How it works
Three steps, plainly explained
Your participation
You finance part of a specific production and receive a share of its revenues.
Behind the scenes
Depending on the amount, invitations to premieres, the set or the making-of.
What you actually own
A contractual share in the revenues of one identified film.
Provided by a specialised partner, with whom the contract is concluded directly. AvantGarde introduces you and accompanies you; it does not hold client funds.
Why no return figures here
Partner projections are estimates, not promises. You receive them with all costs and risks, in writing, after the partner has assessed your situation — never as a headline.
Risks you should know
Read this before the opportunity
A film can underperform in cinemas and with streaming platforms.
Production delays push revenues back.
Revenue accounting in film is complex.
No secondary market for your participation.
It may fit if…
- ✓You want a small, uncorrelated, passion-led allocation
It is not for you if…
- ✕You could not afford to lose the amount
- ✕You need predictable income
