Invest in the Film Industry with UNLEYEK – Leading Indie Female-Led UK Production Company with Data-Driven Insights

Why Invest in UNLEYEK?

The global film industry is accelerating. In 2023, it generated $287.8 billion, up from $178 billion the year before, and is forecast to reach $391 billion by 2028 (CAGR: 6.35%).

Global box office revenue also surged, reaching $33.9 billion in 2023, a 30.5% year-on-year increase.

Meanwhile, the digital pivot is well underway: 70% of North America’s home entertainment revenue came from streaming in 2023, fuelling demand for high-quality, IP-rich, multi-platform content.

The UK Advantage

From our base in London, we operate in one of the world’s strongest and most incentivised production ecosystems. In 2023, UK high-end TV and film production spend returned to £4.23 billion, matching pre-pandemic highs.

The UK also offers unparalleled investment benefits:

Up to 53% in tax credits (see here)
40% business rates relief for creative sectors
Access to world-class crews, studios, and infrastructure

Where Capital Meets Creativity

At UNLEYEK, we don’t gamble. Our proprietary data-led ROI prediction tool, developed through Barclays Eagle Labs, enables:

Risk-adjusted financial forecasting
Custom capital modelling
Optimised navigation of tax credits and rebates

And our layered approach to revenue, which combines pre-sales, secures debt, tax incentives, and licenses, reduces exposure and stabilises investor returns.

Investing in Women is Profitable

Female directors remain underrepresented, comprising just 27% in France and under 20% in the US. Yet films by women consistently outperform male-led ones on ROI, and this gap in capital allocation presents a rare investment inefficiency.

In 2024, 42% of the top 100 grossing films in the U.S. were led by women—a record, and a sign the market is beginning to catch up.

This isn’t charity. It’s behavioural finance: when bias distorts logic, opportunity emerges.

10+ short films produced
1,000+ creatives employed

Why Now?

Content demand is peaking. Government incentives are aligned. And ESG-conscious investing is reshaping how capital flows into culture.

Yet the market for female-led film remains significantly undercapitalised, offering a limited-time strategic advantage for early investors.

Structured. Visionary. Female-led. Future-proof.
