The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Writes a concise investor brief for a commercial media project, covering market opportunity, revenue model, production plan, and the investment case — structured for a private investor or media investment fund, not a broadcaster or arts council.
Required: Project title and format, brief description of the project, estimated total budget, what percentage or amount of that budget you are seeking from investors, and how investors would recoup their investment (revenue model).
Optional: Comparable projects and their revenues or valuations, co-financiers already committed, talent attached, distribution interest, production timeline, investor protections or incentives already in the structure (tax credits, presales).
Two-page investment brief: Executive Summary (150 words), The Project (150 words), Market and Comparables (150 words), Investment Structure (200 words), Risk Factors (100 words), Next Steps (50 words). Total ~800 words. Professional financial register — direct, factual, no creative language in the investment structure section. Numbers prominently displayed. All speculative projections clearly labelled as projections. The Next Steps section must specify a single concrete action for the investor and a contact method — not a vague invitation to get in touch.
Project: After the Verdict — a narrative feature film based on a true legal case (rights acquired) Format: Narrative feature, approximately 95 minutes Total budget: €4.2 million Amount seeking from private investors: €800,000 (the gap after tax credits and presales) Revenue model: Theatrical + streaming + TV rights Comparable: Films similar in budget and genre that performed well on streaming Attached: Director with one previous feature (€2.1M budget, sold to Netflix); cast in negotiations Presales: One European broadcaster presale confirmed (€400,000); second in negotiation Tax credits: 35% German film tax credit applicable (€1.47M)
AFTER THE VERDICT is a narrative feature film currently in late-stage development with €3.4M of its €4.2M production budget confirmed or committed. We are seeking €800,000 in private equity financing to close the gap and proceed to principal photography in Q3 2026.
Total budget: €4,200,000 Confirmed financing: €3,400,000 (German tax credit: €1,470,000; broadcaster presale: €400,000; equity already committed: €1,530,000) Investment sought: €800,000 Instrument: Equity participation with recoupment priority after tax credit repayment
AFTER THE VERDICT is a legal thriller based on the true story of a criminal conviction overturned after sixteen years — and the investigative journalist who exposed the original miscarriage of justice. The film's rights to the underlying case are acquired. A director whose previous feature was acquired by Netflix for international distribution is attached. Principal cast negotiations are at final stage.
The script is complete and has received development support from a national film institute. The film is designed for international theatrical release followed by streaming, with a genre (true crime/legal thriller) that has proven consistently strong on both.
The true crime and legal thriller genre has produced some of the most reliable returns in independent film over the past decade at this budget level:
AFTER THE VERDICT is budgeted conservatively for its genre and territory. The German tax credit structure and the confirmed broadcaster presale derisk the project substantially relative to a pure equity play.
Total production budget: €4,200,000

| European broadcaster presale | €400,000 | Contracted |

Recoupment waterfall:
Timeline: Production Q3 2026. Delivery Q2 2027. Festival circuit Q3–Q4 2027. Distribution from early 2028.
Distribution risk: The film does not yet have a theatrical distribution agreement in place. Streaming acquisition is the base case; theatrical distribution would increase revenues but is not required for investor recoupment at current projections.
Production risk: Principal cast negotiations are not finalised. A material change in cast could affect presale values and require renegotiation of the second broadcaster agreement.
Interested investors are invited to a 30-minute presentation and Q&A with the producer and director. Full financial model, chain of title documentation, and script available under NDA on request.
