FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 22, 2008 -- With the world’s nations flirting with an economic crises, Wall Street panic at an all time high, and hedge funds and financial institutions disintegrating, New York based Elliott Associates has recently parked an additional $1 billion into Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media which will finance a large slate of Universal Pictures' films over the next few years.

And the question remains "why?" in today's economic crisis as well as the recent pull out of billions of dollars in institutional capital from the studios.

Well, Noci Pictures Entertainment (www.noci.com) a Chicago and Los Angeles film production and structured finance company thinks it may have the answer and its own opportunity with its $300 million dollar international tax advantaged structured film deal that has an option to be principally protected as well using CPPI, including a stand alone 100% principal protected Prints and Advertising Fund which will insure the Company’s U.S. theatrical distribution.

Apart from Elliott Associates, other investors including billionaires,family offices from Wall Street to Silicon Valley to the Middle East to Russia have been parking their money into Hollywood.

Anil Ambani, Larry Ellison Of Oracle, Paul Allen Of Microsoft, Steven Rales, Fred Smith of Federal Express, Norman Waitt, the Co-Founder of Gateway Computers, Jeff Skoll Of Ebay, Marc Turtletaub of The Money Store, Roger Marino Of EMC Corp, Sidney Kimmel Of Jones Apparel Group, Minnesota Twins owner Bill Pohlad; Real Estate Developers Tom Rosenberg and Bob Yari, and, financiers Sheikh Waleed Al Ibrahim, Michel Litvak, and Philip Anschutz are all behind the finance of a lot of films that range from box office hits to Academy Award winners.

Traditionally a lot of media and film funds have sunk because the equity parlayed into these deals was junior. Most of these funds have, and continue to, finance large budget studio films in the $40-$100 million dollar range with senior and mezzanine debt being first and second in position while the junior equity is usually never recouped.

Instead of dazzling investors with smoke and mirror Monte Carlo simulation models that offer various IRR's and scenarios based on unpredictable film revenues streams and junior equity to trigger senior and mezz debt,the key is to offer an absolute return on investment utilizing international and U.S. public tax incentives that in certain instances can guarantee 100% or more of invested capital prior to revenues by leveraging equity positions with non-recourse debt vs. recourse debt.

The Company is putting together a slate of films using an innovative hybrid public-private finance strategy aimed at investors who either want to take a 100% Federal deduction under Section 181 or “The American Jobs Creations Act” against their ordinary income, get an additional 20-40% in tradable and monetized state tax credits or cash rebates, have a hedge of revenues from 20-30 films, a possible exit IPO on the London AIM.
