Investment Opportunities

We encourage those who are intrigued by Ovie Entertainment's vision and interested in investment opportunities to contact us by email at investments@ovie.com or by telephone at 212.450.7983.

We are currently completing the development of our First Slate of movies. We regard ourselves as "balanced" creative producers. We analyze each potential project for development and production in light of two critical elements: the quality of creative Ovie-style content, and the ability of that content to be translated into quality product that is financially viable, commercially marketable and ultimately profitable. Ovie loves and respects creative genius, but our responsibility to our investors is to couple creativity with requisite revenue numbers and distributor interest that will enable us to bring our productions successfully to the marketplace where they can be exhibited, viewed, rented and purchased.

In brief, interested parties would be investing in our First Slate 2011, allowing for investment in a slate of five films, rather than a single film, the more typical independent film business model. Thus, each investment will be diversified over the films in the First Slate, which are intended to reach different, yet broad, demographics, with substantial cross-over potential.

REGARDING SCREENPLAYS

Ovie Entertainment is always looking for screenplays that promise to fulfill our filmmaking vision, and we welcome submissions that you feel share our goals of diverse, high-quality, independent feature films based on intelligent, controversial, and cutting-edge scripts that evidence mastery of structure, causality, and character. We are not generally looking for scripts that are period pieces or require extensive special effects.

A synopsis must accompany all script submissions. Scripts and treatments should be pre-registered with the WGA or with the Copyright Office, please. We're not interested in ripping you off, nor are we looking to become defendants in lawsuits. By protecting yourselves, you'll be protecting Ovie as well.
