Every independent film producer knows that financing a film can be a complex and frustrating process. The reason being that there is no exact formula for how to cover the entire production budget. In other words, Producers are forced to pull together a number of different funding sources, all of which are fighting for the 1st recoupment position. In almost every case, the banks and the bridging loans push the equity investors to sit in last position; and so the equity investor (the one taking all of the risk) has no security collateral (as the banks take that) or assurance or guarantee that their money will be returned, never mind any sort of return on investment (ROI).

This is where AWE differs. AWE funds 100%, providing a single source of funding. By doing so, the equity investor is able to sit in first position, minimising its risk by securing against all the film’s assets i.e. foreign sales, tax credits, minimum guarantees and of course the actual rights (intellectual property), until the investor has fully recouped its money.
