Most film investors get involved from the start. They provide the financing to make the movie from scratch. In an industry where only about 5% of movies ever make it to theaters, it can be risky getting involved in the movie business at this stage.
Sycamore Entertainment is not in the business of financing movie production. They provide investors with the opportunity to get involved after the movies already made. Major productions with the backing of Hollywood have distribution networks and advertising money to invest. Small and medium budget independent films don’t. Sycamore steps in to provide that function for these smaller budget movies.
Great Independent and Foreign Films
Sylvan’s company purchases the North American rights to independent and foreign films. These films are already made, but lack the financing needed for print, distribution, and advertising. A group of investors backs their venture with the knowledge that there are billions in potential revenue in this segment of the industry. Sycamore Entertainment looks for films with A-list actors that have the best chance of success.
