From the administrators' statement
FFP Film Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated 10 August 2022 under the Company registration number 14289125, as a private company, limited by shares, with Crawford Anderson-Dillion (“Mr Anderson-Dillion”) and Zachary Weinstein (“Mr Weinstein’) as co-directors. Mr Anderson-Dillion is the sole shareholder of the Company.
The Company was set up as a special purpose vehcule (“SPV”) to facilitate the production of a film in the UK known as “5lbs of Pressure” (“the Film”). The purpose of the SPV was to provide for the hire of crew, casting, utilisation of equipment and other things incidental to making a film. The entire development was paid through the Company. The Company would obtain necessary funding from foreign financiers in the USA, either through loans or direct investment. Mr Anderson-Dillion was a freelance producer, who provided the day-to-day operational management of the Company. He facilitated the UK tax credit claim the Company would ultimately submit to HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) once production had finished. Mr Weinstein was the lead producer of the Film.
The Company’s facility was made though a secured loan facility advanced by 120DB Film Financing LLC (“120DB”). The loan was facilitated through the Company’s US SPV counterpart, FPP Productions LLC.
