Company Description

Sceneclips is an exclusive film industry and film investors network that connects the motion picture industry. We make it easier for filmmakers to find financing by connecting them with high net worth individuals, film distribution companies, and motion picture studios. Sceneclips creates the most comprehensive film industry network to solve the industry’s problems.

Exposure:

Many artists possess talent, but suffer from a lack of exposure because they have poor or no representation. Sceneclips solves this problem, exposing artists to their enablers: investors, distributors, casting directors, producers, and directors.

Networking:

Relationships are everything. Sceneclips connects artists with their peers, employers, and investors in an exclusive film industry network. We help develop and maintain professional relationships.

The Sceneclips Strategy

The business of show business is suffering. The industry is paralyzed by a lack of creative and original content. Filmmakers do not have the capital to finance and distribute their films. Artists suffer from a lack of exposure, and the casting system provides a narrow view of talent. These problems plague the motion picture industry resulting in the best stories never being told, leaving studios to produce remakes and sequels of sequels simply because they work. Filmmaking is the greatest form of storytelling that exists, so many brilliant minds and exceptional talents go unseen.

Sceneclips believes that for every aspiring artist looking for their break, there is an investor looking to capitalize on it.  Our ability to expose talent and deliver superior content expands the scope of artists available to employers and provides viable investment opportunities high net worth individuals, film distribution companies, and major motion picture studios.  Sceneclips’ proprietary industry marketplace allows independent film investors to capitalize on our content, changing the way films are bought, sold and financed.

The motion picture industry is in poor health.  Sceneclips anticipates a period of contraction.  Increasing bandwidth and broadband inception have resulted in the emergence of new content delivery platforms over the Internet.  This turmoil has caused studios to tighten their budgets and limit their investments while seeking alternative business models to capitalize on this change.

Sceneclips is in a unique position to take advantage of this problem. Our business model benefits as a result of capital seeking alternative avenues for TV and film investment.  The specialized service presents the opportunity for long-term growth in the motion picture industry.  Sceneclips will leverage the internet as a tool to find an cultivate our customers, growing to a far greater capacity outside of the internet.
