About Us
History
FilmProfit LLC began business as Big Horse Incorporated in 1987. FilmProfit® has been a registered trademark of Big Horse Incorporated for more than ten years, but a name gracing our products since 1992. Over the years, so many have thought of us as FilmProfit, that we have now decided to work completely under that name. FilmProfit(r) is an entertainment analysis and business planning firm that has been providing guidance and services to filmed media, television and convergence producers, distributors and financiers since 1987.
Mission
Our goal at FilmProfit is to provide producers, distributors and financiers of filmed entertainment with the highest quality information, reports and guidance in support of their mutual business and artistic success.
"Not only does Jeff Hardy have a unique wealth and breadth of knowledge about the economics of distribution, but he is also a delight to work with. We are very happy to have found FilmProfit on our last project, and look forward to working with Jeff on many projects in the future."
Jennifer Burton, producer Manna From Heaven Five Sisters Productions
