About Us

Founded in 2004 and with over 100 film and TV executive producer credits, 120dB Films is a film finance company specializing in gap, pre-sale, tax credit, finishing and bridge loans domestically and overseas. Our primary goal is assisting producers that have already raised a substantial portion of their required capital, to complete the necessary funding. We appreciate that each film is unique in terms of its financial structure and requirements, and we commit to working with an open mind and flexibility regarding terms and conditions. We do, however, strictly adhere to our "last in - first out", secured financing model. To be clear, we do not provide equity although we have relationships with parties that may provide super-gap / mezzanine loans, and we would be happy to make introductions for projects we endorse. 

Depending upon numerous factors, including the production team's track record and the presence of an alternative guarantor, we do not necessarily require a completion bond. With the benefit of our professional staff, we promise to be responsive, timely and respectful throughout the due diligence process. In most cases, we can offer commitment letters in a matter of days and closings have occurred as fast as a couple weeks. 

In Spring 2020, with a veteran producer and a renowned distribution executive, we launched 120dB Advisors, a new division offering a range of consulting services including production and delivery problem-solving and oversight, COVID-related production guidance, film distribution and sales assistance, advice on workouts, and guidance to asset managers and producers with their entertainment-related investments.

Please review our website including recent projects, bios and testimonials. By combining the financial resources one would normally find at a bank, respectful professionals with a love for film, and a philosophy that honors filmmakers and the process, we believe that 120dB Films represents a time-tested financial alternative in the world of independent film and television. 

120dB Films is a licensed lender in the State of California. All loans will be arranged or made pursuant to the California Financing Law.
