DISCLAIMER: OUTRIGHT SALE ONLY — PREMIUM FILM-READY PACKAGE

 This film-ready package—which includes all proprietary development materials such as the screenplay, pitch deck, sizzle reel, visual treatments, and supporting documentation (collectively, the “Package”)—is offered exclusively on an outright sale basis. This applies to all industry stakeholders, including but not limited to major studios, streaming platforms, distributors, international sales agents, and acquisition executives.

​​​

No licensing, optioning, co-production arrangements, deferred compensation, or profit participation models will be considered with respect to the sale of the core film-ready package. All engagement regarding this package must be in the form of a one-time, full buyout acquisition, transferring all associated rights upon execution of a binding agreement and receipt of cleared funds.

​

However, this does not preclude the seller from considering separately structured partnerships related to:

​

• Actor Attachments: Proposals for actor involvement that enhance distribution value may be considered independently of the package sale, provided they are subject to separate agreements (e.g., talent services deals or conditional LOIs) and do not alter the ownership, financial structure, or sale terms of the core package.

​

• Soundtrack Collaborations: Proposals involving original music or soundtrack contributions may also be evaluated on a standalone basis, so long as they are contracted under independent music licensing or services agreements and do not grant any ownership or revenue rights in the film property itself.

​

In all cases, any such partnerships must not delay or compromise the core acquisition process and must be non-contingent to the sale of the film-ready package.

​

LEGAL AND FINANCIAL TERMS

​​

1. Intellectual Property Rights:

The Package is fully protected under U.S. and international copyright law. All creative elements are original works and are owned solely by the creator(s) unless otherwise stated in writing. No rights—whether narrative, derivative, or ancillary—will transfer until a formal purchase agreement is executed and payment is received in full.

​​

2. Transaction Protocol:

All transactions will be governed by industry-standard legal agreements, negotiated in good faith by business affairs and legal representatives on both sides. Any distribution or studio partner seeking to acquire this project will be required to engage in due diligence through appropriate channels (e.g., Legal, Acquisitions, or Business Affairs).

​​

3. Confidentiality & Use Limitations:

Reviewing this Package does not grant permission to copy, share, circulate, or pitch the materials without prior written authorization. Unauthorized use or misrepresentation of the Package will be considered a breach of intellectual property rights and subject to legal action.

​​

FOR DISTRIBUTION & INDUSTRY PARTNERS

​​

We welcome serious acquisition conversations from verified contacts across the following areas:

• Studios (e.g., Warner Bros., A24, Sony): via Creative Development, Business Affairs, or Acquisitions teams

• Streamers (e.g., Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+): through Original Programming and Content Acquisition divisions

• Distributors & Sales Agents (e.g., Neon, IFC Films, Lionsgate): aligned with festival-driven and market-ready strategies

​​

FINAL NOTE

​​

This project has been packaged with sales strategy in mind, including talent attachments and premium pitch assets. For qualified buyers at major industry events (Cannes, TIFF, Berlinale, Sundance, etc.), our team is prepared to move swiftly with a secure and exclusive transaction.

​​

Engagement implies acknowledgment of and compliance with the above terms.

Let me know if you'd like a version with NDAs, talent name placeholders, or specific distribution clauses included.

​

Note: 

• This maintains our full control over the IP and sale.

• This invites strategic proposals that could enhance value (e.g., actor-driven financing leverage or festival appeal).

• This makes clear those partnerships are separate and non-contingent—so there's no creative or financial dilution of our core package.

Territorial Distribution Clause: Premium Market-Specific Allocation

​​

1. Territorial Rights and Exclusivity

​

The Buyer shall acquire exclusive worldwide distribution rights only for the territories expressly listed in the final agreement. Each territory shall be negotiated individually or in strategic regional blocks, with financial terms reflective of its commercial potential, market regulations, and distribution infrastructure.

​

2. Priority Market Clause

​​

For the following priority markets—United States, United Kingdom, Canada, China, France, Japan, and India—rights shall be allocated under the following conditions:

​​

• United States & Canada:
  Due to high-value theatrical, VOD, and streaming returns, North American rights shall be licensed or sold at premium rates with minimum guarantees (MGs) and backend bonuses based on box office, subscription revenue, or digital downloads.
  U.S. rights must include SAG-AFTRA and WGA compliance.

​​​

• United Kingdom:
  Distribution must comply with BFI certification and tax incentive guidelines. A floor price shall apply, and exclusivity shall be time-bound to allow future resale to UK-based streamers or channels (e.g., BBC Films, Channel 4).

​​​

• China:
  Due to quota restrictions and censorship protocols, Chinese distribution rights shall only be granted to approved local partners or international companies with SARFT clearance. Revenue-sharing models may be negotiated, but minimum upfront guarantees are required.

​​

• France:
  Given CNC and festival-driven interest (e.g., Cannes), French rights will require an MG-based sale or presale. The buyer must have a proven track record with European broadcasters or theatrical distributors.

​​

• Japan:
  Rights shall be granted to a local distributor with experience in festival programming (Tokyo, Osaka) and VOD. Japan requires exclusive digital and theatrical segmentation with transparent royalty reporting.

​​

• India:
  Indian rights shall be sold by language segment (e.g., Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, English) and may be bundled with OTT platforms (e.g., JioCinema, Netflix India). Distribution must comply with CBFC regulations. A tiered pricing model with upfront MG + backend is mandatory.

​​

3. Right of Reversion
If any exclusive territorial rights remain unsold or are not activated within 18–24 months of initial deal closure, all rights revert to the seller, with no further obligation.

​​

4. Audit Rights & Reporting
All buyers shall agree to quarterly financial reporting and provide access for third-party audits upon reasonable notice, especially in markets with complex revenue channels (e.g., China, India, Japan).

​​​

This clause protects our upside in strong markets, leverages local regulations to our benefit, and ensures transparency and fallback options. ​
