2. GONZOS 3 DOUBLE D’ $2.94mil - PG 13 Extreme sports action/adventure. Director Harvey Lowry. Written and Produced by ‘Baywatch’ Co-Creator and Executive Producer Michael Berk.
“G3DD” is SV’s top property for product placement (integration) and we believe it will deliver the best ROI of any of the films on our slate. “G3DD” to be made in Miami qualifies for an up to 25% subsidy.
The mind captures a 3D image 85% better than a 2D image and advertisers are getting it. Heinekens paid $45mil for product integration in the new James Bond movie. In the scene James Bond takes a drink from a bottle of Heinekens. Picture Sea Doo’s or ice cold Corona’s coming off the screen in 3D.

3. ‘AUBREY BLAZE at the GATES OF HELL’ $15mil - PG 13 Female Empowerment Action/Adventure. Directed by Harvey Lowry Screenplay by ‘Baywatch’ Creator and Executive Producer Michael Berk. ‘ABGH’ is to be shot entirely in Puerto Rico. StereoVision will utilize PR’s 40% in tax credits

StereoVision’s advantage in PR is that the Company’s attorney in PR Antonio Sifre, authored PR’s Film Producer’s Tax Credit legislation. PR’s most prolific independent film production company Konwieser Brothers is SV’s strategic production partner in PR, grandfathering in all of SV’s film projects there.

http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20070628005015/en/Stereo-Vision-Forms-Strategic-Alliance-Puerto-Ricos
How much foreign sales and filmmaker subsidies will be raised towards the $15mil will be determined by the talent that we’re able to attach. Our 1st pick to star in ‘ABGH’ is Benecio Del Toro. We believe we can generate as much as 35% of the budget from the PR subsidies or about $4.5mil. We believe can sell the foreign distribution for $5mil, and with a small domestic release we’ll get around a 20% negative pick up deal from the distributor for around $3mil, so we’ll will have a Gap Financeable $12.5mil towards ‘Aubrey Blaze Gates of Hell’ full financing.
4. ‘SECRETS OF THE LOST SAN SABAS’ $4mil – PG 13 Mystical metaphysical action adventure feature. Willie Nelson expected to play the lead.
Virtually all of the production of ‘SLSS’ will be done in Texas at Willie Nelson’s old western town at his ranch named Luck, Texas, thereby qualifying the project for up to a 29% subsidy. Willie has all the production crew needed right there at Luck, Texas on his ranch near Marble Falls, Texas to produce 90% of the movie. The city scenes will be shot in San Antonio. Our agent Mark Lichtman’s client in Austin is Troublemaker Studios where ‘300’, and ‘Sin City’, among others were produced almost in their entirety and they recently produced ‘Sin City 2’ there as well. SLSS could complete all its post at Troublemaker Studio thereby producing the entire movie in Texas.
5. ‘KUNG FU U’ $3mil – PG 13 Anti-bullying 3D martial arts summer camp movie. Starring Hulk Hogan. Harvey Lowry Directing. Michael Berk attached as writer/producer. We expect to shoot ‘KFU’ in California and believe it will deliver a substantial subsidy. With Faith Based films being so popular these days we expect modest sponsorship earnings with this picture as well.
