Project Management Team

- an explanation

We have a strategic alliance with Searchlight Recruitment Ltd.  Searchlight Recruitment are recruitment consultants, working exclusively in and around the broadcast, film and music sectors. Searchlight specialise in recruitment for managerial and executive level roles and have an impressively qualified team along with an impressive client list. 

MANAGEMENT TEAM: I have often been asked why I have not included a detailed management team as is found in most so-called well prepared Business Plans. The answer is extremely important to a full understanding to my approach. The motion picture and theme park industry is one with some of the HIGHEST SALARY LEVELS of any business enterprise in the world today. This is an industry were "MONEY TALKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE WALKS." To approach studio or industry leaders PRIOR to total funding for the project being in the bank and guaranteed good would be to invite disaster! The VERY FIRST question I would be asked when I approach management leaders would be "IS THIS A FUNDED PROJECT." The SECOND QUESTION I would most likely be asked is "HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU WILLING TO OFFER AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO PUT UP FRONT TO CLOSE A DEAL?" Unless I have the funding in the bank and guaranteed good, I would likely be thrown out the office door and my project right behind me! I CAN and I WILL put together one of the finest management teams in the history of the motion picture and entertainment industry, but this must be done from a POSITION OF POWER AND STRENGTH and that means having the total funding in the bank and ready to go. Once we have our financing in place I can negotiate for some of the top management leaders in the entertainment world today. Not just those here in the United States, but THE VERY TOP MANAGEMENT TALENT from around the world. This is the right and proper way to go about setting the management team up and it is extremely important to follow this procedure exactly. Investment and financial sources will need to understand this since it is the heart of any successful venture in the entertainment industry. While I could, of course, go out now and put a management team together this would most likely cost several hundred thousand dollars or more to insure that I was able to secure only the very top talent in the industry. Even then, it would prove most unlikely that all of the members would be available and ready to go once funding was actually in place to begin. Also, please keep in mind that much of this management team would not even be needed until approximate 4 or 5 years into development of the project. I repeat that THE ONLY WAY to approach a management team is from a very strong POSITION OF POWER AND STRENGTH and only money in the TOTAL AMOUNT NEEDED TO FUND THE ENTIRE PROJECT WOULD REPRESENT THAT POWER AND STRENGTH!

We currently have an experienced and highly qualified potential President of Distribution. This important element of our overall team is assisting us at present

Finally, this is a project so very vast that many individual investment and financial sources are likely to have a difficult time understanding every single component and our approach to each of them as well as our overall strategy. Yet, I believe a thorough and complete understanding by all investors or financial sources to be absolutely necessary in order to obtain sufficient interest to fully fund a project of this level. To accomplish this end I will make myself available to meet with any group of investors or financial sources for a mini-seminar to go over everything about the project in extreme detail and to answer every question as thoroughly and completely as possible so that each and every investor or financial source will feel comfortable with both the project and our creative and management approach.

Interested investment or financial groups should either contact my office directly.

Should you have any specific questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to call upon me directly.
