Hollywood is typically controlled by the larger studios that focus on blockbusters and their blockbuster budgets. At Rootbeer Films, Inc., our smaller production company will include smaller films with budgets of between 1-5 million dollars. These smaller budgets in turn, leaves Rootbeer Films, Inc. to a variety of independent producers working for innovative new distributors and pay per view portals, such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, The Sci-fy Channel and Crackle.
During its first year of operating, Rootbeer Films, Inc. plans to focus on this smaller film world with the goal of producing a slate of films that are budgeted cost effectively in the under 5 million dollar range.

The operations of Rootbeer Films, Inc. will have three stages. During the first stage, the company will focus on development and production. The company has finished the development of its first project, called “Zombrero”, and is currently seeking financing in the range of $1-3 million. Each one of the company’s projects involves a different genre and is targeted to a different market. The most appropriate time to proceed into production of the second project, “Dance 10”, will be when “Zombrero” will be completed and sold to distributors. This is the time when Rootbeer Films, Inc. will be positioned in the marketplace with distribution deals in place for “Zombrero”. At this stage, the company will give a new look and facelift to its profile and track record.
Rootbeer Films, Inc., has also completed the development of its second project, called “Dance 10”, and is currently seeking financing. This project will be budgeted at 2-3 million dollars. The second stage of operations will also include the financing of the third project, a romantic comedy called, “The 3rd Date Rule”. This project will be budgeted at 1-2 million dollars. Written by Rootbeer Films’ Head of Production, Johnnie L. Smith, story is loosely based on the 1979 feature film romantic comedy, “Starting Over”, starring Burt Reynolds and Jill Clayburgh.

For stage three, the long-term business plan of the company will include raising capital and hiring appropriate personnel to support worldwide marketing and distribution plans for future projects. After the completion of the first two projects, the company will consider acquiring finished films and investing in additional unfinished films that are in post-production. The company will represent these films for domestic distribution and international sales acting as a foreign sales agent.
