D/GENERATION FILM PROPOSAL

D/Generation is an upcoming science fiction film being produced by the Tropics Digital Media Group (DMG). The purpose of this document is to provide information towards the viability of the film.

The next following pages will describe, in general detail, about the film and the film deal.

Please see the valuation breakdown on the last pages of the document for more specific information.

Page 2: Film Proposal

HOW DOES IT WORK?

My film needs funding.

You know someone with 250k in capital that has backed at least 2 creative projects.

You verify the lead’s financial information by obtaining bank records / company financial information and proof they have backed at least 2 creative projects.

I pay you $200 for this information.

You negotiate a meeting with me and the lead.

I meet with the lead and attempt to close the deal.

I pay you $300 to $800 depending on the person you referred, even if the deal doesn’t close.

If the movie gets made, 94% of the profits goes to charity, and 5% back to you.

WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT?

D/Generation is an upcoming science-fiction film. With a screenplay at 71 pages in length, it will be slightly longer than a short film, but is still at this point categorized as an independent. That being the case, a web site has been created to showcase the film.

The website includes a trailer, the screenplay, character descriptions, and more information about the Tropics DMG including demo reels and items in production.

This information can be found on the following website: http://www.tropicsdmg.com/d_generation_synopsis.html

Page 4: Film Proposal

WHAT IS THE INTEREST TO YOU?

In order to facilitate completion of a deal, it is beneficial for Tropics DMG to capture the interest of key targets in the film industry. We would like to close a deal for the movie with least $250,000.00 down in upfront investment at no more than 10% interest rates, or $25,000.00.

In order to do this, we are willing to give a nominal finder's fee to whomsoever finds the lead and arranges a meeting. The interest to the finder would be $500.00 - $1000.00 (for high value targets) to the finder of the lead. If the deal closes, at the end of the film production, we can pledge 5% of the total profit to the finder, which would be at least $5000.00 in this case.

The money is payable via PayPal, a convenient and secure method of payment.

WHAT IS THE BUDGETING FOR THE MOVIE?

The investment will be roughly distributed equally amongst four main categories including: rentals, computer graphic imagery (cgi), talent, and marketing / distribution. Secondary categories include: crew, legal and writing.

WHERE WILL THE PROFITS GO?

Tropics DMG is deeply interested in doing good for the world. Because of this, 94% of the profit would go back to society in important issues such as global development (including water, vaccine delivery, family planning, and agriculture), global health (including key diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis) and other causes such as tobacco / diabetes awareness and U.S. education advocacy/administrative programs.
