Turn Your Tax Liability Into an Asset!

axpayers wishing to receive tax write-offs often donate money to charitable organizations. But now, under a new federal law called the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 ("AJCA"), the best "gift" of all is the jobs created by investing in your own portfolio.

You see, AJCA allows a full-value tax deduction for participating in independently produced family-oriented motion picture projects. You take the write off by purchasing Units in motion picture projects and the "donation" remains in your portfolio. You don't have to give your asset away! It's the best of both worlds.


The deductions allowed under the American Jobs Creation Act apply to individuals, corporations and partnerships. And these aren't just our own conclusions; they are supported by major CPA firms. Check for yourself here.

And all of the films that we refer you to are films that you would be proud to have your name on. We won't refer you to films that have gratuitous sex and violence. And the films appeal to a broad market of many different ages and demographics.

Now, through your participation in AJCA-qualified motion picture projects made here in the US, not only are you able to convert your tax liability into an asset through a legitimate deduction ― but you also have the possibility to turn it into a profit.

You have a choice to make: you can write a check to the IRS, or you can, in effect, "write a check to yourself" by participating in a motion picture project.

How AJCA Works

AJCA was enacted on October 22, 2004, and provides for federal tax incentives applicable to the film and television industry in the U.S. The law is retroactive to January 1, 2004. AJCA permits U.S. taxpayers to elect, for any “qualifying film and television productions,” to immediately expense certain production expenditures up to $15 million ($20 million if incurred in certain low-income or distressed areas), in lieu of capitalizing the cost and recovering it through depreciation.

“Qualified film or television production” means any production of a motion picture film or videotape if 75 percent of the total compensation is for services performed in the U.S. by actors, directors, producers, and other relevant production personnel. The term “compensation” does not include participations and residuals. For purposes of a television series, only the first 44 episodes of the series are taken into account. This provision is effective for qualified productions commencing after October 22, 2004 and before January 1, 2010. (The Act was extended past Dec 31, 2008, to December 31, 2009 in October of 2008.)


Applying AJCA to Your Situation

We will refer qualified taxpayers to specific motion picture projects which qualify under AJCA. You may write off your participation in the projects and keep the resulting assets in your portfolio.
