Press Release
Derby Street Films announces the launch of Derby Street Films
III
Following the success of its first two vehicles, Derby Street
Films is launching its third fund, Derby Street Films III Limited
(DSFIII).
DSF III is looking to raise £2 million, which will be invested
in 25 film projects over three years. As with the first two
vehicles, the focus will be on developing projects with major
Hollywood producers and directors. The new vehicle has preliminary
approval from HMRC in the UK, thus allowing investors to gain tax
benefits under the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
