The Film Partners Media Limited (FPM Ltd) are launching the film, The Pale King, which is based on India's grandest mythologies, The Mahabharata. This film will be the first in a trilogy, which is said to rival Avatar and the Lord of the Rings movies. The Mahabharata will be directed by Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner, Michael Radford.
The company will be making three other films, Castro, Irish Story, and It's Probably Nothing... The producer is Chris Rose.
FPM Ltd are looking for development investment in specific projects rather than a general 'invest with us' approach. They are Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) approved.
Full repayment of your initial investment is made on the first shoot day of the first of the four films, followed by profit as the films are released.
The team is raising £470k development funding in exchange for up to 12.5% of producers' net, in comparison to the $155m costs of shooting the films (which accrues 50%.) The only risk, therefore, is that none of the four films are made. They intend to make all four films, however, they only need to make one for Development Investors to recoup.
