Austria’s Pont Pictures Offers Free Gap Financing for European Co-Productions via State Incentives (EXCLUSIVE)
Vienna-based Pont Pictures is spearheading an initiative to boost international collaborations by leveraging Austrian film funding incentives.
Pont Pictures recently used the financing model when it partnered with Ireland’s Fantastic Films and Vienna-based Horse & Fruits on Glenn McQuaid’s thriller “The Restauration at Grayson Manor,” starring Chris Colfer and Alice Krige. “ÖFI’s minority co-production funding perfectly complemented our partners — Screen Ireland, Coimisiún na Meán, RTE Television and world sales agents Bankside Films — and opened the door to incredible filmmaking talent in Austria.” Pont Pictures is currently developing two co-productions with international partners that it plans to shoot later this year: “Fractal,” a time-loop thriller about a toxic relationship that leads to murder, and “Amygdalla,” described as an elevated horror pic that plays with hyperrealism.
