Company Background:

CLICK TO VIEW COMPANY INFORMATION

Sandlot Productions Inc. is a motion picture development company, specializing in the financing, production and distribution of independent films and television specials.

Until recently, the industry has been controlled by the major studios, but due to the increased demand for video entertainment because of the internet, expansion of pay TV, cable and DVD sales & rentals, a new opportunity has developed for independent producers. The huge new demand for entertainment can no longer be met by the studios alone. These studios and distribution companies now rely on independently financed productions to fill this void.

Though the major studios have large budgets, many have had a careless attitude towards spending which has resulted in budget waste, cost overruns and disappointing results for investors. "Bigger" is not always "better". 

Facts show that an independent video can be produced for less than a fraction of the cost and still not sacrifice quality production values. This is possible today when new production technology is coupled with a back to basics business attitude. We believe this business methodology creates an investment opportunity that is second to none.
