Brian Marwood, Manchester City’s Chief Football Operations Director said. “When I go to sign players, I don’t have a cabinet full of trophies to show; I’m selling them a dream. And when I show them what the Etihad Campus will look like, it's going to blow them away.” Read At KINGDOM STUDIOS we have the same expectations to offer but do not have the Hollywood Tools to do a great pitch with CGI about our Amazing Characters & Stories, but have prepared this basic website to present our vision, ideas, current research progress, multi media extraction potentials and our Project Proposal. We want to be an Arabian Inspired 'Ideas Lab, Stories Factory, Content Creation Studio, A Platform' for the Middle East for a Global Multi Media Group. Developing films from the first stage - the idea - begins by buying the movie rights to a book and scripts. The ImageNation-ParksMcDonald $10m fund is for developing projects by buying rights to stories and hiring screenwriters to turn them into scripts. With KINGDOM STUDIO, OUR MEDIA FUNDER WILL HAVE ITS OWN STORIES FACTORY - inspiring its own genre of refreshing renaissance of Globally Exciting Arabian Blockbusters. Based on a time framed / progressive / success / outcomes, we want our studio to evolve into an Middle East owned / based / staffed stories factory. Our idea is to set-up a phased in studio in THE MIDDLE EAST. All our legal addresses will be ME registered. We want to excel in this endeavour and want our success address to be under the flag in the GULF. Our 3 phase vision is
We require a facility, an environment that is efficient and harmonious to excite people to excel in producing quality research and information literary content, turning ideas and topics into entertaining literature. This entails a small functional building; quality creative personnel; research and work flow infrastructure; other best technical inputs. The projected loan requirements are tabulated briefly below. We expect about 3 Books to be completed and do negotiated deals within 24 months so that LOANS SHOULD BE REPAYABLE through EXCHANGE FOR FILM DEALS and BOOK DEALS and the studio should become self financing and progressive. IMPORTANT NOTE - WHY THIS PROJECT SIZE? It will work on many projects simultaneously 1. At the start of the project all books 1-2-3-4 will begin towards scheduled Development dates - simultaneously. 2. A Slate @ 20 other titles will develop simultaineously - from 10-25-50-75-100 pp available to funder as treatments, synopsis, novellas for films, short stories, TV documentaries, newspapers, magazines, news, websites etc

PROPOSED NEW STUDIO FLOOR PLAN LAYOUT -
IMPORTANT 1. The studio is expected to function at times early mornings, sometimes late nights, over weekends, by Research assistants, input of college and university students, and also by freelance partner Authors. We prefer a staff resides attached to this studio for administrative and security purposes. An apartment of about 125 sq. Is advised and is not included in this plan - but can be included within requested maximum Budget. 2. We intend to locate our studio about 4 kilometres from the city of Durban - at a suburb Morningside Or nearby. Approximately 3 to 5 kilometres from this area are 5 important colleges, universities and Technikons from which we want to benefit mutually from students & academics, joint projects, Collaboration, research input, convert PhD thesis into books & part time voluntary / paid assistants. FUNDERS FUTURE EXIT OPTIONS 1. The property / building can be bought / built by ownership of the funder - thereby Recuperating 70%+ of the investment cost - including movable assets. 2. At least 2 books of film potential value can be in lieu of balance of the 30% loan. Just 2 Books of film screenplay conversion value can secure about $ 1 million minimum in film Rights. The books - GOG MAGOG and PYRAMID BUILDERS franchises - given the best Style & Treatment - potential market value $ 0.5 minimum to $ 3 million plus each in film rights. Also in the Short Term 2 Novellas can be fast tracked for conversion to Movie Screenplay - to reduce 0% risk in lieu of loan. 3. We firmly believe in the potential of our vision - a funders risk is almost limited - risk Free. When the studio outputs exceptionally well, the funders media group could Advantage from a source of constant stream of stories. AHMED TAKATKAH OF SINBAD VENTURES MIDDLE EAST In a new exponentially growing and massively connected world, global companies and even global startups can reach global audiences much more easily than ever. Language is not a barrier any more, and innovations in web and mobile products and services can be easily customized for language, location or maybe culture if needed. Although I wonder if there is still a need for customization at all, knowing that user needs are becoming almost the same around the globe. However, Arab VCs, including myself until very recently, are still encouraging entrepreneurs and start-ups in the MENA region to create local copies of successful international online products to serve the Arab user, and only the Arab user. The rationale behind this is simple. Local startups have much less competition, and much less risk. We just have to live with the fact that they also come with less returns. On the other hand, if global companies want to expand to Arabia, there will be a hope that they will acquire their local copies, just like Maktoob and GoNabIt. This worked in different parts of the world earlier, so why not in Arabia? For the past three years, local or regional startups in the Arab world have been a trend; everyone wanted to do one. Creating an Arabic copy of a successful international startup to target Arab users sounded like the best thing to do. Even we VCs wanted to invest in the Facebook of Arabia, the Twitter, the Amazon, eBay, KickStarter, Mint, Foursquare, and even the AOL of Arabia. I wonder if this is still valid. I wonder if we have already missed that train! Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, KickStarter and many more companies have already expanded to Arabia without the need to acquire any local clones. Things have changed dramatically. Forcing a Shift - This local focus resulted in neglecting whoever is trying to create a global startup among Arab entrepreneurs. Although they come with high potential, they also come with higher competition and much higher failure risk. In addition, such entrepreneurs need more funding because they have a higher customer acquisition cost. So angel investors and venture capitalists rarely invest in them. This forces those entrepreneurs to convert back to local markets to feel accepted in such a community, and have more chances to get funded, than to keep their dreams limited by the local or regional market potential. However, some might leave all these limitations behind and just move to Silicon Valley to pursue their dreams. There, they will at least get a chance to pitch to American VCs and angel investors who actually prefer global ideas and bigger markets. And a few years later, we hear about an Arab-American who sold his company to Google or Microsoft. Read Article |
