NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS, INC. – NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP
NATCHEZ PARK…

Purpose of This Document:
This summary plan has been specifically assembled for review by funding groups in direct response to communications between NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS President, Michael Elley, and managing principals or representatives o the said funding groups, pursuant to creation of NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS on one of several possible sites in and around the Nashville, Tennessee, area. As such, this plan presents a comprehensive overview of the facilities and contractors designated to design and construct aspects of the studio infrastructure. The Executive Summary of this document is not intended to be an exhaustive overview of all aspects associated with NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS, which will be presented in an even more detailed business plan, but was put together as a quick intro in response to bona fide inquiries from funding entities.

CONCEPT:
Because it is the third largest, multi-billion dollar entertainment capital in the United States, because of its large-scale international commerce in the music industry, because the major labels in Nashville are connected to major filmmaking entities in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere, and because of its pre-existing and thriving film/video production infrastructure, Nashville is by far the most logical place to construct the world’s next state-of-the-art motion picture and television studio facility.

While there has been intermittent motion picture and television activity in Nashville over the decades, the last three years have witnessed the single largest emergence of independent filmmaking energies in the history of Nashville. Several full-length feature films have been produced, as well as an even larger number of short features and documentaries. Even more significantly, perhaps, is that Nashville has created a series of mechanisms that have brought a great deal of visibility, energy, resources, producers, directors and writers to Nashville from national and international sources. These mechanisms include creation of the nation’s fastest-growing film school, and international screenplay competition, a world-class film symposium, an independent filmmakers anthology, and motion picture and television conferences that have already brought and will bring distributors, producers, directors, agents and motion picture executives to Nashville on a continuous basis.

The Nashville entertainment market is like few other markets in the world, in that it is an idiosyncratic combination of world-class art industry entities of substantial economic clout immersed within the context of a rather provincial community that truly requires many years to penetrate, in terms of the personal networks that need to be established, developed, and nurtured over time. Michael Elley as well as a number of his closest associates have spent years in the Nashville market penetrating the industry to such an extent that they are now effectively positioned at the very center of the emerging independent filmmaking community of Nashville and at the very center of mechanisms involving producers from Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Wilmington, and Vancouver, who are all willing to bring motion picture and television projects to Nashville.

While contemplating the creation of a major motion picture studio these days, it is standard practice to employ high rhetoric that the facility is intended to be world-class, state-of-the-art, and run by the best personnel that money can acquire, the only circumstances which truly determine the success or failure of a major motion picture studio, anywhere, are the Key relationships developed and maintained by the entities running or integral to the studio. Michael Elley and his associates have developed the full spectrum of strategic relationships necessary to enable the establishment and prosperity of NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS.

The full breadth of these strategic relationships will ensure that NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL STUDIOS will be constructed in a world-class yet economic manner, that productions will both be drawn to and spawned in Nashville, and that they will be marketed and distributed effectively out of Nashville, thereby creating a self-sustaining system that can only increase in profitability.
