Home | About Me | Projects | Articles The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ empowers a filmmaker to sell investments in a prospective film. This pioneering self-help kit provides indispensable documents for a securities offering in the United States. Satisfaction guaranteed. Here's some good news: plenty of people would pay to get involved in the film industry. Your film and their money would be a great match. The bad news is, there are lots of scams, and consequently, lots of regulation of investments. Indeed regulators have said that entertainment investment schemes are among the biggest scams in the country. Therefore, getting investors for your film requires following complex procedures. Let me give you three reasons to buy The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ: First, the writer of this Kit is a securities specialist. I'm experienced as both a corporate paralegal and as a financing consultant to filmmakers. I worked as a paralegal or assistant at several high-priced corporate law firms in Washington, D.C. Corporate lawyers typically delegate the preparation of business documents to their assistants. That's how I learned to prepare many kinds of business documents. Subsequently as a consultant, I've become proficient at preparing securities offerings specifically for filmmakers. Second, this Kit has an unbeatably low price. Lawyers who prepare offering documents for securities typically charge between $1,500 and $4,000. A few nonlawyers who prepare securities offerings, though they don't specialize in films, charge around $600. By comparison, The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ has an introductory price of only $79. Many filmmakers cannot afford hundreds or thousands of dollars just for bureaucratic paperwork. This Kit is the most affordable option. Third, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied with the Kit, I will refund the price. Nobody else who helps with securities offerings provides a moneyback guarantee of satisfaction. By buying the Kit, you risk nothing. The most basic securities offering is one using Rule 504 of regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This particular offering can raise up to $1 million from the private sale of securities to select investors. Learn more. This offering keeps the bureaucratic procedures to a minimum. The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ provides templates of the following offering documents:
In this way, the Kit provides an actual securities offering for a prospective film. You need to substitute details of my project with details of your own project. The documents need details about your budget, personnel, prospective film, amount of securities, and profit participation. Within the bureaucratic construction and language, you can insert your own information. A couple of more pieces of bureaucratic paperwork complete a securities offering:
In this way, the Kit provides 85%-90% of the completed paperwork for a securities offering. That leaves you with just a minimal amount of do-it-yourself work. The preparation of business documents simply is not the practice of law. Just as you don't need a lawyer to prepare your personal tax forms, you also don't need a lawyer to prepare your investment offering. Lawyers don't own a monopoly over preparing business documents. However, many lawyers sell themselves as preparers of business documents. That's because there are probably too many lawyers, and not enough legal work for them. The United States has roughly 680,000 lawyers, with about 40,000 new lawyers each year. Not surprisingly, many lawyers are busybodies, handling secretarial work while pretending to be indispensable. When hired to prepare business documents, lawyers typically delegate this work to their assistants. These secretaries and paralegals are ordinary nonlawyers, like me, who mostly use legal forms or templates. Just think, if this were bona fide legal work the lawyers would do it themselves. Instead they routinely delegate it to nonlawyers. My experience working at corporate law firms was like looking behind the curtain of the Wizard of Oz. Corporate law firms maintain an enormous pretense. Some lawyers who handle film investments even inflate their fees. For example, they may charge for decorative documents, such as an unnecessary tax opinion or an especially redundant opinion saying their paperwork is legal. Despite these gimmicks basic securities paperwork is secretarial. Do you really need a lawyer to be your secretary? Save money. Use The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ. Satisfaction guaranteed. The Filmmaker's Do-It-Yourself Securities KitÔ has a low introductory price of only $79. Again, nobody else who helps with securities offerings provides a moneyback guarantee of satisfaction. Incidentally, I'm not a lawyer and don't provide legal advice. Fortunately, there are many resources for free and cheap legal guidance. I will deliver the Kit by email as HTML attachments. That saves paper and makes it easier for you to cut out the details of my project and paste the details of yours. Naturally there are a few terms and conditions. Simply put, this Kit is an unbeatable bargain with an unrivaled moneyback guarantee.
