What is a film completion guaranty?

A Film Completion Guaranty (also called a completion bond) is a guarantee given by a completion guarantor (such as a completion bond company) to a potential investor or lender.

What are the obligations of the completion guarantor?

The completion guarantor is guaranteeing to the financier that the film will be finished on time and on budget. If the production runs over budget or is taking longer to complete than anticipated, the guarantor will take over production to ensure that the picture is finished.

If the guarantor fails to complete and deliver the film, it will repay the financier in full for all sums advanced.

Are there limitations on the obligations of the completion guarantor?

Yes. The completion guarantor is under no obligation under the Guaranty until the strike price (production financing) has been advanced.

Additionally, the guarantor is not responsible for obtaining any rating for the film, or to deliver any materials other than the delivery materials. The guarantor is not responsible for the quality of the film itself.

Subordination of Completion Guarantor's Claims

The completion guarantor will subordinate any claims it may have against the producer to the repayment of the financier and all of the financier's rights and security interests.
