"Engagement" is an independent movie which has been filmed and produced in Port Elizabeth on Sony's new HDR-FX1 camera, which has an HDV 1080i widescreen option, making for a very high-quality image. Our strategy is to distribute the film by means of digital projector screenings throughout South Africa, followed by DVD release with sales through the internet and relevant retail stores. We are also pursuing distribution deals in other countries around the world. To raise our budget of R 400 000.00, we are offering investors a profitshare option which amounts to 1% for every R 8 000.00 invested. Cash investors will receive their initial investment back, with 12% interest, once the film is generating income. With our first release date scheduled for 05 May 2005 we expect to be able to repay these amounts within six months. Once they have been reimbursed their initial investment and interest earned, Shareholders will continue to receive a bi-annual dividend in accordance with their profitshare percentage. The average lifespan of most movies is between seven to ten years, so we expect to see investors reaping ongoing rewards long after their initial investment has been returned to them. Please request an Investor Contract if you are interested in investing.

Advertising

In terms of Marketing exposure, we have several options for promoting your Company. These are a couple:
1. We are able to run adverts before the feature screening. This could be in the form of a still slide-style ad or a full 30-second TV advert if you have one. If necessary, we can even produce a broadcast-quality advert for your company at a very good rate.
The value allocated to these adverts is currently R 100.00 per screening, with advertisers committing to a maximum of 500 screenings countrywide (R 50 000.00 value) but not paying for more than the actual number of screenings or the maximum amount they have committed to. (e.g. R 10 000.00 would give an advertiser up to 100 screenings.)
2. Premiere Screening and Printed materials. Our Premiere will host in excess of 600 guests at the PE Opera House. This will take the form of a formal event with the World First Screening of Engagement followed by cocktails and interviews with the Crew and Leads. Branding at this event and on tickets and other printed matter for public release is available to companies who are prepared to invest with us in this project.
