Entertainment accountancy firm Nyman Libson Paul has launched an innovative new funding initiative called The Movies Begin Ltd (Tmb), intended to help producers at the early stages of financing their films.
Tmb will allow producers to borrow against their expected film tax credits and Vat repayments.
Unlike similar, existing tax credit loans, Tmb will not routinely wait until shooting begins to release the money and nor will it insist on a completion bond in every case.
The project is being led by Kirsty Bell, a film specialist and chartered tax adviser at Nyman Libson Paul, herself a producer.
“Producers are under massive financial pressure in the early stages of making a movie. More and more, agents and other contractors want money up front,” Bell noted. “What Tmb allows producers to do is to borrow against the money that everyone knows will flow back into the project in the late stages via Film Tax Credits and Vat.”

Xclusive: Sunshine on Leith star to lead feature from producer Stephen Malit.
Peter Mullan is to star as a homeless man in new drama Victor, which is set to shoot in the UK for five weeks from Feb 3.
Sunshine on Leith and Tyrannosaur star Mullan will play a homeless man who, after living on motorways for years, sets out on a road trip incorporating Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool and London.
While he encounters cruelty and indifference, he also finds compassion and generosity, friendship and humour. As his journey nears its end, the past he has been trying to escape finally catches up with him.

Exclusive: Tale of homeless man trying to reconnect with his estranged family is shooting now.
Udi has picked up international sales on Hector, starring Peter Mullan as a long-term homeless man who attempts to reconnect with his past life.

London -- Julien Temple's music doc "Oil City Confidential" is lined up to rock the aisles in theaters in a one-off deal that heralds the beginnings of an all-singing all-dancing digital distribution age.
Temple's movie, which centers on the Brit R&B band Dr Feelgood, will platform in theaters via British-based d-cinema integrator Arts Alliance Media (Aam) for one night in February next year.
Local theater goers across the country will be treated to a concert by original Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson and his band of ex-Blockhead musicians beamed live into digital screens from Koko in London, with a special red carpet introduction by Temple himself and a screening of the film.
The movie house event is also promising "special guests drawn from the directorial career" of Temple.
