Welcome To FilmProfit®

What they do..

Our filmmaker clients typically arrive here during their process of preparing a film project or projects for successful funding. Our finance clients typically arrive here seeking to find strategies for successful motion picture or media investments.

Our nearly twenty years of experience have gone into building the most thorough customized business plans a producer or financier can achieve. We approach business plan documentation in a modular fashion. These modules are the "heavy lifting" parts of a business planning and greenlighting process: including:

market analysis
audience analysis
comparable pictures studies
projections
strategic planning
and more...

Based on our years of ingesting and analyzing the specific details of film and media business structure and the macro and micro-economics of film and media performance, we can offer you individual high quality modules, or in-depth guidance and money and time-saving packages and plans.

"It is the best business plan for a movie or movies I have ever seen in my life. Except, only, the business plan for Disney's Silver Screen Partners."
Patrick Wells, Producer, I Love You to Death, Youngblood, The Personals

"Our experience with Jeffrey Hardy, FilmProfit, and Big Horse Incorporated was superb. Jeffrey is friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with his time and expertise. Our company needed a full business plan with comparative movie report and ROI analysis in a short timeframe and Jeffrey delivered a plan that had us floored. One of our prospective investors, a well-known independent film bank owner, said it was the best business plan he had ever seen and this guy's been in the business for more than forty years.

"Jeffrey consulted on the business strategy for our film and offered indispensable wisdom on structuring the market placement and budgeting of the film. We are indebted to him. Thanks Jeffrey!"
Eric Badros and Woven Pictures

News & Updates

June 25th, 2007

Big Horse Inc. is currently undergoing a process to fully integrate all of its services and offerings under the single banner of FilmProfit(r). Because of this our bighorse.com domain will now begin to bring all of its visitors to this website, filmprofit.com. If you have come here from there, welcome, and come on in!

We will continue to operate our FilmDependent Free Learning site, but it will be functioning more like a blog as we go forward.

Sweet Land is now in theaters. When we first read the script for Sweet Land and started working on the project in 2002, it was called Quiet Breathing. We liked the quiet and strong story, and we liked working with Ali and his cohorts in building their financing package, including our Markets Report, Comparable Pictures Report and a Core Audience Analysis. Now the film is out, and receiving very nice reviews. Check out the Sweet Land Review in The Village Voice.

In an effort to speed up and simplify how web site visitors learn about our products and services, and in how they can transact with us, we are in the process of revamping all of our web sites.

We are also working hard on our Comparable Pictures database. We currently have more than 1300 of our available 1750 film titles searchable online. here to check out the current List of Available Titles. All of these titles can be ordered as our in-depth ROI Reports.
