Film Financing Explained: Hybrid Financing

Join us for episode #3 of our financing series hosted by EP’s John Hadity, EVP of the Incentives Group, and his guest, Sandra Schulberg, President of IndieCollect, as they discuss the concept of Hybrid Film Financing.

This session will focus on financing films and documentaries that have a double bottom line — films with a social impact objective that are also intended to reach wide audiences and recoup their costs. Together these experts will explore how to frame your film’s mission to appeal both to foundations and investors, the appropriate legal structures needed to successfully combine equity with non-profit funds, Program-Related Investment (PRI) and how it differs from a grant and a more conventional loan, and whether it makes sense to create your own non-profit production entity or seek a fiscal sponsor.
