Studio Canal previously distributed the similar low-budget British film "The Kill List", while Universal distributed the 2004 remake of "Dawn of the Dead", which also had female leads and a similar target audience. The student concludes that Studio Canal would be the better choice as it focuses on the UK market, limiting financial risk, and they could do their own social media marketing as a low-budget film.

3. RISK STATEMENT
Investment in the film industry is highly speculative and inherently risky. There
can be no assurance of the economic success of any motion picture since the
revenues derived from the Production and distribution of a motion picture depend
primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. The
commercial success of a motion picture also depends upon the quality and
acceptance of other competing films released into the marketplace at or near the
same time, general economic factors and other tangible and intangible factors, all
of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty.
The entertainment industry in general, and the motion picture industry in
particular, are continuing to undergo significant changes, including declining
theatrical attendance, primarily due to technological developments. Although
these developments have resulted in the availability of alternative and competing
forms of entertainment, such technological developments have also resulted in the
creation of additional revenue sources through licensing of rights to new media,
and potentially could lead to future reductions in the costs of producing and
distributing motion pictures. In addition, the theatrical success of a motion picture
remains a crucial factor in generating revenues in other media such as DVDs,
videocassettes, and television. Due to the rapid growth of technology, shifting
consumer tastes, and the popularity and availability of other forms of
entertainment, it is impossible to predict the overall effect these factors will have
on the potential revenue from and profitability of feature length
Motion pictures.
DEVIL MAY CARE is a feature-length motion picture project itself in the
organizational stage and is subject to all the risks involved in the creation and
development of a new business, including the absence of a history of operations
and minimal net worth. In order to prosper, the success of DEVIL MAY CARE
will depend partly upon the ability of the production team to produce a film of
exceptional quality at a lower cost that can compete in appeal with higher-
budgeted films of the same genre. In order to minimize this risk, the production
team plans to mitigate financial risks where possible. Fulfilling this goal depends
on the timing of investor financing, the ability to obtain distribution contracts with
satisfactory terms, and the continued participation of the current production team.

4. MISSION STATEMENT
DEVIL MAY CARE LLC and the producers will produce a romantic comedy with the high
artistic and production quality of a studio film, but a fraction of the cost. By keeping the film
independent it allows for a much more streamline production with less waste and more Profit
sharing.
The production company will release it through distributors such as Lions Gate in a significant
number of theaters across North America and around the world to all viable markets and
platforms, earning a profit for our investors.
We are also implementing a few new approaches, which will minimize and better insure the
return of investment for the investors and the Production. One of these is to keep the total
budget around 18 million dollars, the revenue of DVD sales alone can bring more than that from
international sales and licensing. Basically the revenue generated from theaters worldwide will
be almost completely pure profit.

6. THE SNYOPSIS
They say that love can move mountains, but can it save the soul of the most evil and maligned –
and impeccably dressed - monster ever created?
And is there a woman on earth who is so pure, loving and amazing that she can make the Devil
want to throw off his infernal kingdom and actually become a better person?
All these questions are answered in The Dev il May Care, a sweet yet controversial,
supernatural romantic comedy that explores questions of love, dating, Heaven & Hell, and
everything humorous in between.
In our story, a listless Lucifer, bored with the ease at which humans can be tempted in these
modern times, discovers Grace - a woman who could be the last remaining pure soul on earth.
He promptly sets off to tempt, corrupt and ultimately capture her soul for all eternity, filed away
in a never-ending warehouse of cheaply made filing cabinets.
Lucifer gets to borrow the body of a man for a week to go to earth (in the guise of the most
handsome, suave and wealthy businessman in the world). But once he arrives and comes face to
face with the beautiful, kind-hearted yet spirited Grace, he gets more than he bargained for, as
she’s not so easily impressed, and has a few secrets of her own. Plus, her co-worker Gene has
his sweater vest-wrapped heart set on Grace as well, which only adds to the romantic and
tactical competition the Devil must face.
As Lucifer woos her in grand fashion, he finds himself actually falling for this surprising and
elusive woman, and in the process, he discovers that he actually wants to improve himself as a
fallen angel, showing the transformative power of love. Hell, Lucifer even gets in touch with
his LONG estranged Father to ask for advice, which leads the Devil to new and unexpected
places.
Who controls whom? Is he trying to tempt her, or is she trying to save him? And just what can
love make possible?
All is found out, while The Dev il May Care.

8. VISUAL CONCEPT - Statement from the director
DEVIL MAY CARE is a perfect story to tell in the cinema.
This story is commercial yet intellectual and heartfelt. It’s a fun and tragic love story, full of
suspense and humor. The characters are rich and complex and the dialogue is very sharp and
witty, appealing to actors of every strip.
My vision is to shoot it using digital color correction and generating a look of rich, saturated
colors. The palette would be enhanced with the selection of colorful locations and costumes. My
suggestion is to use colors in the shades of red like burgundy and purple.
The characters are super rich in complexity and the dialogues smart and elegant. The structure
of the movie resides in the suspense to know if our hero will conquer his muse or not.
The camera moves should accompany the emotions of the characters and the music score of the
film will have plenty of cords in a super romantic tone for moments and other funny melodies
speeding up the transitions and enhancing the humor.
The cinematography will be of soft lighting to make everything warm and lush. Wide lens will
be used for comedic effect, long lens for beauty shoots as the camera moves smoothly. The
editing will vary according to pacing of the scene, which quick cuts for back and forth banter,
and longer scenes for more dramatic, visual, slower moments that need to be savored. The
production design will be charged with touches that are slightly exaggerated and grotesque.
Reference films to watch: Amelie, Moulin Rouge, Frida and Memoirs of a Geisha. The
secondary characters and extras should have Fellini-like comedic faces, expressions and garb.
The entire film will be set in fluid motion, with artistic flourishes and creative, visual
transitions.

17. FINANCIAL PLAN
DEVIL MAY CARE, LLC is addressing the need for capitalization with the following two-part
approach: Company Structure and Project Investing.
Profit Distribution and Sharing:
The profits from the project will be distributed to the cast, crew, Production Company and
especially the Investors based on a phased-distribution plan. Once a project is completed and
taken to the market, the gross income for that project will be distributed in a fashion that
reimburses the Investors first. In the “Pre-Profit Phase”, 90% of the LLC gross income will be
returned directly to the Investors until they have received an amount equivalent to their original
investment plus a profit of 20%. The remaining 10% is given to the LLC for ongoing
management.
Once the Investors have received their original investment and profit (breakeven), the ratio of
gross-income distribution changes. The gross income is distributed as a 50-50 split, with 50%
going to the Investors and the remaining 50% given to the LLC. Of the 50% given to the LLC
after the breakeven point, 25% is used to pay the profit points of the cast and crew that were
negotiated at the beginning of the project. The remaining 25% will be given to the LLC for
distribution. Note that the 25% for the cast and crew is an estimate. The negotiated points for a
project may be more or less than 25%.
This profit-distribution plan offers three distinct advantages. First, it pays the Investors from
first proceeds. Next, it rewards the cast and crew on the success of the individual film. Finally,
it provides vested interest the opportunity for a fair return in the event the film has very high
success. Although no success (or even return of the original investment) is guaranteed for any
film, the planning for such success must be a part of any business plan.
DEV IL MA Y CA RE Confidential Memorandum 16
19. PROFIT PROJECTION
The following table describes several scenarios of potential revenue, return on investment (ROI)
and profit. Note that this is not a guarantee of return, but merely an analysis of ROI based on
potential gross revenue from distribution sources throughout the life of the films release. The
actual returns for DEVIL MAY CARE may be different.
This analysis was completed based on a total investment of $18,000,000 and the three scenarios
laid out in the Projections section. This table also emphasizes the breakeven point the point
where the revenue received by the Investors matches their original investment plus 20%. At
this point, the revenue distribution changes from 90%-10% (Investor-LLC) split to one of 50%-
50%.
