Company



Mission Statement


Northern Star Pictures, LLC's mandate is to deliver quality motion pictures to a worldwide audience by forming a strong, disciplined process-driven management team with requisite experience in motion picture development, production, distribution, marketing and sales.


Our primary goal is to find stimulating literary properties and to develop and produce them within specified timeframes in concert with creative and enthusiastic filmmakers as well as major foreign and domestic distributors, public relations and advertising firms.


Ultimately, the keys to our success are based on the quality of our internal analysis, projections and marketing as well as maintaining excellent relationships with major domestic and foreign distributors to ensure timely delivery of product and maximize revenue streams.


Vision Statement


Our goal is to become an influential and recognizable organization with the 25+ year old segment of the market within the next three years.  This will be achieved by delivering consistently high-quality, appealing and profitable motion pictures on a regular basis (2-3 per year), frequently analyzing the foreign and domestic marketplaces and adjusting our strategies accordingly, as well as enforcing brand awareness via above and below the line advertising.


The adoption and consistent practice of a business process management methodology ensures company operations are efficient and quality-driven and the staff remains engaged and productive.


Additionally, the management will create a dynamic, sought-after work environment and corporate culture that fosters respect, creativity, inclusion, balance and provides profit participation to vested employees.  Management will be held to a high standard by demonstrating and accepting responsibility and accountability.


Management leaders will communicate and embody the vision regularly and include the vision in their team's short, medium and long-term goals.  Managers shall also mentor and nurture in-house employees and encourage them to actively participate and grow within the organization.

 

Business Model


Filmed entertainment is a global, multi-billion dollar industry, highly competitive and full of risk.   Each year, over $3 billion are invested in over 4,000 U.S. independent feature length movies, the majority of which will never be seen by a paying audience.  In Hollywood, there are only a handful of independent production companies that are consistently successful.  Their success is not by accident, instead, they share a proven business model that alleviates risk and allows them to flourish both creatively and financially.  


Northern Star Pictures, LLC will adopt this business model and follow these key principles:


  • pursue literary properties that match a well-defined selection criteria, that are worth being told and that we are passionate about
  • perform comparative analysis to determine that selected properties have profit potential
  • work with foreign and domestic distributors and/or sales agents during the development process to secure distribution in key territories and
  • coordinate marketing strategies during the picture's entire lifecycle

Adhering to these principles will ensure a consistent stream of high quality, profitable pictures, establish a close working relationship with important distributors and provide a reliable delivery system to our consumers.
