All of SSET projects adhere to a fundamental strategy of risk mitigation, which
protects investors’ downside without capping the upside.
SSET’s strategy is to secure film packages that are fully developed and ready to be
shot. SSET moves expeditiously to secure projects where the development costs
have already been invested.
SSET has the ability to undertake financial packaging and film production quickly
without having to green light funds from third parties.
SSET formula for success is to avoid the long and arduous process often required
to script, cast, finance, and sell a project.
Unlike ,the traditional Production model, SSET does not incur costs for concept
development, securing on screen talent, and hiring production crews only to find
that they are unsuccessful in assembling funds needed to complete production and
distribution of the film.
Collaborative core team of talent whose vision is to produce and distribute
meaningful, original and highly entertaining content .
