Mirror Dog Productions is a “Green” Production Company with High Standards and takes great pride in the Entertainment content we produce and support.
MDP selects films for financing through a rigorous, multi-step process. Potential film projects arrive at MDP from within MDP’s internal family of writers along with a broad source of external producers, directors, agents, managers, and production companies. MDP selects the most promising projects, based primarily on the property’s creative and commercial appeal and the skill, experience and accomplishments of the associated talent. As the screenplay is the most important aspect of filmmaking, the target script is broken down and analyzed for marketability, budget, pre-production and shooting schedule, potential rating category, legal and copyright issues, insurance requirements and completion bonding considerations, among other factors. Interviews with filmmakers are conducted, a list of supporting documents are requested, reviewed or prepared, and consultations with potential distribution partners begin.
Simultaneously, a full financial, legal and accounting analysis of the independent motion picture projects with the highest potential is undertaken to identify, assess and correct any deficiencies in these areas. It is also at this stage that a slate of three (3) motion pictures to be offered to investors initially begins to take shape as projects are packaged together for maximum offering appeal. The assembling and preparation is expected to initially occur two (2) times annually (i.e., six (6) films a year) and to involve teams of various professionals both internal and external to MDP. Then the Producers and Advisors give a final “greenlight” only after there is complete assurance the independent motion picture will generate a profit return.
