7. Receive return on investment:

If the film achieves success, your investment will yield returns through your stake in the film's profits. This encompasses earnings from theatrical releases, streaming platforms, and other distribution channels. In conjunction with this, our commitment to transparency is further underscored by the initiation of quarterly financial updates. These updates will be implemented once sales commence, furnishing you with a comprehensive breakdown of the film's revenue and profits. This ongoing practice ensures that you remain continuously informed, allowing you to vigilantly track the evolution of your investment. The timeline for each film project remains subject to variation based on its complexity and production prerequisites. Generally, upon receiving the green light, a film project embarks on a sequence of production stages. These stages usually encompass a span of 6 weeks for pre-production, followed by 4 to 6 weeks for principal photography (assuming a 5-day workweek). Subsequently, the film enters a post-production phase spanning 8 to 20 weeks to reach completion. Post the post-production phase, the polished film product is poised to enter the market. It's crucial to note that the timeline for market entry and initial revenue generation can fluctuate due to diverse factors, including distribution strategies, marketing endeavors, and audience reception. As a rough estimate, we anticipate that the film will penetrate the market and commence revenue generation roughly 9 months from the point of its completion. Please keep in mind that these timelines are general estimates and can be subject to change based on the specific circumstances and requirements of each film project.
