Best Alternative Investment Opportunity Is One Company's Hollywood & Silicon Valley Convergence
Los Angeles, November 21, 2014 (Newswire.com) - When Hollywood lost its monopoly on distribution thanks to different technology platforms, a level playing field was created for investors who had an affinity to invest in movies but did not always have a guaranteed ROI.
At the same time, private equity firms, family offices, venture capital, sovereign wealth funds, and ultra high net worth investors started to be the principal backers of most films that Hollywood studios are releasing.
The convergence and growth of theater screens, digital distribution, video on demand, and risk minimization strategies is proving to be a superior business model on the evolution of a 100 year old industry vs. a lot of investors who are spreading their risk across many startups hoping for a lottery ticket win

With names like Jim Breyer of Accel Partners, Fred Smith of Fedex, Mark Rachesky of MR Fund Management, Tim Headington, Larry Ellison of Oracle, and institutional investors such as Waddell & Read, Fortress, Fidelity, and numerous others, the list of investors knocking on Hollywood's door started to grow.
"Historically, investors were limited to a movie's profits based on theatrical, video, and DVD", adds Yuri Rutman, Managing Partner of Noci Pictures. "But now its a level playing field with the explosion of OTT, Digital Cinema Distribution, and VOD, along with hedging strategies that can get investors back a majority of their invested equity prior to revenues".
For a while Noci Pictures put its fund raising efforts on hold until the capital markets became more active again. It is now putting together a large private equity capital raise open to accredited retail investors and institutional investors.
"If you look at the box office revenues of some of the the most profitable films today they were all backed by private investors. These groups are not in it for red carpet parties but long-term equity plays. Further, some of the most conservative investors are coming out of the woods to pursue opportunities such as ours because the ROI on stocks, mutual funds, real estate, oil & gas, and a majority of tech startups dont't have dependable transparancy models"
Noci Pictures' business model is structured on having a more transparent and risk minimized organization that gives investors a priviliged opportunity to invest in media & entertainment deals.
The company is in discussions with various private equity investors as well as accredited ultra high net worth investors and family offices on the upside of an alternative investment in film, tv, and digital content.
"The convergence and growth of theater screens, digital distribution, video on demand, and risk strategies is proving to be a superior business model on the evolution of a 100 year old industry vs. a lot of investors who are spreading their risk across many startups hoping for a lottery ticket win", adds Rutman."
