EXECUTIVE SUMMARY What happens to the innocent ordinary man when the quest for power and control by their leaders end up on the battle field?

The Movie “When two elephants are at war, it is the grass that suffers”, so the saying goes. In “UNBREAKABLE NATION” we’ll find out how different things could have been, and how difficult it is to change the here-and-now, let alone the future. Nigeria will be 50 years old by 2010, we have every reason to celebrate the peace and unity we have enjoyed after the civil war. After seeing this picture, we may never want to relive the experience.

The Audience The picture will not only serve as a means of entertainment but a mirror of our past, showing how human lives were squandered in the name of power, control and freedom. The film is an entertaining lesson in history with a strong sense of humour so the audience will be able to accept the historical facts. Humour is a great bridge for communication. Like all truly great epic tales, the appeal of “UNBREAKABLE NATION” is universal. Like Nigeria, there are so many other countries that have gone through this episode, fighting their way to liberty through war. Some war victims, who have experienced first hand the disruptions and depredation of war, may never nurse the idea of another one. Nollywood films have become very popular amongst African-Americans and those from the Caribbean Islands. The film also has elements of British colonialist and this will add the Caucasian movie lovers to our audience. Across the Americas, there are over six million movie goers with at least some native heritage- and they are a natural audience for “UNBREAKABLE NATION”. All over Africa, there’s been a growing demand for Nigerian made films. A lot of who have become great fans of some popular Nollywood stars. Genevieve was recently hosted by Americas leading Talk Show host, Oprah Winfrey as one of the most famous African Talent.

The Deal a. Total budget for the production of “UNBREAKABLE NATION” is $10,000,000.00 b. From all profits, the investors will be paid back first with 25% returns on the value of their investment c. All payments to investors will be done 90 days after the release of the film on cinema. d. All investors will enjoy unending cash flow as long as the picture is exploited. e. Monies paid back to investors and producers will come from the universal exploitation of picture; theatrical release, DVDs, broadcast license/pay-per-view and movie sound track (if considered).

f. Any investor who puts in more than $1million will receive screen credit in the movie and attend premier screenings and after parties wherever they are held.

1.Company Background Motion Man Picture Studios is an independent film production company based in the United Kingdom which is in the process of being created as a corporation, incorporated under the laws of Nigeria for the purpose of producing high quality feature length motion picture with the working title “UNBREAKABLE NATION”. The company intends to move the film from the process of development into pre-production and production, through post-production and into distribution. Since the Company was formed by a team of industry professionals from a variety of production background, it has the potential to create a highly successful motion picture. The advantages to these are clear:

1.1.1

Mission: Our mission is to start making good quality Nollywood movies for distribution on worldwide cinema screens with perfection and generate massive profits: leading our stars to international awards.

1.1.2

Development:

A good script is vital as the basis for a successful film.

The script for the film is film based on true life events that led to the bloody three-year Nigerian civil war after independence from Great Britain from 1967 -70. This script combines familiarity and innovation in telling the story. 1.1.3

Release:

Since the film caters for a broad based audience, it is

intended for an initial cinema release in the first quarter, which will then translate into additional revenue streams in other media such as DVD, Video and Television broadcast. This means the film will have a greater chance to earn more money in the foreign market place. 1.1.4

Experience:

Because the creative team behind the project has

extensive experience within the industry, the company plans to utilize the contacts and resources available to it to produce the film at a much lower cost than what a similar film project would cost inside the studio system. By having independent status, the Company can reap the benefits available to independent productions such as discount on film stock, camera packages and film processing rates, while still allowing us to maintain the highest

production value. Like 3rd Lens is offering to provide……….. This means that the investor will benefit from a film that has the appearance of costing more than it actually does. Distributors will be more willing to negotiate a more favorable distribution fee. Odeon Cinemas in the U.K is willing to distribute our film at 25% of all ticket sales on the condition that we feature at least one or two Hollywood Star(s) and if the film is shot on 35mm film camera.

2 Management and Organization The company is being managed by a team of four individuals with long years experience in the field of film production and a project management . We also outsource some services from experts when the need arises.

2.The Film Project

2.1

Synopsis Of Script/Treatment On February 18, 1956, three years after British explorers discovered oil in the deep southern part of Nigeria, HRH Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the empire during a royal tour that brought unity among the divided Northern and Eastern politicians. By order of the Queen of England and through her message delivered and read in person by HRH Princess Alexandra of Kent, independence was granted to Nigeria on October 1, 1960. A Northern Nigerian prime minister was appointed. However, once the British rulers departed and Nigeria ceased to be a UK colony, relationships within the country began to deteriorate. On January 15, 1966, a group of military officers—mostly eastern Ibos—overthrew the government and assassinated the prime minister. Six months later, on July 29, 1966, northerners staged a counter-coup, during which the eastern military head of states was humiliated and assassinated in the jungle in the same manner as his predecessor. The actions from both sides culminated in bloody ethnic and religious clashes between the Northern Hausas and Eastern Ibos. The Northerners gained the upper hand, massacring more than 30,000 Easterners in September and October of 1966. The following year, the Northerners staged another massacre, forcing every Ibo living in the north to return to the east. Unable to resolve the conflicts or provide the Ibos security outside their region, the east voted to secede from Nigeria on May 26, 1967. Four days later, on May 30, Colonel Emeka Ojukwu—the eastern region’s military governor—announced the Republic of Biafra, citing the easterners killed in the post-coup violence. However, the bloodshed did not end there. The disagreements led to a war that lasted three years and took the lives of over 1 million Biafrans. Dr. Roberts and Anne Franklin - a missionary American couple running a hospital in the east was caught up in the horrors of war. Facing starvation, their food supply to the east was cut off by the Nigerians throughout the war until the Biafran army finally surrendered to save themselves from starvation. The damages appear irreparable.

Writer

Writer: Sunny Ache, a Nigerian is a creative script writer and film maker/developer of television programmes over the past few years. He has 3 books published in the U.K in 200…: Tough Women, … Reason Behind the Research: Almost 50 years after gaining independence, ethnic and religious clashes still occur in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Chief among these clashes is the Nigerian-Biafran war—a largely avoidable conflict that took the lives of close to 2 million Nigerians 40 years ago. Memories of the results of such hatred among tribes still remain in the

minds of many Nigerians who witnessed the war. Yet this generation of survivors is dying off, being replaced by new generations who are unaware of the potential consequences of their action as they bring the nation to the brink of another phase of war due to the Niger Delta violence related to oil fund disputes. Although many movies have depicted the civil wars in various nations, from the Scottish and Irish revolution against the English, through American civil war, to Somalia and Rwanda genocides and most of all, hundreds of movies telling different stories of WW1 and WW2. No movie has been made of Nigeria’s conflicts in order to draw the attention of cinema lovers to the screen and enlighten them about the repercussions of hatred. His research, combined with his ongoing communications with living veterans, victims of the war, and former military officers close to the assassinated president during the January 15 and July 29, 1966, coups motivated him to put all the facts together and write this screenplay for a true story action movie in which all 120 million Nigerians and every citizen in the western world would be interested as it tells a genuine story among genuine people in vivid detail.

3.The Industry The business of motion picture industry can be broadly divided into two major segments: Production and Distribution.  

Production involves the development, financing and making of motion pictures. Distribution involves the marketing, licensing, promotions, physical reproduction, delivery and exhibition of completed films.

“Blood Diamond” was produced by a Nigerian, Sam Kargbo, now a Senior Special Assistant to The F.C.T Minister. It featured 2 famous Hollywood Stars (Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou) with an official maximum budget of $40 million earning a worldwide gross of $171 million. The story revealed how Charles Taylor was involved in war crimes leading to the looting of diamonds and civil clashes in Sierra Leone. “The Last King of Scotland”, a story about the Dictator Ruler, Idi Amin of Uganda was made with a total budget of $10million. In the first week of release, about $17million was realized and a total of $48 million was cashed in by the end of the first quarter. “Hotel Rwanda” was made with $17 million and earned almost $34 million. These great African stories were all promoted and distributed by companies like Clear channels advertising agency and Odeon cinemas – the same companies we are dealing with. These great African stories are tracked annually by research organizations and international communities. ”UNBREAKABLE NATION” is one of those stories, longing to be told in motion picture to sensitize people on the need to tolerate each other in order to live together in peace and harmony.

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND BLOOD DIAMOND

HOTEL RWANDA

The American Film Institute ranked Hotel Rwanda as #90 on its list of the 100 most inspirational movies of all time. Film critic Richard Roeper said that it was one of the most inspirational films that he had ever seen and named the film the best of 2004. Roger Ebert gave the film four-stars and ranked Hotel Rwanda as the ninth best movie of 2004. Ebert's website provides a summary of additional reviews of the film.

Promotional and Distribution Strategy.

3.1

The Market: In the 2008 top 20 film distributed in UK alone during that year, grossed $800 million and more than that in the USA. The entertainment industry constitutes 40% of America’s gross domestic earnings. The overall Canadian industry [film and TV] is worth $2 billion annually. $1.3 billion is indigenous while $700 million is from outside the country. Canadian films garner 4-6% of Canadian box office revenues and about 100,000 Canadians are employed directly by the industry. They spend about $440 million a year at the box office and video rentals account for an extra $1.4 billion [FACTS ON THE CANADIAN FILM & TELEVISION INDUSTRY].

3.2

Distribution Strategy:

3.3

Promotional Schedule:

the motion picture industry is highly competitive with much of a film’s success being directly related to the skills of the distributor’s marketing strategy. To maximize the Company’s bargaining power, the distribution negotiation began just before we embarked on this project. As recommended by Odeon Cinemas, we must feature at least one or two Hollywood star(s) and invest at least $ 2million into advertisements to generate the hype that would result to generating massive profits. The more people get to know about the film the higher the chances of getting a larger audience. UNBREAKABLE NATION like every other film e.g. The Last King of Scotland and Blood Diamond – would be advertised by UK/US based advertising

agents, Clear Channels and CBS on every city and village bus stops, train stations, subways, billboards and the interior of buses and trains. Cable networks will advertise 60 seconds promos on every movie channels and 10 minutes documentary of the making on Movie review programs. Clips will also be loaded to play automatically on 5 most popular websites including Yahoo and MySpace.

3.Investment Opportunity We already have a fully packaged project supported by an interactive website [www.unbreakablenation.ning.com], still under development), video documentary, press conference and other marketing materials to attract the attention of potential investors, production companies or studios.

Risk Statements 

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 depends primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. Therefore, we aim to mitigate the risk to our financiers by conducting very thorough and detailed development, pre-production and a strong marketing/distribution strategy. That is why we are seeking to employ A-list talents and a reputable production crew in the industry to maximize the potential for a greater return of profits.



Each potential investor specifically understands and agrees that any estimates, projections, revenue models, forecasts or assumption are by definition uncertain and thus possibly unreliable. Any party considering a transaction with the company agrees to look solely to its own due diligence. In this regard, a limited liability agreement will be formed between the production company (“managing member”) and the investor(s) (“limited member(s)”). Gross revenues paid to the LLC will be allocated in the following manner. 80% (Eighty Percent) of all distribution profits received by the LLC will be placed into a mutually agreed Bank Trust Account and paid out to the investors until such time as his or her initial amount of investment (Principal) has been recouped. Thereafter, the investors would share in the predetermined profit of 25%.

Ending Considerations 

The first vehicle set up in the campaign for awareness and request for investors was to create an interactive website to provide intensive internet marketing. This website has been used for two important factors, first to build a consumer database through search engines, portal pages, links, blogs, chats and email. Second, we have optimized the website to receive top placement on all the search engines. (Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.). The company has also produced a 10 minutes video documentary on the mission of the company to take Nollywood from video to cinema.



We have also organized a press conference with 16 media companies, the foreign crew and other stakeholders in attendance to sensitize the general public on our call for investors as well as our mission.



We have a well packaged, brilliant and mind blowing film, the most important aspect in terms of large audience is the fact that they would want to see this film and spread the word, “SAY NO TO WAR”.



There has been a speculation by some political analysts that Nigeria will break up by the year 2015. We are going to leverage our campaign on these speculations to gain more awareness in the midst of the controversy.
