 About
cineFinance
cineFinance is an international
motion picture completion guarantor, providing the highest level
of professionalism, security, and client service. We have distinguished
ourselves by providing creative solutions to what has become an
increasingly complex business landscape.
Over the years, cineFinance has become adept at servicing both modest
budget productions as well as large-scale projects that involved
complex financing and/or distribution arrangements. Together with
our roster of international production consultants, we offer value-added
services tailored to the needs of our clients.
Service and Solutions
cineFinance is a wholly owned subsidiary of HCC
Insurance Holdings, Inc. In addition to our increased insurance
capacity, we are able to issue bonds directly from HCC, not requiring insurance “cut-through”
provisions.
By understanding the complex components of today’s independent
film financing landscape, cineFinance can fully service and accommodate
international co-productions, tax financing structures and regional
subsidy programs, and facilitate a producer’s access and ability
to finalize his production financing competitively and promptly.
Through longstanding worldwide relationships with insurers, financiers,
producers, and distributors, cineFinance is able to access expertise
often not directly available to a film’s producers. Based
in Los Angeles, with associates in New York, Paris, Sydney and Hong
Kong, cineFinance brings extensive international experience in all
aspects of film risk management, motion picture packaging,
production, financing and distribution
Day to day operations are run by Fred Milstein, former senior motion
picture agent with The William Morris Agency, head of production
and acquisitions for Miramax, and Vice President at The Completion
Bond Company.
