Welcome to Wintree Studios
Mission Statement
To make good movies that people want to see.
The Company is targeting three corporate goals to grow the business:
Acquire existing developed motion pictures/films unreleased and ready for distribution.
Wintree seeks to acquire existing films that are already completed and are available. In some cases, additional investment maybe required to bring to completion. The Company will outsource its’ films and animation productions to other studios in both domestic and foreign countries.
Generally, the main reason why good, quality motion pictures are not distributed is that the production of a motion picture requires money and creativity, and marketing a motion picture requires an entirely different set of skills. We estimate that there are in excess of 10,000 such motion pictures "gathering dust." The Company will engage film acquisition agents/brokers and industry contacts in this endeavor.
Our business strategy is to purchase outright or license existing “entertainment properties” (e.g.,book rights, screenplays, scripts, etc.) with theater potential that have had some prior level of financial investment in the development stage before we acquired the entertainment property and where the initial owner or development team decided to stop development for financial or other reasons after making a substantial investment in development. This strategy will allow the Company to reduce our initial cash outlay when acquiring intellectual properties, allows us to allocate additional funds in moving the entertainment property up the film distribution chain and reduces our financial risks.
Produce new films in the target genres.
Wintree will specializes in the lower to mid-budgeted productions where more than 100% of the budget can be collateralized by a film's IP, unsold licensing sales projections, pre-sold to licensing content buyers, incentive agreements, tax rebates, and grants by utilizing these assets to limit risk and guarantee greater profitability. There also have been and continue to be substantial tax incentives for motion picture production in many States and international markets, so that many producers do not need to depend on total film cost financing from investors for their projects.
We expect to do most of our domestic production outside Hollywood where cost are substantially less and my also include foreign countries. The Company will employ known sales agents to market these films to both domestic and foreign markets.
The longest time for our movies that we will acquire or produce will be no more than 2-hours, and 90-minutes for children’s and comedy movies, all with broad-market appeal.
Look to scale by acquiring similar independent studios.
Wintree looks to acquire smaller studios where the Principals are looking for an exit or joint venture.
