Graham Bradstreet needs no introduction in Hollywood, especially among the studios, agencies, and major production companies who all come to him for film financing. After co-founding Working Title Films (this year's "Baby Driver" and "Darkest Hour) with his partners and selling it to Polygram back in the 90s, Graham formed several other companies and financing vehicles to supply movie budgets in excess of $3 Billion to the major studios like Paramount and Sony. He developed the concept of insurance backed securities, popularized the practice of tax breaks and tax credits, and dug into international legislature and tax codes to figure out how to get huge slates of movies made. Recently Terence and Graham have formed a new film production company to produce 30 movies over a 4-year period. They can't say too much just, but Graham was kind enough to join the podcast to give you a taste of what they're doing.
