JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 11 www.theFilmRazor.com CAST TARGETS FilmRazor will acquire the best talent possible for every role. The entire production is extremely fortunate to already have Russell Shealy attached for the starring role of Mark Deering. Russell is an extremely talented actor that will also help attract a “named” talent to the production. And ultimately, we can use the “name” to market the film. The goal is to sign a seasoned actor for the co-starring role of Mark’s unlikely companion and homeless man, Jake. This heartfelt character will help Mark on his journey, and through their friendship, will manage to find a way to heal himself as well.

POSSIBLE TALENT CO-STAR TARGETS

Jake

Donald Glover Steve Zahn Ben Foster The Martian War for the Planet of the Apes Hell or High Water

Note: The actors listed for the role of “Jake” are targets only and are NOT attached to the film.

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 12 www.theFilmRazor.com MARKETING PLAN SURRENDER ME will follow a common model for distribution of low-budget independent films. The movie will premiere in the two major domestic film cities of Los Angeles and New York in order to generate buzz with an extensive and primary overseas distribution. Digital ads, Facebook, and Instagram will all be used to generate awareness for the film and a heavy marketing campaign will be centered around the “named” talent that FilmRazor secures for the project.

PRE-SALE AGREEMENT

Pre-Sale Agreement - foreign. The distribution agreement is a form of security for investors. A negative pickup deal is essentially a pre-sale agreement, where the territory in which the limited distribution rights have been pre-sold is the U.S. (rather than a foreign country). The filmmaker is generally required, as a condition of the pre-sale agreement, to obtain a completion bond (an insurance policy covering the cost of completing the film if the filmmaker is unable to do so). Since the completion of the film (regardless of how well it comes out) triggers the payment of the amount predetermined in the pre-sale agreement for the distribution rights in the territory covered by the agreement, the mere existence of such an agreement virtually guarantees that the investors will make some or all of their money back. The financier, in the investment agreement with the producer, obtains a security interest in the funds to be advanced by the foreign distributor pursuant to the pre- sale. This significantly lowers the risk of making an investment in the film.

Sales Agents to promote the films – top sales agents charge a fee of $7,500 to $15,000 for the privilege of having them represent your film at the top film festivals and elsewhere. This is really a screening mechanism to weed out the amateurs, as top sales agents have access to the top studios, and they are highly sought after. They invest enormous amounts of their time, credibility and promotional activities to get the films that they represent into the right hands. Find out what they have distributed or otherwise promoted and see how well those films have done, in terms of critical and economic success.

This success has led studios to seek properties like the one available from SURRENDER ME. The market research SURRENDER ME will commission, will provide the information necessary to structure a successful position for SURRENDER ME in this very active genre and in this time of uncertainty due to the economic effects of the Coronavirus. An analysis of the feature film market, the sales opportunities and competitive challenges is a critical component of the marketing plan that SURRENDER ME consultants are addressing. Netflix for example is revolutionizing the way people watch films, while major new streaming services from Apple, Disney, Warner Bros. and other deep-pocketed studios are coming soon. SURRENDER ME has positioned itself in this emerging market by: • Tapping the extremely talented crop of experienced professionals. • Marketing and developing its project with industry leaders. • SURRENDER ME will be produced a digital format, allowing the product to enter the market seamlessly, quickly, and relatively inexpensively. SURRENDER ME will produce its film in an entirely digital High Definition format. This digital format is independent of the delivery medium, and thus creates an extremely versatile product that can be: – Converted from digital HDTV to a traditional 35mm film master for existing domestic and international theatrical projection

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 16 www.theFilmRazor.com – Broadcast as conventional “made for TV” movies in STV format on existing international cable, satellite, HD and network channels – Transmitted as true HDTV digital films on mandated high definition broadcast channels – Digitally projected in most HD theaters – Internet film venues – Mobile device venues The convergence of entertainment delivery via Internet and DVD with an increasing demand for programs in traditional film and television markets has created a unique market opportunity for creative media entrepreneurs to place product in more venues than ever before and to “seed the clouds” with aggressive marketing campaigns for traditional theatrical release movies. Traditionally, there have been two models for making feature films: the studio model and the low-budget model. In the studio model, a feature film was backed with money from a major studio (i.e., Disney, Warner Brothers, Columbia, 20th Century Fox, and Dreamworks) with the intent to release the film in theaters. However, a number of factors are changing the placement opportunities and budget requirements for theatrical feature and “made for TV” films: – Globalization has opened new markets and widened old ones – Increasing audience sophistication requires more and more special effects – The explosion of direct to video/DVD outlets has created an unprecedented demand for entertainment content – HDTV is making filmmaking less expensive and more flexible – The international audience appetite has grown with staggering numbers – Streaming services like Netflix are growing in numbers and content is king. The opportunity exists for a company with the right combination of talent, tenacity, creativity, and market access to leverage the convergence of these elements into a new movie-making model. FilmRazor is that kind of company. First, SURRENDER ME’s feature plays well in American and foreign markets. Genres that enjoy strong support are, Action-adventure, Horror, Thrillers and Romance. These genres play directly into SURRENDER ME’s production strengths. FR is completing a pre-selling presentation package for the feature, including: – Promo reel with several marketing packets – Web site and targeted Internet placements – Giveaways and promotions This pre-selling presentation package on DVD and Video on SURRENDER ME will be available to distributors and licensees. In conjunction with its distributor and other partners,

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 17 www.theFilmRazor.com SURRENDER ME would present this package to international buyers at such venues as Cannes, Sundance, and the American Film Market. These tools create a show buzz and drive buyers to SURRENDER ME’s overseas offerings. Techniques like these will assure SURRENDER ME a fair market share in an expanding sales environment.

FUTURE PROPERTIES Investors will also have first right of refusal in FilmRazor’s upcoming films.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. What effects has the coronavirus had on the movie industry? Everything has changed. Including the movie industry. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t finds ways to do things better. But adversity is the mother of invention. And we are facing extreme adversity, but out of this, there are going to be paths forward to all of the things that matter to us in our culture and our society. Things like sports, travel, concerts, and going to the movies.

People love shared experiences. Will these experiences go away. No? Will we find a way to do them differently? Absolutely. So movie theaters will go on. You have to remember a vaccine will be developed to end this particular pandemic.

But we are banking on it to make a come back. Making a movie takes roughly 9 months to produce from start to finish. Our bet is that once we come out of this, and a possible vaccine is approved, people will once again feel safe going to the movies. Majority Of Moviegoers Will Return To Cinemas If COVID-19 Safety Guidelines Are In Place, EDO Survey Finds*

Being one of the first movies out in the world once everything reopens is a story in itself and can help with publicity of the film. When things go back to a new normal we will be ahead of the game and all other productions will be trying to catch up. Again this could work to our advantage because content is certainly king.

–Charles Rivkin, CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America

Charles Rivkin said this in his keynote speech at CinemaCon 2019, quoting Sterling Bagby, the late co-founder of B&B Theatres.

3. Are drive-in movie theatres an option to generate significant revenue?

Drive-in movie theaters are seeing a surprising resurgence in popularity. Today, some 500 drive-in movie theaters are still operational, according to History.com. Due to movie theater closures nationwide as a result of the coronavirus, drive-in movies are becoming increasingly popular as an entertainment option in the age of social distancing. It is FilmRazor’s obligation to its investors to explore any and all opportunities for ROI. We believe an explosion of high-tech drive-in theatres could become the new norm.

4. What genre of movie is going to get people out of their homes and into theaters?

Thrillers are still the top 5 out of 14 genres in North America from 1995 to 2019, by total box office revenue. We are confident that the most popular genres are still what will gets folks out of their homes, into a theatre, and buckled up for an entertaining ride. If you are a true thriller fan, than we wholeheartedly believe that you don’t automatically become a RomCom junkie because the pandemic has made you want to see “feel good” stories. This is evident in some of the most popular binge shows currently being viewed such as Ozark, Black Mirror, etc.

5. What makes us think SURRENDER ME can be a movie that will do well theatrically?

SURRENDER ME is a crime-thriller that escalates from fade-in to fade-out. It’s the type of film people go to the theater to see. It’s going to make you scrunch down in your seat and say to yourself, “Oh man, this is going to be a wild ride.”

Any good story that is turned into a great film is meant to be seen on its intended medium… a movie screen. This story is a fish out of water concept, and the larger than life movie theatre is the perfect arena for this story to play out.

6. How is SURRENDER ME going to position itself with regards to distribution?

SURRENDER ME will follow a common model for distribution of a low-budget independent movie. We would look for a distributor that has proven success overseas with international territories (ie Industry Works, Canada). Obtaining a domestic release for 5,833 movie theaters and 40,759 movie screens is very difficult and only warranted for huge studio

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 21 www.theFilmRazor.com blockbusters with A-list actors.

The plan is to premiere SURRENDER ME in the two major domestic movie cities of Los Angeles and New York. We will generate a buzz with the premiere and then negotiate a domestic release with either the current distributor or another distribution company in a bidding war.

7. What other viable revenue streams are there besides a theatrical release?

People are streaming more than ever. It has to be considered a revenue avenue for SURRENDER ME. Back to the truth behind content is king. If you make a good movie these platforms will buy it there’s no doubt.

Over the last few years, the rise of in-home streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and more have changed how people view movies.

As audiences across the world move from movie theaters to living rooms, it’s clear that the future of content consumption lies in SVOD services.

The reigning champion in this small-screen is Netflix, which reached 130 million subscribers across 190 countries this year. Netflix is a TV powerhouse, so it would make sense for emerging content providers to want to get their film to the eyeballs of its millions of subscribers.

But it’s not just Netflix – Hulu has over 17 million subscribers, and Amazon recently reported, “More new paid members joined Prime in 2017 than any previous year – both worldwide and in the US,” taking its figure up to more than 100 million subscribers. Meanwhile, HBO joined Netflix in shattering records with its streaming service HBO Now, surpassing five million US subscribers back in February.

First up, in order for streaming platforms will consider purchasing a film it must have a high- quality production value. The Blair Witch Project will not cut it in this day and age and even raw high-grossing films such as Paranormal and Saw have a certain viewable factor.

This is where our budget number for SURRENDER ME comes in. Using certain locations, camera stabilizers, high-end professional lighting setup, and premium post-audio editing are all essentials if you want to reach this level.

Finding a distributor is still a factor when closing a deal with streaming platforms. Partnering with a distributor or aggregator, will give us the best opportunity to land a deal as they will already have a solid relationship with Netflix and other streaming platforms.

Streaming Features is an organization that represents films and TV shows to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant, Crackle, and other platforms.

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 22 www.theFilmRazor.com It’s totally free to submit a film. And as its description states: “These platforms count on us to bring them quality content. We will represent your film to Netflix and the other platforms, and get you the best deal possible. “If we succeed, we take a standard agency commission on the backend (no up-front fees). If we don’t, we offer an alternative distribution solution that will earn you money while your film builds the buzz it needs to succeed.”

There are many aggregator options to choose from such as Speck, Distribber, etc and we work with the company that gives SURRENDER ME the best option to succeed. In a word this really is the “future” of independent movie distribution.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT

WHY FILM? Pain is temporary, film is forever: Filmmaking is not for the faint of heart. A high-level problem solving skill-set is not a luxury, it’s a must. The entire process is absolutely draining physically and emotionally from beginning to end. If you are not completely spent after filming, you’re doing it wrong. But Chris lives for those moments because ultimately he knows it’s the only way he can connect to an audience in a purely visceral way; through character and the pure escape of an engaging story. However, Chris realizes that filmmaking is a business. The minute you lose sight of the fact that you are producing a product to sell, you have failed the people that have trusted you with their investment.

WHY THIS FILM? The connective tissue: SURRENDER ME is a truly captivating story. The main character of SURRENDER ME, Brevan Taylor, is a fish out of water... with a dark secret, a scheme, and a gun. Chris connects with this narrative because he’s always been fascinated by stories of ordinary people placed in extraordinary situations and the wonderment of what decisions he would make if placed in the same exact circumstances.

WHY THIS STORY? How did an asshole like Bob get such a great kitchen?: There’s a reason why his Chris’ favorite movie is, “Bottle Rocket,” by Wes Anderson. Everyone wants to hear or see a great story. And Chris and dialogue are a match made in heaven. As a writer, you either have it or you don’t. And Chris has a sharp, modern, and crisp tone of dialogue that fits perfectly to the characters he creates. He spent years crafting every line, layering every character, and making sure his stories are thought out and memorable.

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 23 www.theFilmRazor.com WHY THIS STYLE? Opening a can of sardines can be an art: Chris draws inspiration from other directors, painters, photographers, and poets in order to create a unique and interesting style that audiences can connect with. Developing a mood through talent, movement, lighting, and music is one of his greatest strengths. Chris has a very specific vision for the style of SURRENDER ME which will help enhance the story.

Why FilmRazor?

There’s no business like show business: They don’t call it show business for nothing. Decisions regarding a film need to be carefully calculated and balanced between the good of the film and the good of the investors who trust your abilities. It’s not in our plan to make a one-off movie. The goal is sustainability in entertainment and that means our priority is delivering a sellable and successful product to our investors first and foremost.

WHY NOW? Our produce is so fresh, you’ll slap it in the face: Experience is the key but it comes from different places.Creative vision and great story telling are the necessities of directing, but developing a successful film also requires a rigorous management of budgets, resources, and talent. All of which are disciplines Chris has mastered through a 25+ year career in advertising and production. Content is king and low- budget movies have a significant place in the industry. Now is the time.

SUMMARY We sincerely thank you for reading this business plan for the motion picture, SURRENDER ME. When the right script, cast, crew and management come together, a film has the potential to become a success and unlock a wealth of financial gain for the investors at hand. FilmRazor has, and will continue, to develop the components to do just that.

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 24 www.theFilmRazor.com Glossary of terms: 1. Accredited Investor – A person with either (i) a minimum net worth of $1 million or (ii) an annual income of over $200,000, as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1933. 2. Back End – net receipts or profits generated by the film that is payable to Equity participants. 3. Chain of Title – the series of legal documentation that establishes proprietary rights to a film. Includes but not limited to original copyright filing, option agreements, acquisition agreements for spec screenplays, work-for-hire agreement from screenwriters and releases from location owners, on-screen performers and other key creative contributors to the project 4. Completion Guaranty – insurance taken out by us guaranteeing that the film will be completed without running over budget or over schedule. If a film does go over budget or over schedule, the insurance company will be required to either (i) repay the banks and any other financiers listed as beneficiaries the entire amount of their investment or (ii) pay for the cost of completing production of the film. Such insurance policies are generally required for films with budgets of over $1 million that use Debt financing. And we may have to use gap financing for 20% of the budget. 5. Corridor – a small percentage of the first dollar gross received by the production company that is earmarked to a specific recipient. i.e Commissions to EP and other third party reps. 6. Crowdfunding – the practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via Internet platforms such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. Projects raising money on such platforms are increasingly using Gap Funding to meet their campaign goals. We may take advantage of this after pre-production and we have a trailer made. . 7. Deferments – amounts payable to talent, the director, the producers and other production personnel in exchange for their services that such individuals contractually agree to postpone receiving until the film begins generating gross receipts. The amount of the deferral may be the full fee for their services or, more usually, a portion of such fees. These individuals assume the risk that the film does not generate any gross receipts or generates insufficient gross receipts to recoup their deferments. 8. Discounting – the process by which a Producer monetizes a commitment from a creditworthy distributor to pay a Minimum Guarantee (or MG) upon the delivery of the completed film. The Producer usually goes to a bank who then lends the money today at a discount in exchange for the entire amount of the minimum guarantee when the film is delivered, with the difference between the discounted amount received by the Producer today and the entire amount of the MG that is repaid to the bank considered interest and fees for the bank. 9. Distribution Fee – fee contractually charged by a distributor to the gross receipts it collects from the commercial exploitation of a film. The fee is applied in determining the participation payable to the film’s Producer. The Distribution Fee ostensibly reimburses the distributor for the use of its distribution infrastructure (i.e., its national or worldwide network of sales offices; its established relationships with exhibitors, sub-distributors and other members of the value chain)

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 25 www.theFilmRazor.com 10. Equity – funding provided to the production of the film that is only paid back if there is sufficient Back End after all other financiers have been repaid their contributions, interest and fees. Equity financiers provide the risk capital i.e investors not Angels. 11. Gap Financing – loans provided to finance the production of a film that is secured by estimated Minimum Guarantees expected from the sale of the completed film to Sales Territories that are currently unsold. 12. Gap Funding – a standby source of funding that we can tap to successfully achieve our Crowdfunding campaign goals. Clarendon Entertainment is one of the major providers of this type of funding. 13. Minimum Guarantee – a cash advance payable to the Producer by the Distributor in exchange for the exclusive rights to distribute a film in contractually stipulated media in a stipulated Sales Territory. It is paid upon the delivery of the completed film to the distributor and is recouped by the distributor, sometimes with interest, from the gross receipts it collects from the commercial exploitation of our film after first deducting its Distribution Fee, P&A costs it incurs to release the film and any other direct costs it incurs to release a film it is contractually allowed to charge the Producer for. 14. Pass-through Entity – a tax term for an entity (either corporation, limited liability company or partnership) whose taxable income or net operating loss is allocated to its owners according to the terms of that entity’s organizational documents and reported on such owners’ individual tax returns. 15. P&A – prints and advertising, which are the largest component of direct costs that a distributor incurs to release a film in all markets. It is recouped by the distributor from the gross receipts it collects from the commercial exploitation of a film, after the Distribution Fee is charged. 16. PPM – is a Private Placement Memorandum; this is the document used to communicate the terms of our equity offer to Accredited Investors and must, by rule of law, contain all material disclosures about the risks of investing so that the potential investors have all of the information needed to make an informed decision. This document is required to meet the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, even if the offering is exempt from registration. It must also meet similar requirements from the states in which the offering takes place. 17. Pre-Sale – the licensing of the distribution rights to a film in a specific Sales Territory to a distributor before the film is completed. Under a Pre-Sale, the distributor commits to pay Blue Door or LLC entity we create, a Minimum Guarantee upon the delivery of the completed film by the production company. The Pre-Sale contract may be used to help finance the film by Discounting it with a bank that specializes in making loans to production companies that are secured by such contracts. 18. Premium – a fixed charge that equity investors generally require us to pay on their investment before the production company shares in the Back End. It is generally expressed as a percentage of the amount of the equity investment. However, it does not accrue over time the way interest expense does on an outstanding loan. In our case we’ll offer 20% to Angels and 15% to investors unless the investor is an Angel.

JOSEPH ANSELMO [email protected] I 732.710.6919 26 www.theFilmRazor.com 19. Profit Participation – an Equity participant’s share of the Back End. 20. Profit Participation Statements – Monthly, quarterly or annual accounting statements provided by distributors or sales agents summarizing the gross receipts, fees, direct expenses, unrecouped minimum guarantees and net receipts, to the extent there are any, generated by the film over the period covered by the statement as well as cumulatively since the film’s release date. 21. Projected Return on Investment – measures the percentage of (i)the expected aggregate return to the Equity financiers as of the date the last of the projected gross receipts to be generated by the film are received by us and distributed to all Financiers (“liquidation date”) to (ii) the original amount invested by the Equity financiers (iii) compounded annually over the period from the date of the production company breaks escrow (capitalization date) to the liquidation date; Return on Investment (“R.O.I.”) is used by investors to compare the merits of investing in our film with the merits of investing in other asset classes. 22. Recoupment – repayment of amounts contributed to the financing of a film. 23. Sales Territory – A predefined geographical area covered by a specific distributor. Rights to distribute a film may be licensed by its Producer in a territory or territories to a certain distributor.

Service Deal – production financing provided to a film by production and post- production vendors in the form of deferred payment for production/post-production goods and services used in a film’s production until the film begins generating gross receipts. The amount of the deferral may be the full cost of such services or, more usually, a portion of such costs. 25. Soft Money – Financing provided to the production of a film in the form of tax incentives (i.e., tax credits (or rebates) and tax deductions (or allowances)) 26. Waterfall – the contractual repayment of and profit distributions to all the financial contributors to the production of a film, by order of priority
