Team's Expertise Bridges ASA's Gap

I recently used the services offered by Red Rock Entertainment Film Investment Company. My experience was largely positive. The staff was professional, and the process was straightforward. While there were a few minor hiccups, the overall outcome met my expectations. I would consider working with them again in the future.

Grateful for Your Kind Actions

Having invested with Red Rock Entertainment Film Investment Company, I found their services to be professional and organized. The team was responsive and provided detailed information throughout the process. While my experience was generally positive, it's important to do your own research before committing.

'Stand Out from Competitors'

My experience with Red Rock Entertainment Film Investment Company was fairly positive. There was clear communication throughout, although the returns were not as high as expected. Overall, a professional and transparent service.

It is advisable to stay off

It’s advisable to stay off this company especially since I was tricked things my investment was going to count but I lost all i worked for and nothing was done. I just wanted basic investment which triggered my move to “Easy bee” what I saw was quite exceptional to whatever I have seen before.

Avoid similar companies

The investment advice and rhetoric from the management here was, in retrospect, misleading and disingenuous to say the least, in that I was 'assured' that after 3 years investment I would be looking at a full return of monies invested plus 15+% or so profit. I was also told that no project had failed to return this - I now believe this to be false claim. Having invested a very large sum in various projects the return is abysmal with less than a 8% of my original investment returned after 4 years +. I do not hold out much hope of recouping much more. The 5 star reviews on here are mostly from companies etc that raised monies through RRE and not the investors themselves. I appreciate it is RRE that has gone bust and not the individual companies I am invested in but the business ethics and narrative employed by RRE in raising monies from investors is questionable at least. I doubt if many investors have ever received their full return plus profit - they certainly have not been posting here to say they have anyway. I am posting this now to warn others looking to invest in the film world - be very very wary about doing so. My experience is that you are unlikely to see any profit and very likely to find your investment disappear through a hole in the floor. Should I suddenly find that the monies start to roll in then I will return and amend this post accordingly ...

Turds

Turds .
I made an investment with this company 2020 November. I was told after 6 months, I will get returns. Fast forward to January 2022 till present, I got only £600. And is because I kept writing them and putting pressure on them.
Since January 2022, I haven’t received any penny, last week I got email stating that, the company will be closing down and all investors are being moved to another company.
Is so sad and frustrating; looking back how they used to bug my phone, constant calling and emails , making promises.
As a single mom in UK, I gave in. I should have used my money to set myself up for business. Everything is so disappointing and frustrating considering the high inflation , plus taking care of three kids

Hi Ihuoma
Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry that you are unhappy.
You will be pleased to know your investment was made directly with the production company for 'HOLLYWOOD BULLDOGS: THE RISE AND FALLS OF THE GREAT BRITISH STUNTMAN' and therefore the closing of Red Rock has no bearing on your investment and you have not been passed to another company.
Where in the past you always contacted us for updates now the production company whom you invested with will deal with you directly.
This was all explained in the email that was sent to investors along with all the production contact details which were attached.
The documentary was bought by Britbox for the UK and recently has been released in other territories with more due to come onboard
A few months ago it became available on various streaming platforms and the producers are in talks with various broadcasters. If you had contacted the producers they would have explained that your investment was with them and explained their expectations moving forward.
Revenue from the documentary will continue for some time
In the email I sent you on Monday 20th June I explained that some staff would be staying on to answer any queries that people had along with our contact details until the end of the week.
During that time both Marie and myself spoke to many investors both on the phone and by email
No one is more sorry than I am that after more than 10 years I had to take the sad decision to close.
The last couple of years had been extremely difficult during which time I borrowed £120,000 from the bank where I was a personal guarantor, sold most of my assets and used all my savings in trying to keep the company going.

I have used the team at Red Rock to help finance a couple of movies, and I must congratulate them on their ability to fully understand the industry, and help filmmakers navigate the various challenges.

Supporting new filmmaking talent

Gary and the Red Rock team were hugely supportive to me as a young filmmaker. I was lucky enough to win their short film competition and they financed my project, Jas, with £5,000 prize money. It was a pleasure to deal with RR and they were always looking to promote me on their social media. Jas had a successful run and led my onto the next venture this time with the BFI behind me! Very grateful for the opportunity Red Rock gave me at an early stage of my career and for helping to profile new filmmaking talent. Thanks guys!

Red Rock A+++ service

Gary and his team at Red Rock are quite simply the foundations to any successful production. I have used them a couple of times to raise finance for my projects but it never ends there, once you work with them you are a part of their family, a family who will help you on the road to success.

Strange how all the "5* reviews" were done on the same day and come form the US, whereas the company is based in the UK?

I wonder how much it costs to buy such "reviews"?

Thank you for your feedback

Regarding as to why all the posts were from the US and done on the same day I would like to point out a couple of things.

Firstly that 4 of the 5 posts immediately below this post, that give 5-star ratings are in fact from the UK.

The reason some of the posts appear in batches relating to dates is that every now and again I invite people to comment regarding the service we have provided.

Unfortunately, in todays busy schedules you sometimes need to give people a push to comment on the service you have provided. So every so often I reach out by email to a group of people I have worked with and ask if they would be kind enough to post their experience.

I would be disappointed if I didn't get a 5* rating considering I have given them money to make their Film, Documentary or TV Series

If you look at our IMDB page you will see we have helped finance close to 60 productions since 2012, with our first collaboration being released in 2013

Strange how I can’t get a credit rating for this firm which has no accounts yet as was only incorporated in 2020 and yet some of the reviews on here precede the incorporation .. all very suspicious

Thank you for your feed back and sorry for the late response

Regarding our accounts and when we were incorporated, we have been around since the end of 2012 and are in our 10th year of film making.

Our first film that we were attached to was released in 2013
Here is a link to our IMDB page where you will see we have helped finance nearly 60 productions

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0556596

We are an off-shore company dealing with productions from around the world (that have a UK theme) who have our UK office based at Elstree Film Studios.

We also hold seminars there introducing investors to the production companies (these have been suspended over the last couple of years).

https://www.elstreestudios.co.uk/productions/

The main reason we are off shore is because of VAT. As production companies set up separate SPV's (Special Purpose Vehicles) for each film, they are mostly not VAT registered and therefore any funds raised would have VAT attached to fees and services which they couldn’t claim back meaning less going on the production

We did set up a UK based company back in 2017 - see companies house link

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11074504

It was set up to work on a film platform and had a couple of name changes along the way to best promote the platform and the type of films it was going to show which were going to be more classic in nature

The Platform and company are both dormant as we decided not to move forward. This link is to the dormant platform

http://www.movieclassics4u.com

Only money directly from Red Rock was used and there was no external investment

We also do a lot of lot in the Community in sponsoring our local football club Boreham Wood FC and work with a charity where we arrange for children to meet celebrities in film and music and also help young people who want to make a career in our industry.

Here are some links that reassure you how long we have been around and some of the work we have done

Dealing with Red Rock Entertainment is straightforward and enjoyable. The team works for you to obtain the financing you need for your projects. Gary works as an actual Executive Producer and were the key reason my last feature film was financed. I am glad say I am working with them again.
