For Film and Television Financiers

When financiers risk millions on a major film production they want to be sure it is spent well. Equally a producer wants the reassurance that the whole budget is guaranteed before making a commitment.  Sterling-Bond Escrow for Film Production can assist in managing the budget on behalf of both parties.

The service works alongside the financiers' representatives to ensure the money is paid out to the producer on the success of each stage of the production. At the same time neutral care of the budget by Sterling-Bond ensures that the producer remains confident at all times there is money to meet production plan.

For Production Cast & Crew

For the stars, director and other principle crew members of a production there is the additional fear of fraud from unscrupulous producers and financiers. By working directly on their behalf Sterling-Bond ensures all cast and crew, plus all outside contractors, will receive their pay direct from the master escrow accounts rather than the producer's accounts.

This service allows the cast and crew to work, confident in the knowledge that their money is safe and they will receive their due income.

Media Industry Royalty Payment Service

Another aspect of the media industry where Sterling-Bond can offer security of payment is on behalf of all artists seeking reassurance of royalty and other percentage participation payments.

In acting as a neutral safe harbour for sales receipts Sterling-Bond can process all incomes on behalf of all parties, guaranteeing royalties to artists directly from receipts.

This overcomes one of the greatest problems in the media industry - the lack of accountability and income many artists suffer at the hands of unscrupulous producers, publishers, etc.
