Executive Summary
MANHATTAN FILMS was established by seasoned
entrepreneurs in the film and entertainment industry who are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of success.
With over 65 years of combined experience, we have
cultivated strong relationships with banks, filmmakers, distributors, and talent, positioning MANHATTAN FILMS as a formidable independent production company that can effectively compete with larger studios.
We believe that sustained success relies on careful
stewardship and established business practices that
ultimately support and enhance creativity.
We manage the entire spectrum of each project, including development, financing, production, editing, delivery, distribution, marketing, and ancillary revenue streams.
Our Approach
We recognize that timing is just as crucial to a project’s success as having the right cast, crew, budget, distribution, and marketing strategies. Our approach combines intuition, collective experience, and a greenlight statistical analysis process to effectively select and time projects. This strategy
ensures the best possible combination to safeguard the success of each project. Having oversight and a stakeholder role from development to distribution enables us to achieve the highest production value while effectively managing costs and contracts at every stage.
This approach also helps us preserve the creative integrity of each project.
Our risk management strategy integrates several key elements:
Securing 100% of the necessary funds for each project Leveraging banking relationships
Maintaining comprehensive budget oversight
Utilizing internal P&A funding Filming in tax-incentivized locations
Employing foreign sales and pre-sales to cover ~ 40% of production costs while also establishing favorable
distribution agreements.
