LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/23/13 -- Crown City Pictures, Inc. (OTCBB:CCPI) announces that it has established an entertainment and production fund to be managed by the company and used to develop and promote unique entertainment content opportunities. The fund will operate as a limited liability company with Crown City as the managing member, for which it will receive a management fee as well as a share of profits from the entertainment opportunities which it funds. A commitment for a $7.7 million investment into the fund has been received already from Alexander Capital Equity, Inc., subject to completion of all regulatory requirements for the establishment and operation of the fund. The remaining $5 million in funding will be undertaken as a private offering to accredited investors as soon as the required offering materials have been prepared and all regulatory requirements have been met.

The fund is a content accelerator fund that has been created to take advantage of strategically diversified opportunities across a multitude of content media (film, television, gaming, apps, and select entertainment technology) as both, a finance and a creative management solution for discriminating content creators. The fund will provide financing for content at various stages of pre-production and production, based on mitigated risk opportunity.

Investments by the fund will be guided by the principle that successful content creation is not just a matter of finance but of getting access to resources and people that can create the best possible content.

The fund will focus primarily on the following content opportunities:

- Independent U.S. genre motion pictures by acclaimed filmmakers with budgets of $5M and under;

- International independent motion picture productions by acclaimed U.S. filmmakers with budgets of $3M and under

- Independent Documentaries with budgets generally between $200,000 and $500,000, which fall under the following categories:

- Notable documentary filmmaker or company involvement

- High social-impact documentaries with high production value and critical marketability or mass-market appeal

- Investment in Video Games and Apps and/or micro-ownership investment directly in creative App and game content creation companies;

- Investment in trend-setting online content or micro-ownership investment directly in creative on-line content companies;

- Investment in docu-reality television developmental production, including in Executive Producer partnership

According to Michael W. Abbott, Crown City's Chairman and CEO, "The success of the new fund will rely greatly on its ability to take advantage of strategically diversified 'window-of-opportunity' content, made available through valuable professional relationships. The mechanism ultimately elevating this fund will be empowered by the creative collective of content creators who seek to elevate their vision with the support of the fund's accessible liquid capital and the guidance of the fund's management."
