Hollywood Films Come to Guernsey in Fund First

A new film fund launched by a local investment manager is believed to be the first investment fund established in Guernsey to specifically invest in film production, marketing and distribution.

Confiance Fund Services Limited has worked closely with UK-based investment adviser High Fliers Film plc and local law firm AO Hall as legal adviser to launch Confiance Film Products PCC Limited which will invest in both big budget and small budget movies.

"Financing films is always a delicate balance between the various parties involved in making the film and bringing it successfully to its target audience. You need to work with people who understand the film industry and have the relevant experience," said Richard Garrod, director of Confiance Fund Services Limited.
