Introduction and Overview

The Nobel Connection is a major independent motion picture drama currently in the early stages of development and based on the outstanding screenplay of the same name.

Pro Phase Productions, Inc. (also referred to as the "Company" as represented by the producer of the movie who is also Company president), is engaged in the development of a major motion picture tentatively called The Nobel Connection (subtitled A Greek Story). While a multi-picture slate is not being ruled out for the future, the Company’s primary business activity focuses on packaging and producing The Nobel Connection, which is anticipated to appeal, critically and commercially, to a mainstream moviegoing audience and to enormous worldwide specialty audiences. Currently based in NW Indiana and Chicago, the Company will be opening an office in Michigan.

The Company is currently seeking a single corporate sponsor or financier, a group of individual investors, or a combination of collateralized loans, bridge loans, private equity, hedge funds, gap, and super gap financing of up to $21.86 million for financing the film’s total production budget. The risk on this investment will be no greater than $12.76 million and can be as low as $6.76 million or less.

Commissions of up to $400,000 are also being offered to an agent or agents who bring in full financing and greenlight the film into production. The agent or top two agents bringing full financing to the project shall receive the title of Executive Producer.

The loan or investment for this movie may be secured or collateralized by state film tax rebates, Section 181 of the IRS Tax Code, a Kerasotes ShowPlace Theatres exhibition agreement, one or more A-list talent, foreign presales, gap financing, product placement advertising, and outright ownership of the movie with license to release the movie in all domestic and worldwide revenue producing markets. These forms of collateral will be discussed throughout this document.

Various state film incentives and a federal tax code favorable to investors will reduce the investment risk to a maximum of $12.76 million or as low as $6.76 million or less (regardless of how the film does commercially), a figure which should readily and timely be recouped upon its release into the various revenue-generating markets.

The completed movie will be released domestically and internationally in all revenue-producing theatrical, ancillary and allied markets. The Nobel Connection is anticipated to have enormous critical and worldwide commercial appeal to both mainstream and specialty movieviewing audiences.

The Nobel Connection is being produced for release in all North American (the domestic market includes the United States and Canada) and worldwide theatrical (box office), ancillary (home video, network television, pay-per-view, direct broadcast satellite, multi-lingual internet video on demand downloads, cross-market digital distribution including theatrical digital projection, and relicensing [future media and formats not yet discovered ]), allied (sound track and merchandising), and non-theatrical markets . These markets will serve as the revenue stream for the movie.

One of the Company’s goal is to produce a major motion picture with a $60 million look (production value) at a loan or investor risk of less than $13 million.

The Nobel Connection is an epical romantic drama of corporate intrigue and inspiration involving five lifelong friends (the children of poor immigrants) in three first-generation families of achieved and contrasting social standing, facing unexpected challenges and crises in their pursuit of the American dream. The lead male character in the film, to be portrayed by an A-list actor, is a self-made entrepreneur with successes in broadcast television and in alternate energy sources, primarily wind energy turbines.

The storyline also includes another currently newsworthy and important topic, that of government bailouts of companies that have gotten themselves into a financial crisis.

By location and subject matter The Nobel Connection should have huge territorial and regional followings. By lineage and culture it should be a strong attraction to the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians, to Christians in general, to immigrants, and to anyone outside the country with ties to the United States. For this reason alone, this loyal, proud, and built-in specialty audience of 300 million allows for the potential of the movie earn a substantial return on investment and become a box office hit.

The Nobel Connection is expected to have potential critical, artistic, and commercial appeal domestically and in a global market for several other significant reasons as well: its multicultural nature; level of sophistication, and blend of meaningful social and historical significance; romance; corporate intrigue revealed through a series of unique and scintillating plot twists; association with the Nobel Prize; appeal in the North American market to both mainstream and specialty audiences of all ages; the demand for American product in foreign countries; and its intelligent and sophisticated story, subplots, and dialogue.

The strength of the project is evidential in the great screenplay of The Nobel Connection which is original, scintillating, and the kind of corporate, intelligent epical drama which can earn Academy Award recognition. Demographically, the movie will appeal to traditional as well as more expansive, heretofore untapped, moviegoing groups.

A number of new extremely favorable state and federal tax credits and other financial incentives (in addition to a share of the film’s net profits), which reduce the amount of the investment risk, are available to individuals or corporations providing the financing for the movie.
