Investment Manager and Production Finance Executive Launches Film Advisory Aperture Road

In the pursuit to bridge the divide between filmmakers and investors, Aperture Road launched to capitalize on growth trends in filmed entertainment by providing financial advisory and executive production services to originators of material, right-holders, producers and financiers.

Aperture Road is optimistic about the future outlook of independent film and recognizes that as the economics become more transparent and decouple from traditional business models, opportunities to access diverse institutional and private funding sources are expanding.

However, in this competitive environment it is imperative to formulate well-advised financial strategies that align filmmaker goals with capital interests.

"Many of the financial pitfalls of funding entertainment are rarely presented, and even less rarely mitigated. Aperture Road provides clear guidance and strategies enabling clients to meet financial as well as creative objectives," says James Huddleston Aperture Road's Founder and Managing Director.

Aperture Road manages Global Media Rights, LLC (GMR) which arranges offerings in secured debt vehicles, and contract collateralization vehicles for national, state and local governmental tax incentives in independent filmed entertainment.
