About Stormrider Capital

Stormrider Capital is a “fintech” provider of senior secured loans for financing the production of film, television and streaming media content. Borrowers can apply, access and manage their funding process digitally via our fintech site by completing the following steps:

Step 1 – Click the CRITERIA button on the HOME PAGE to review the lending criteria for your project.

Step 2 – If your project meets the lending criteria, click the blue APPLY NOW button on the HOME PAGE and complete the online APPLICATION. When your application is complete, click red SUBMIT button.

Step 3 – We will review the application to verify that it meets our defined underwriting criteria. Please note that the most important element of the transaction is the “distribution agreement” and accompanying “minimum guarantee” (MG), since this serves as the principal collateral for the loan.

Step 4 - If approved, you will be provided an account "LOGIN" and asked to upload specific documentation for underwriting and legal review.

Step 5 - Production bank accounts are established and the project is funded.

  • Legal fees: $10 to $15k (typically included in project budget and paid by production)
