BOX OFFICE PRODUCTIONS II LLC.,

is a financial instrument that provides investors equity ownership in an upcoming thriller from an enormously successful writer / director.

Alpine is a ten year old independent film company that attends all of the major world markets where movies are bought and sold, and is ideally poised to produce and distribute this film effectively.

ON AVERAGE, AT LEAST 60% OF A MOVIE'S TOTAL REVENUE...

On average, 60% of a movie’s total revenue comes from the rapidly expanding foreign markets, and that percentage is expected to continue growing, making this an even more significant source of motion picture revenue. Many films have managed to recoup their budgets and even turn a profit simply by effectively selling (and even in some cases, even pre-selling) the foreign distribution rights. Alpine Pictures Inc. solid relationships with many foreign distribution companies, with whom they have extensively market-researched this movies potential commercial viability, greatly enhances our collective prospects for success.

FOREIGN AND OTHER MARKETS

The days when a film had to either sink or swim in a short period of time, based primarily on its performance in U.S. theaters, are thankfully long gone. Today many growing ancillary markets present multiple revenue streams, as illustrated in the diagram below. Since the owners of such content are paid repeatedly for licensing the rights for limited time periods to distributors in these various markets, they need not ever relinquish ownership (and the attendant opportunities to sell and resell the rights through these markets for perpetuity).

TODAY’S INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION COMPANIES

The term “Independents” (or “Indies”) has a different meaning today than it did in the 1940s.
Today, independent producers and production companies are mostly out-of-the-mainstream operations that resist (some may even say rebel against) the content and business-minded limitations of mainstream production companies.
Independent producers are important to filmmaking for a number of reasons.

• They provide a training ground for new talent. Many directors and producers have gotten their start in independent films and have gone on to make their mark in mainstream films.

• They introduce and explore topics that are seen as too avant-garde or politically risky for mainstream producers.

• They introduce new techniques that may later be adopted by mainstream producers.
• Because independents are typically produced at a fraction of the cost of films made by major studios, content can be tailored to small, select audiences. (Some independent producers have even charged their expenses to a credit card with the hope that their film will be successful.)
The most successful independent film of all time has been Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004) which was the number one film for several weeks.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre still is the king of horror indie pictures. Since its release it has become a cult phenomenon and the most successful independent horror film ever made. In 2003, nearly 30 years and several sequels later, a, remake was released on the big screen with a domestic box office of over $80 million and a worldwide box office of over $107 million!
The comedy, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, released in 2002, has been the second most successful independent film. The film cost $5 million to make, under $20 million to market and ended up grossing over $360 million. Most new releases stay in the Top-10 listings for one or two weeks; My Big Fat Greek Wedding was in the Top-10 for months.

SUCCESSFUL INDIE SUSPENSE & THRILLER FILMS
Today, one may see a movie like The Sixth Sense and think, “Finally, thrillers are being revitalized!” But don’t be fooled. The future of suspense and thrillers does not rest on films like Constantine, War of the Worlds or The Skeleton Key. No, this genre’s life and longevity depends highly on independent filmmaking.
The term ‘Independent Thriller’ refers to a grassroots movement whose only motivation is to make a good movie. Unlike mainstream movies where everything seems to be either a sequel or a remake, independent filmmakers are producing fresh, original material with plenty of old-fashioned fright.
The following are a few movies that are very entertaining and also show an originality that is sorely lacking in most of today’s films:

• Memento - Director and writer Christopher Nolan presents this stunning tale in fragments, giving the audience a true sense of how the main character must feel. Leonard Shelby is a man who cannot remember. Literally. When a burglar breaks into his home, Leonard sustains a head injury that prevents him from making new memories. The last thing he remembers is that his wife is dead and he must avenge her. Through an elaborate system of notes and photos, Leonard searches diligently for her killer.

• Sin City - This movie tells the tale of unlikely and reluctant heroes who are still trying to do the right thing in a city that has ceased to care. Their stories-shocking, searing and suspenseful-come to the fore in a new motion picture from Co-Directors Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez with special guest director Quentin Tarantino.

• Donnie Darko - In the tradition of Stir of Echoes and Final Destination, Donnie Darko is an edgy, psychological thriller about a suburban teen coming face-to-face with his dark destiny. Jake Gyllenhaal leads a star filled cast (including Drew Barrymore, Noah Wyle, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze and Mary McDonnell) as a delusional high school student who is visited by a demonic rabbit.
