and archives of interest for those interested in supporting, investing and gaining more knowledge on work within the film industry…
British Film Institute
The BFI (British Film Institute) ‘promotes understanding and appreciation of Britain's rich film and television heritage and culture’. Established in 1933, the BFI ‘runs a range of services’ and Key Universal wholly supports the BFI and its archives
American Film Institute
AFI is ‘a national institute providing leadership in screen education and the recognition and celebration of excellence in the art of film, television and digital media. AFI trains the next generation of filmmakers at its world-renowned Conservatory, maintains America's film heritage through the AFI Catalog of Feature Films and explores new digital technologies in entertainment and education’
UK Film Council
The UK Film Council is a ‘Government-backed lead agency for film in the UK ensuring that the economic, cultural and educational aspects of film are effectively represented at home and abroad.’ Part of the BFI, the UFC is a valuable resource for British film industry representation and efforts.
National Film Development Corporation
According to their website, the NFDC of India is ‘the central agency established to encourage the good cinema movement in the country. The primary goal of the NFDC is to plan, promote and organize an integrated and efficient development of the Indian film industry and foster excellence in cinema. Over the years NFDC has provided a wide range of services essential to the growth of Indian cinema. The NFDC (and its predecessor the Film Finance Corporation) has so far funded / produced over 300 films. These films, in various Indian languages, have been widely acclaimed and have won many national and international awards.’ Key Universal have many contacts within and in support of the NFDC.
