Also, commenting on today's announcement, was TEN10 TV’s Chief Operating and Chief Compliance Officer Joseph Pizzarelli. “We are using this funding to aggressively expand our slate of high-end television show properties. After spending over 20 years on Wall Street, I was thrilled to join a team of equally driven partners like Steven and Josh and put my financial services experience toward a dynamic product such as TV and film finance and production. When former colleagues, friends and potential investors ask me what sets this opportunity apart, the obvious answer is our relationship with Sam Sokolow and Jeff Cooney, our exciting and relevant projects and this team’s ability to be exceptional and honorable stewards of investment dollars.”
In addition to the announcement regarding the continued expansion of the company, TEN10 Television President Joshua Mills is pleased to announce a significant working partnership with Sam Sokolow, Jeff Cooney and Chris Cooney of EUE/Sokolow Entertainment via a multi-show development deal. TEN10 Television and EUE/Sokolow Entertainment will develop a large slate of premium television properties together. Mills says, “EUE/Sokolow is the ideal partner for TEN10 Television. This partnership allows us to provide our investors with high-end television content at a reasonable production cost, and allows us to capitalize on the surging momentum of EUE/Sokolow Entertainment. We’re excited and thankful that EUE/Sokolow recognizes our talent and appreciates our dynamic model for compliant fund raising.”
Jeff and Sam are currently executive producers on ‘GENIUS’, a straight-to-series order by Nat Geo that is being produced in partnership with Fox 21 Studios, Imagine Entertainment and OddLot. The first season of ‘GENIUS’ is based on Walter Isaacson’s best seller ‘EINSTEIN’ and has Ron Howard directing the first episode, Ken Biller on as show-runner, stars Geoffrey Rush as Albert Einstein, and was advertised in commercials during Super Bowl LI.
"EUE/Sokolow has created a unique avenue for independent money to play at the highest level of the lucrative global television marketplace, which is something that has rarely, if ever, previously existed. As one of the few truly independent television companies working in the premium television business in Hollywood, we are excited and honored to have the productive working relationship that we do with Steven Camp and the team at TEN10 Television," said EUE/Sokolow Entertainment President Sam Sokolow, from their Beverly Hills office.
Moving forward, TEN10 Television plans to leverage its financing and independent studio platform to retain large ownership stakes of TV Properties and capitalize on the major revenue drivers of a television property, including domestic distribution, foreign distribution, first-run syndication, VOD and downloads, and ancillary revenues. TEN10’s independence and deep industry relationships enhance its ability to sell TV Properties in an open market, free from corporate mandates, and offer premium original content to every network and outlet. TEN10 Television will employ a business model focused on progressive financing of projects to fund deficits and generate profits. The Company and its investors will retain a significant equity portion in each of their respective TV Properties, resulting in a library of powerful television assets that will generate recurring high margin revenue and high margin cash flow generation year over year.

“Over the years, I have invested in just about every standard investment you can imagine, stocks, bonds and lately I’ve done well in real estate. This investment into the TV fund is by far and away the most exciting of them all. Based on what I’ve seen in the first phase, this one could have the most potential as well. My Wife and I joined about twenty other investors for the “Diplomatic Immunity” shoot in Malibu, CA, and had a blast. We intend to visit every production shoot we can. Steven and the TEN10 TV team have been honest, straightforward and have been very clear about the risks vs. rewards in this fund.” (Kirk B. – Investor)
