Film Production Company On Fast Track To Partnership With High Net Worth Investors Including Millionaire ExFounders Of Internet Financial And Manufacturing Companies



"Kiev Nites", an epic crime drama in the veign of "Goodfellas", "Scarface", "Gangs Of New York", "Casino", and others, is gearing up for a Winter start date.

The script for "Kiev Nites", which was also written by the film's producer, Yuri Rutman has already attracted the interest of major talent and is currently making the rounds to attatch a few A-listers.

Rutman has also been fielding interest from different investors to partner up with him on the film. "You have all these high net worth guys like Fred Smith of FEDEX and Norman Waitt of Gateway Computers who financed "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", Max Levchin and David Sacks of PAYPAL, Marc Turtletaub from The Money Store, Roger Marino from EMC Corp, former Chicago bulls co-owner Jim Stern, Jeff Skoll Of Ebay, Sidney Kimmel Of Jones Apparel Group, Minnesota Twins owner Bill Pohlad, real estate developers such as Bob Yari and others all started to bankroll films. I am talking with similar guys who recently sold their companies for a gazillion dollars, are bored, looking at the sunset in nowhere, USA, and have always wanted to be in the film business for tax, vanity, or alternative investment reasons".

After the recent Toronto and previous Sundance Film Festivals, the market has been very big for sophisticated independent A-level films selling at 3-10x their investment to big studio distributors.

"Alternative venture investors are seeing a window of opportunity that the big studios are hungry for product. A compelling coming of age crime drama such as "Kiev Nites", coupled with A-actors, an innovative risk minimization strategy, and built-in worldwide audience for crime films and shows like the "Sopranos" would really be a huge launchpad for us and our investor-partners. Especially if we can hedge the financing across several films"

Rutman is also becoming too familiar with "fishermen" who are more interested in his proprietary business model than in actually investing. The strategy may include a 100% principal protection of capital to fund 4-6 films.

"There are so many individuals out there who have a high net worth, but I think their hearts are in the wrong place. I want to make sure I partner up with someone where we are both of the same consciousness to succeed on a win-win basis. This is my life's passion and I am not looking to do a fly-by night venture with someone who isn't on the same frequency as me."
