The Film Investment Contract serves as the primary legal framework for structuring investments in film production projects within Nigeria's thriving entertainment industry. This document is essential when seeking to establish a formal investment relationship between film producers and investors, whether local or international, in the Nigerian market. It addresses crucial aspects such as investment terms, production requirements, revenue sharing, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with Nigerian entertainment industry regulations, investment laws, and intellectual property rights. The contract typically includes detailed provisions for budget management, production milestones, distribution rights, and investor protections, making it suitable for both single-investor and multi-investor scenarios in film projects of varying scales. Given Nigeria's position as Africa's largest film industry, the document incorporates specific considerations for Nollywood productions while maintaining international investment standards.
