whiz movies invests equity or mezzanine in movies which are produced based on simple, risk-reducing principles (hereinafter the investment thesis)
we invest in mid-sized budget movies with high quality scripts and an outstanding cast, all of which creates a high appeal for distribution (particularly through streaming platforms).
we seek to reduce costs of production particularly through our affiliate companies in Latvia and Malta, which provide production services and offer a large LED Unit for virtual production as well as a classical soundstage.
we seek to reduce the equity piece necessary to cover these costs by shooting in jurisdictions with high tax rebates and by pre-sales from our strong network in distribution; the equity is then substantially provided by our investment
we work in close cooperation with well-established production companies, agencies and distributors who share our approach of focus on sales margins by reducing costs and increasing production value.
we thus invest in high production value at low costs and with low financing costs, which we and our partners help create.
