A vertically integrated film fund
Producer. Financier. Equity investor. Under one roof.
MatchCut shapes the project before we underwrite it, so the portfolio we build is one we help design, not one we inherit. Capital arrives with a grant strategy, a location analysis, a script consultation and a sales packaging plan.
Most film capital arrives after the creative decisions have been made. MatchCut arrives before. The alpha in film finance sits upstream of the financing decision, and capturing it requires being in the room before the script is locked, not after.

Why we build this way
Three undervalued levers in screen finance.
These levers are not exotic. They are the obvious things. The point is that obvious things consistently get under-resourced when capital and production sit in different firms with different incentives. Vertical integration is our structural recognition that production craft is the most underpriced source of return in screen finance.
01
Grant & incentive architecture
From ~40% to ~65% non-dilutive.
Producer Offset plus state attraction grants plus regional uplifts plus official co-production structuring plus Screen Australia development. Stacked correctly, the non-dilutive component of a budget moves from around 40 percent to 60 or 65 percent of total cost.
02
Selective location strategy
8-15% budget uplift.
Location is a budget decision with a creative consequence, not the other way around. Shooting the same script in Queensland versus Victoria versus Western Australia changes QAPE, state grants, regional uplifts, crew rates and tax timing. We model the trade-offs before greenlight.
03
Script maturity
The highest-ROI activity in the value chain.
The single largest predictor of a film’s commercial outcome is whether the script was ready when production began. Most independent films shoot too early because the financing close forces it. We bring the editorial discipline to insist on additional drafts before greenlight.
