UPCOMING

In this upcoming episode, we welcome Joshua Harris, President and Managing Partner of Peachtree Media Partners, to discuss the evolving landscape of film finance. Harris explains how his fund utilizes private capital to meet the booming global demand for content through a unique lending model.

Lending vs. Investing: Harris distinguishes Peachtree as a film finance lender that secures loans against collateral like tax incentives and pre-sales, rather than an equity investor.

Risk Mitigation: The fund utilizes a “triple layer” of protection, involving completion guarantees from bond companies and back-leverage from large commercial banks.
