About Gold Tree
GOLD TREE is a Nevada limited liability company which formed Gold Tree Films in September 2018, a subsidiary of the brand. It then launched Gold Tree Studios in 2022, a subsidiary company in California that specializes in post production services and has equipment and stage rental. In 2024, the company expanded launching Animation GT and now is currently selling and shopping scripted and unscripted TV under Gold Tree TV and by end of year will be launching a new horror company named Old Tree Films.
In 2024, Gold Tree has reached an agreement with a private film fund to secure equity investments in some of its, and other third-party projects, subject to certain restrictions and conditions contained in the agreement. Gold Tree was specifically designed to invest in and produce consistently low risk yet still potentially high return film investments. The film investments chosen are done so through the use of a unique finance and commercial strategy as well as factors that do not (unlike traditional film investment) solely rely on the ultimate commercial success of any investment. Gold Tree will only invest in film projects that adhere to the Fund’s strict business, legal, and creative criteria.
Gold Tree will provide production services to films it owns, including assistance in development, finding alternate funding sources, packaging projects, identifying the proper sales agent for projects, actual physical production and identifying distribution options.
Unlike traditional film investment, Gold Tree’s strict criterion mitigates much of the risk of investing in film. Gold Tree’s investment model also means that the risk is based on the more easily quantifiable assessment of need for product in the marketplace as opposed to ultimate consumer satisfaction. Gold Tree requires a minimum of available tax credit, rebates or grants, service company deferrals and foreign distribution licenses or estimate of foreign distribution license fees from a reputable and bankable foreign sales agent before the Fund will approve a project. As a result, while commercial success at the box office is a desire, it is not a necessity for Gold Tree and it's investors; the model guarantees a full recoupment and a 40% minimum return on investment.
It is, however, anticipated that each of the films the fund invests in will recoup its investment and earn a profit from a combination of all of the following:
• Jurisdictional tax credits and rebates
• Revenues
• Minimum guarantees and or pre-sales for territorial rights including receipts from the distribution of the film in theaters, DVD, free and pay TV, streaming, and other rights etc.
• Product placement revenue opportunities
This means the Gold Tree is able to minimize the risk that has ordinarily been experienced in the film industry to date and take advantage of the revenues from films that perform well commercially.
