Introduction
The UK film industry is a valuable part of
the British economy and has doubled its
GDP in the past 20 years in real terms.
Extensive market research
has shown that despite
the recent recession in the
UK, the film industry has
continued to thrive. There are
a number of UK films which
have become mass market
hits, generating a huge
profit such as Skyfall and
Harry Potter.
The UK remains the third
largest consumer market for
filmed entertainment in the
world, with an 11% share of
the global box office market.
According to the British Film
Institute statistical yearbook
2014, the UK is predicted to
overtake Japan by 2018.
The British Film Industry has
received a large number
of awards for British film
talent, according to Viscount
Younger of Leckie, the
minister
for
intellectual
property “British creativity is
highly marketable, awardwinning and sought after. Our
creative industries that draw
on it are among the most
influential and successful
in the world, contributing
£71.4 billion per year to the
UK economy.”
At Red Rock Entertainment,
film is at the heart of what we
do, working in conjunction
with a number of UK film
production companies to
raise equity for independent
film projects.
Red Rock Entertainment offer
a number of film investment
opportunities
including:
Private Equity, Distribution
and EIS/SEIS. Our investors
will benefit from uncapped
upside potential and the
availability of EIS Tax Loss
Relief to help diminish
downside risk.

TV and Distribution.
T
he Production and

We
also
arrange
film
investment
seminars
here at Elstree with guest
speakers from the different
film companies, along with
qualified accountants who
can discuss the various tax
advantages of investing in the
film industry.
Our directors attend all the
major Film Festivals and
Film Markets including: The
American Film Market, Berlin
International Film Festival
and Cannes International
Film Festival, ensuring that
we keep up to date with the
latest film trends.
What we do
A
n executive producer is someone who has either
personally funded or arranged the funding for a motion
picture or television show.
Making a television show, or film can be a costly process and
so the Executive Producer essentially acts as the financial
backer, helping the production to raise the extra finances it
needs to get to the distribution stage.
On the film/television set our main role is to ensure that
the project is proceeding according to the set schedule
and budget.
Although as an Executive Producer we don’t have
control over how the film is executed we do have a
say in anything which may affect the films schedule
or marketability.
What we
Look for
in a Film
Project
R
ed Rock Entertainment specialise in films. We mainly
work with film projects which are at an advanced stage
and are looking for the final amount of financing.
We focus on film projects that have a commercial appeal, an
identifiable audience, moderately low and controllable costs
and a sound financial structure.
We also require that certain elements are in place before we
will commit to any film project.

wound, his boss, the editor of CQ, wants him to interview the greatest comedians in the UK and
North America for an upcoming comedy special, with the added caveat that he must secure an
interview with the ever-elusive Dustin Langer, the world’s greatest stand up, or the promotion is off

In a darker age, superstition overrules common sense and faith is tested to its limit. Amid
such darkness, the currency is fear and suspicion. At the heart of our story is a young woman,
Persephone. Her past is a mystery that we feel compelled to discover. Her present, in contrast,
cannot be clearer as we find Persephone accused of the murder of her master and mistress;
her apparently devoted employers and protectors. Surely only supernatural forces in this age of

EIS Investments
In the UK there are two kinds of government sponsored investment schemes, offering generous
tax benefits to investors, The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and The Seed Enterprise
Investment Scheme (SEIS). These were set up by the government to make it easier for investors
to invest in small high risk businesses which are not listed on the stock exchange.
Enterprise Investment Scheme
The EIS scheme was
introduced by the government
in 1994 with a main
objective to help small UK
companies raise capital from
private investors.
Whilst investing in EIS is not
without risks, the incentives
for investors looking at tax
planning opportunities are
attractive, these benefits
include:
Income Tax Relief
You can claim a tax rebate (30% of the amount in which you have invested) on the income
you have paid in the last year or on tax which you still owe in the current tax year. Relief can
be claimed up to a maximum of £1,000,000 invested in such shares, giving a maximum tax
reduction in any one year of £300,000 providing you have sufficient Income Tax liability to
cover it.
28 About Red Rock Entertainment | Current and Projects Previous
EIS Investments
Capital Gains Tax
If the investment is a success and you make a profit on the sale of your shares you will be
exempt from Capital Gains Tax on the amount of profit you have made.
If you have any Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax liability to pay in the current or next tax year
or if you have paid either of these in the last 2/3 years you can claw back or defer tax equivalent
to 28% of the capital you have invested in the EIS film.
EIS
Capital Gains Tax Deferral
The payment of tax on a capital gain can be
deferred where the gain is invested in shares
of an EIS qualifying company.
The gain can arise from the disposal of any
kind of asset, but the investment must be
made within the period one year before or
three years after the gain arose. There are no
minimum or maximum amounts for deferral.
There is no minimum period for which the
shares must be held; the deferred capital
gain is brought back into charge whenever
the shares are disposed of, or are deemed
to have been disposed of under the
EIS legislation.
www.redrockentertainment.com 29
SEIS Investments
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) complements the existing Enterprise Investment
Scheme (EIS), offering a range of tax reliefs to individual investors who purchase shares in small,
early stage companies. SEIS is intended to recognise the particular difficulties which very early
stage companies face in attracting investment, by offering tax relief at a higher rate than that
offered by the existing EIS.
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme
As with an EIS investment,
you can reclaim a percentage
(50%) of the cost of your
investment against your
Income Tax liability for the tax
year in which the investments
were made.
The maximum you can invest
through SEIS in any tax year
is £100,000. As with EIS
there is no Capital Gains Tax,
Inheritance Tax or Loss Relief
Tax to be paid on an SEIS
investment opportunity.
SEIS
Income Tax Relief
Income Tax Relief is available to you if you
subscribe for qualifying shares in a company
which meets the SEIS requirements, and if
you have UK tax liability against which to set
the relief.
However, there are some rules: Your shares
must be held for a period of 3 years from
date of issue for relief to be retained.
If they are disposed of within that 3 year
period, or if any of the qualifying conditions
cease to be met during that period, relief will
be withdrawn or reduced. Relief is available
at 50% of the cost of the shares, on a
maximum annual investment of £100,000.
The relief is given by way of a reduction of tax
liability, providing there is sufficient tax liability
against which to set it.
A claim to relief can be made up to 5 years
after the 31st January following the tax year in
which the investment was made.
30 About Red Rock Entertainment | Current and Projects Previous
SEIS Investments
Who can Participate in SEIS?
For connected shareholders Income Tax Relief and the CGT exemption are not
normally available. Connection may be by financial interest or by employment with
the company. Financial interest occurs where the subscriber and their associates
(such as parents, children and business partners) control more than 30% of
the company.
Employment includes directorships and also precludes the employment of associates.
However there is an exemption for business angels who become Directors.The above
is set out as a brief guide online, Red Rock Entertainment are not financial advisors,
as with any investment or tax related issue it is important that you seek advice from a
financial advisor.
Now the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme has become one of the most revered
government-backed schemes ever created.
Some of the most important points to consider are:
SEIS investors can place a maximum of £100,000 in
a single tax year, which can be spread over a number
of companies.
The Seed Enterprise
Investment Scheme
(SEIS) offers great tax
efficient benefits to
investors in return for
investment in small and
early stage start-up
businesses in the UK.
SEIS was designed to
boost economic growth
in the UK by promoting
new enterprise and
entrepreneurship.
The scheme was
introduced in the
Chancellor George
Osborne’s 2011 Autumn
Statement which
heralded a big shake
up of tax incentives
for investors, with the
Enterprise Investment
Schemes and Venture
Capital Trusts also
being revamped.
A company can raise no more than £150,000 in total via
SEIS investment.
Investors cannot control the company receiving their
capital, and must not hold more than a 30% stake in the
company in which they invest.
The company seeking investment must be based in
the UK, and have a permanent establishment in the
British Isles.
The company must have fewer than 25 employees. If the
company is the parent company of a group, that figure
applies to the whole group.
The company must be no more than two years old, and
have assets of less than £200,000.
50% Tax Relief for current or previous Tax Year (from date of
Share Certificate).
50% Capital Gains write off from current Tax Year No
Inheritance Tax after 2 years.
No Income Tax or Capital Gains on any Profits.
Loss Relief on any monies lost at your current tax rate.
Monies must remain in the company for 3 years to benefit from
the above.
