Film Production, Real Estate and Opportunity Zones – the Perfect Trifecta for RE Investors seeking returns, incentives and protection in uncertain times

 

Danny Hughes brings another high impact Keynote that expands the boundaries and explores innovative strategies for the Opal Real Estate, Family Office, Private Wealth, Impact, and Alternative Investor communities. This time profiling the exploding opportunity in film and media production, the demand for “micro-studios”, and the compounding benefits inside of Opportunity Zones. Danny will bring the Co-Founder and President, Joey Difranco and Co-Founder and CEO, Seth Hummel, both from 1913 Media Group, to provide the Opal community valuable insights on:

 

  • How technology and consumer viewing preference disrupted the Film/Media distribution model and has set up a significant opportunity for content production
  • Why the ability to create quality film projects is no longer at the mercy of Hollywood and “Major Studios” and the surging growth of “Micro-Studios” and independent film infrastructure
  • “Technology rent” and project fees exceeds the “Traditional rent” models for Real Estate assets
  • Why some properties in Opportunity Zones are ideally suited for film infrastructure and how operating a studio in an Opportunity Zone presents a significant upside

 

1913 will walk the audience through the “ideal project” located in the Ohio Valley providing the Opal Real Estate Investor community a real world example of the “Perfect Trifecta” in action. This is one you will not want to miss
