How Film Financing Works at Nazca Films

  • 1. Project-Based Investment

    Investments are made per project, not into the company as a whole. Each film has its own budget, financing plan, and legal structure. This allows investors to evaluate opportunities individually and participate only in projects that align with their interests and risk profile.

    Nazca may also raise limited corporate operating capital to support slate packaging and operations; project investments remain ring-fenced in SPVs.

    Opportunities are offered per project through dedicated legal structures, with terms defined in formal documents. Materials are available under NDA; investing involves risk and returns are not guaranteed.

  • 2. Multiple Sources of Financing

    A film’s budget is usually assembled from several complementary sources, which may include:

    * Private investment (equity investors)

    * Public or cultural funding (film funds, grants, incentives)

    * International co-production financing

    * Presales or distribution commitments

    * Tax incentives and rebates

    By combining these elements, the amount of private capital required is reduced, and overall exposure is managed more carefully.

  • 3. What Investors Are Funding

    Investor capital typically supports key phases such as:

    * Development and packaging

    * Pre-production and principal photography

    * Post-production and delivery

    Budgets are prepared using industry standards and are designed to align creative ambition with realistic market expectations.

  • 4. How Returns Are Generated

    Once a film is completed, revenues may be generated from several channels, including:

    * Theatrical release (domestic and international)

    * Streaming and television licensing

    * International sales and territory-based distribution

    * Educational, festival, and ancillary markets

    These revenue streams are managed by distributors or sales agents experienced in global markets.

  • 5. Recoupment: How Investors Are Paid Back

    Revenues are distributed according to a recoupment schedule agreed upon in advance. While structures vary by project, investors typically:

    * Receive repayment of their initial investment (recoupment)

    * Participate in profits after recoupment, alongside other stakeholders

    All terms are clearly defined before any investment is finalized.

  • 6. Risk and Mitigation

    As with all film investments, there is inherent risk. Nazca Films addresses this by:

    * Building international financing structures

    * Working with experienced creative and production teams

    * Aligning budgets with market realities

    * Pursuing festival exposure and strong distribution pathways

    No investment is guaranteed, but each project is designed with careful planning and transparency.

  • 7. Transparency and Communication

    Investors are kept informed through defined reporting milestones, including production updates and distribution developments. All financial participation is governed by formal agreements and professional legal oversight.
