## Summary

FilmmakerOG exists because the business side of film finance is too difficult for many serious producers and filmmakers to access.

The product gives users a practical way to organize budget assumptions, capital stack logic, distribution scenarios, breakeven thinking, investor scenarios, and recoupment waterfall order before deeper professional review.

## Founder context

FilmmakerOG was built from firsthand exposure to how independent film deals are discussed, structured, delayed, and sometimes misunderstood. The founder context is credibility support, not the main product. The product remains focused on helping producers and filmmakers understand the structure of the finance plan.

## Why it matters

Film finance has relied on gatekeepers, expensive professionals, and closed networks for too long. FilmmakerOG does not remove the need for qualified professional review, but it helps users arrive with a clearer starting point.
