Slide each film to see how returns flow through the fund. The $2M GP first-loss buffer absorbs downside before LP capital is ever touched.
Note that more 10SET holdings will contribute to a greater share of movie revshare opportunity
Superhero ★ is OTT pre-sold — its slider floors at 0%. Section 173 is also capital-protected by the curator and floors at 0%.
Capital-protected exposure to Indian cinema — backed by a signed capital floor on every deal.
Every production house in our pipeline signs a capital guarantee or loss protection clause as a contractual term — a signed obligation, not a marketing claim.
We accept a 25% profit share in exchange for that guarantee, where competitors negotiate 50/50 splits without one. The trade-off is deliberate: smaller upside per deal, structural protection on every deal.
Stone Bench has made 19 films over 10 years. Every one sold to OTT — typically bundled two or three at a time. Three did 20×, some hardly crossed $100K, but every single film found a buyer.
The unbroken sales record is what we underwrite. A curator who has placed every film for a decade is a more reliable bet than the script of any individual film.
If a film underperforms, the curator's next films are contractually liable for the capital plus interest. Recourse runs through the next production, not the courtroom — production houses want to keep making movies, and we want our capital back. The contract aligns those incentives.
Two of India's top entertainment lawyers vet every deal individually. Each contract is drafted from scratch for the specific deal.
We deploy across six concurrent deals. If one production house asks to roll capital into a later film, the other five continue paying out on schedule. Diversification is built into the fund's construction.
Every deal is sized to be one of six — never the whole position. A single missed payout is a delay; it is not a loss event.
Every curator in our pipeline pre-sells or post-production-sells to Netflix, Amazon, or major regional platforms. The OTT acquisition establishes the recovery floor. Theatrical, satellite, music, and overseas rights sit above it as upside.
On Superhero, the OTT deal alone covered 103% of the budget before opening weekend. Theatrical performance becomes pure upside on top.
We pay 8% APY on idle capital. A sustainable preferred return that holds across cycles is more defensible than a higher number that breaks the fund the first time a film slips.
The 8% is what the underlying assets can support consistently. Anything we promise above that has to come from realised profit share, not from the next investor's deposit.
South Indian cinema only — Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam — where production costs run at roughly a third of Hindi cinema and OTT buy rates are higher.
Six concurrent deals, diversified across genres, curators, and budget ranges.
Every deal is structured to recover capital before theatrical economics matter.
The fund is built to protect capital and deliver predictable upside across a slate, not to swing for one breakout.
