Definition
- "Active Investor"
An
"active Investor" is a person or company that invests money
into a film, television, or music project, but who also takes an active
role in the production process. In a film production, the producer or
executive producer is often an active investor, because the producer or
executive producer may invest funds into the production but are also
actively engaged in the production of the film.
Any
participant in a film, television, or music project can be an active
investor, from the producers, executive producers, directors, writers,
actors and artists, to the directors of photography, line producers, and
other crew.
Contrary
to popular misconceptions, the amount of money being raised is not the
critical issue. Millions of dollars are raised and invested everyday by
major studios, networks and producers in active investor structures,
while even raising $5,000.00 or $10,000.00 could require the help of a
licensed entertainment securities lawyer if raised from passive
investors.
