Innovating
distribution.
eighteen88 secures collateralized debt and orchestrates distribution for independent film productions — bridging the gap between financiers, producers, and the screens that matter.
We underwrite the picture,
not the deck.
Every facility begins with the film itself: the screenplay, the talent attached, the territories sold, the tax credits earned. Collateral is built from what already exists — not from optimistic projections.
We close in weeks, not quarters. Our partners are patient, entertainment-native, and indifferent to vanity terms. The work is to make the math elegant and the recoupment honest.

Five ways
we underwrite.
Collateralized Debt
Senior facilities secured against tax credits, pre-sales, and library — typically $3M to $40M per picture.
Print & Advertising
Bridge capital for theatrical release, deployed alongside distributor commitments and minimum guarantees.
Gap & Bridge
Short-duration capital to close the financing stack while sales agents complete territory cycles.
Distribution Strategy
Window architecture, sales advisory, and partner introduction across theatrical, streaming, and ancillary.
Opportunistic Approach
Gap capital underwritten against remaining P&A or distribution needs, assessed on the specifics of each deal.
