CIN·RGY IS A GLOBAL INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION COMPANY INVOLVED IN THE CREATION AND PURCHASE OF CONTENT FOR FEATURE FILM, TV SERIES, AND NEW MEDIA PLATFORMS

CIN·RGY was created out the Covid Pandemic of 2020 to capitalize on industry disruption, and favorable trends in the broader entertainment industry led by the acceleration of globalization, digitization, and the unprecedented demand for content.

We are strategically positioned to capitalize on consumer viewing preferences, to decisively pursue the best avenue of distribution for any given project, and to maximize returns.

We have improved the management of the creative process to maximize profits, addressing many of the systemic issues endemic to the independent film marketplace.

We have developed a fiscally sound production process reliant on data science to significantly increase the opportunity for financial success.

Our capital structure tackles characteristics inherent in the independent film market that undermine the relationship with the production and its investors: i.e. transparency, alignment, fees etc.

Increase awareness by strategically releasing promotional material to create sales and Festival Buzz.
