Bridge Financing is a loan made to a production prior to its primary production facility closing with a lender. Bridge loans can keep productions from falling apart as they offer a financial Bridge to a production from the late stages of pre -production through the first days of principal production.
Mezzanine Loans are held in 2nd position behind the senior loan; however, many times the loan can be in first position against any international sales. As footage of the project is released to international sales agents, they will begin to release their pre-sale money. These monies go to pay the fist position Mezzanine Loan.
Loans against the estimated value of the available and unsold worldwide distribution rights of a production.
Loans against Tax Credits
Loans against a state, regional, provincial, local, or federal tax subsidy that are needed to cash flow subsidy payments that do not cash flow at the time of production.
