Under this scheme, the equity investor floated cash flow to make the movie. They would recoup their $5 million investment, plus a 20 percent premium — so, $6 million goes to the investor. The sales agent would also take a 10 percent fee from the sale; that’s $700,000. From the $7 million sale, that leaves $300,000 to split between the investor and the filmmakers.

I get why the investor is getting that split at the end that I’ve emphasized, but put in these terms it reads as such a clear dick move, and this is supposed to be a rosy scenario. Like they recoup their investment with an additional million on top, and they want a cut of what little’s left to the creatives? As if they need another $150k when they’re out there floating millions for productions. 😒

One can only imagine how much worse the real terms are if this is anything close to okay terms for indie productions.

Great stuff! Thanks again to everyone working on this!

Updated and appreciate the work!

Noticed a couple things that feel like bugs though: the first collections screen now displays a redundant blank collections folder, which when entered has duplicates of whatever collections you have from the first screen.

Second, when viewing a specific collection of shows, it displays the show folders interspersed between all the episodes of said shows.

Expected display behavior is one’s collection folders, then when a show collection folder is opened, the show folders but not the episodes unless the folder is opened to view them (or a display setting is chosen to view all episodes from all the shows).

Checked server settings to make sure I hadn’t mucked something up and everything on its end looks okay, same as ever.
