Investment Strategy
Structured Capital for Film
& Premium Television
Epiq Film Fund is a private investment vehicle providing structured financing solutions to the independent film and premium television markets. The Fund is designed to address critical capital gaps that arise across the production lifecycle—particularly between greenlight and delivery—where traditional financing sources often fall short.
Our strategy prioritizes capital preservation, contractual cash-flow visibility, and disciplined underwriting, rather than speculative performance outcomes.
Investment Strategy
The Fund selectively deploys capital across the following financing structures:
Bridge Financing
Short-term, asset-backed loans secured against contracted tax incentives, presales, distribution advances, or committed equity tranches. These facilities are structured to ensure uninterrupted production and post-production workflows.
Mezzanine Financing
Subordinated or structured debt positioned between senior production financing and equity. These investments enhance overall capitalization while maintaining clearly defined repayment priority and downside protection.
Finishing Funds
Capital provided to completed or near-completed projects to support post-production, delivery, marketing, or distribution readiness—often secured by minimum guarantees or executed distribution agreements.
Pre-Production Financing
Early-stage funding that supports packaging, casting, budgeting, location development, and other preparatory activities that materially advance projects toward financing close and production commencement.
Investment Philosophy
Epiq Film Fund does not rely on speculative box-office performance as its primary return driver. Instead, we emphasize:
- Asset-backed and contract-driven underwriting
- Defined repayment waterfalls and seniority structures
- Diversification across projects, genres, and production stages
- Selective participation alongside experienced producers, distributors, and sales agents.
This approach is intended to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns while maintaining a disciplined focus on downside protection.
Target Market
The Fund targets professionally produced, commercially viable film and episodic television projects characterized by:
- Established production teams and experienced counterparties
- Recognized talent attachments and/or distributor interest
- Budgets typically within the independent to mid-market range
- Clear pathways to monetization through theatrical, streaming, or international distribution channels
