Markit Productions

Most independent films don't fail in production. They fail before a single frame is shot.

After raising over $20M across independent films, I've seen it happen more times than I can count — talented producers with brilliant projects, undone by financing they never cracked.

That's why I wrote "Financing Your Film Without Losing Your Mind" — a producer's guide built specifically for the post-COVID, post-strikes reality we're all navigating right now.

Not theory. Not a film school syllabus. Field intelligence from someone actively closing deals in today's market.

Inside, you'll find the strategies I wish someone had handed me at the start:

— Why 199 rejections before a single "yes" isn't failure — it's the process
— How to structure tax credits so a £4M film requires just £2.8M in equity
— What kills most investor pitches in the first 30 seconds (and how to fix it)
— The psychology behind investor decisions — the part they'll never tell you
— A framework for closing your financing in 60 days, not years

If you're serious about getting your film made, this is the book for it.

Education | MARKIT PRODUCTIONS Democratizing information and access for all.

Something I’ve wanted to build for a long time is now live.

The Markit Productions Education Division.

Over nearly a decade as a producer, I’ve learned that the most important knowledge in this industry — how films are really financed, packaged, sold, and distributed; what actually determines a career — is almost never shared openly.

I want to change that.

Three tiers are now available:

🔍 THE REALITY (£29) — The entry point. An honest look at the realities of this industry that most people discover far too late.

📚 THE FILMMAKER’S BLUEPRINT (£199) — Six modules covering the complete landscape: industry truth, market positioning, slate strategy, packaging, film finance, and career longevity.

⭐ INNER CIRCLE (£997/year) — Our premium tier. Monthly live sessions with me directly, personal project feedback, access to the Markit network, and first-look opportunities on our active slate.

This is built for anyone in film and television — actors, directors, writers, producers — who wants to understand the full picture and build with real strategy.
