Filmscape launches new film finance initiative

Filmscape has launched a new finance initiative to offer investments into feature films and high end television productions to companies who hire their camera, lighting and grip equipment.

Kevin Harvey, managing director of Filmscape, commented: “Given the current climate we feel the time is right to offer to offer this facility to independent productions, giving both the production and our company the competitive edge. At Filmscape we have invested multi-millions into our camera infrastructure and see independent UK feature films as a real growth opportunity.”

Independent to this new initiative, Filmscape has also teamed up with post production house LipSync for a joint investment offering, which will be administered through one source to ensure a smooth transaction.

“We are pleased to work with Filmscape on this attractive offering – it not only helps productions to secure their budget, but also provides valuable expertise inproduction equipment and post-production options,” said Norman Merry, financial director, LipSync.
