Connecting filmmakers to capital
The operating system for film financing.
Filmmakers and capital partners often speak different languages. New Path Pictures helps turn creative ambition into a clearer financing conversation, grounded in the story, budget and audience evidence.
In private testing with filmmakers. Early access is by invitation.
The opportunity
Two languages. One project.
The Engine connects creative materials, financial assumptions and sourced research. Human review keeps evidence separate from estimates and open questions, before a capital conversation begins.
A budget you can work with.
Bring an existing budget or develop an estimate. Review assumptions, adjust the details and share a versioned Excel workbook with your team.
A clearer route to an audience.
Explore the people who may care, where to reach them and the potential buyers and partners whose interests fit your project.
How you move forward
Bring what you have. Build from there.
Tell your story.
Share the idea and any deck, script or budget you already have. You do not need a finished package to begin.
Let the Engine do the first pass.
Research, drafts and marked estimates give you something concrete to improve. Missing details become simple questions.
Make it yours, then share.
Ask for changes, add photos and review each version. Publish your deck when you are ready for existing viewers to see it.
You can say “I don’t know.”
IllustrationThe question
Will your crew need to travel?
Your answer
I’m not sure yet.
The next step
Keep travel marked as an estimate, then refine it when you know the locations and crew.
Clear next steps help you improve the plan without having to know everything on day one.
For buyers, investors and partners
Find the fit. See the evidence.
Tell us what you are looking for. We prepare relevant conversations around a clear premise, audience research, the budget and the team, with confirmed facts and open questions easy to distinguish.
