Active Investor for Horror Film

I am the head of a Chicago based company that is in the process of putting together a principal protected fund for media finance that protects an investor's principal 100%, exclusive of upside potential in all international medias (theatrical, cable, DVD, pay per view, etc).

There is ripe window of opportunity for independently financed films as exemplified with the recent success of such films as Napoleon Dynamite (made for $250,000, sold for $5 million, made $50 million at b.o.), Garden State, Open Water, Maria Full of Grace, SAW (made for $750,000, made $60 million), as well as the phenomenal success of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". The major studios are drying up in terms of producing product in-house and are aggressively looking to buy films made independently.

The CEOS and execs of companies such as Fred Smith of FEDEX, Norman Waitt of Gateway, former Chicago bulls co-owner Jim Stern, Jeff Skoll of Ebay, Sidney Kimmel of Jones Apparel Group, Minnesota Twins owner Bill Pohlad, Roger Marino of EMC, Marc Turtletaub of The Money Store, Marc Cuban/Todd Wagner, real estate developers Tom Rosenberg, Bob Yari, and numerous private equity firms are all actively financing films .

I am looking to partner up with a similar individual who either recently sold his/her company, exited one with a large severance pay, is perhaps bored, and has always secretly wanted to be in the movie business for tax, vanity, or alternative investment reasons with someone who is ethical.

Please be sincere and a verifiable high net worth investor.

I have a stand alone opportunity for several separate horror films as well as a larger deal that encompasses a principal protected fund that will finance 4-6 films.
