Barbarian Films, LLC has announced a strategic alliance with SandDollar Capital LLC, a private equity firm founded by The Hennessee Group principals Charles Gradante and E. Lee Hennessee.
SandDollar Capital LLC structures financing from professional investors and institutional sources on behalf of Private Equity funds.
Barbarian Films, LLC is an investment fund founded by a trio of long-time entertainment insiders that invests in structured independently produced film platforms.
“The increased global demand for film products and new methods of media exploitation have created increased acquisition interest and inflated prices paid for high-quality independently produced film products,” says Aaron Kaufman, Managing Member of Barbarian Films.
SandDollar Capital LLC’s Charles Gradante adds: “We have seen consistent interest from individual investors, funds and institutions for non-correlated alternative investments. We see film investment as a logical solution however for some time were unable to find the right business model that would offer engaging returns while effectively managing the downside risks typically associated with film investment.”
