📅 When is the best time to approach Pretzel Entertainment for financing?

We recommend contacting us once your project has a solid package in place, including a director, cast, and a sales agent. These elements demonstrate the project’s readiness and market potential, making it easier for us to assess its suitability for financing.

🎬 When should I approach for packaging services?

If you require our packaging services, please reach out when your script is fully developed and ready for production. This ensures we can assist in assembling additional components such as cast, crew, and financial structuring.

📄 What information and documents are required?

To evaluate your project, please provide the following:

• Project package/deck detailing the creative team
• Loan request, including the amount and intended purpose
• Estimated closing timeframe
• Detailed finance plan, including funding sources
• Comprehensive budget
• Finalised script
• Detailed production schedule, from pre-production to delivery
• Sales agent details and their market strategy
• Sales agent’s estimates and terms, including fees and expenses
• Details of any completion guarantor (if applicable)
• Information on any guild involvement (if applicable)

Providing these materials ensures we can assess the project effectively.
