Creators FAQ

  • We provide up to $5M through a loan per project to help you finance and deliver your film or TV production. Our model is designed to give creators access to funding without losing ownership of their content.

    • Pitch Deck / Look Book

    • Script

    • Budget

    • Any LOIs or Agreements with Talent, Director, Producers & Sales Agents

    • Letter Of Intent or Pre-Approvals (Tax Credit, Grants, Pre-Sales, Distribution Agreements and/or MG, Completion Bond, Keyman Policy etc.)

    • Funding Documents - (Financial Plan, Investor Agreements, Approved Grants, Crowdfunding/In-kind Contributions, Product Placement Deals Etc.)

    • Additional Information

  • Once submitted, your materials go through a structured review process to assess:

    • Project viability (budget, team, creative strength)

    • Financial projections (based on comparable titles, talent, and sales potential)

    • Repayment source strength

    • Risk profile and funding structure

  • To protect all parties, we require that your repayment sources have been confirmed in writing before funds are released.

    These may include:

    • Tax credits

    • Minimum guarantees (MGs)

    • Pre-sales

    • Product placement agreements

    • Grants & In-kind contributions

  • Your funding is secured through a full risk-mitigation structure, designed to ensure delivery and protect your opportunity.

    Here’s how we help protect your production:

    • Government-backed incentives

    • Completion Bond – Ensures the project is delivered on time and on budget

    • Keyman Insurance Policy – Protects against loss of essential talent

    • Cash Value via Keyman Policy – IWP contributes if repayment sources are weak

    • SPV Structure + Milestone-Based Disbursement – Ensures funds are controlled and released as you hit key production steps

  • Capital is disbursed only after all protections are in place and your contracts. This includes legal review, insurance binding, fund control setup, and approval from IWP’s underwriting team.

    • You gain access to significant production capital that is insured with a government incentive

    • You retain ownership of your IP
