Pressman Film Sees Nice Haul For Development Slate On Popular Investment Platform Republic

Pressman Films, the indie producer behind classics from 'Wall Street' to 'American Psycho' is the first slate listed on investment platform Republic.

This is not crowdfunding but equity investment from — so far — 295 investors with Pressman offering rather generous returns if a project does make it into production as the indie seeks to create a brand and attract a pool of followers and potential financiers going forward. Pressman has produced more than 100 motion pictures and helped launch the careers of some of the most prominent figures in the movie industry including Christian Bale, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brian DePalma and Oliver Stone. Founded in 2016 it’s backed by Morgan Stanley, Valor Equity Partners, Galaxy Interactive, Hashed, AngelList and other institutions, Republic has a global portfolio of over 2,000 companies and a community of nearly three million members in over 150 countries.
