Experience is a valuable asset that empowers Creators to navigate various challenges, make informed decisions, and contribute effectively to organisational success. While technical competencies are essential, experience skills encompass a broader set of capabilities acquired through practical application and exposure to diverse situations. For the purposes of this Agreement, 'Creators' means the natural person, company or other legal entity who executes and has the principal financial and artistic responsibility for the production of a film by developing, financing, recording, completing and exploiting it, and who thereby acquires and is responsible for the rights included in the cinematographic work. 'Established Creators' means a natural person referred to in the first subparagraph who has produced either at least two feature films or two drama series or one feature film and one drama series. The productions must have been carried out without any technical or financial fault. In addition, an established producer must be professionally active in the film and television industry and be associated with a production company whose principal activity is film and television production. The company must:
(i) Have a well-developed production activity for regular film or television production; or
(ii) Be able to demonstrate a well-developed and long-term plan for both production activities and the company's general development.
In addition to technical skills and expertise, possessing positive personal qualities is essential for fostering a harmonious and productive work environment. These qualities not only contribute to individual success but also enhance teamwork, communication, and overall organisational effectiveness.
Professionalism: Creators should demonstrate professionalism in their demeanour, behaviour, and interactions with colleagues, clients, and MPC holders. This includes being punctual, reliable, and respectful, as well as maintaining a positive attitude and upholding ethical standards.
Integrity and honesty: Integrity is the foundation of trust and credibility in the workplace. Creators should act with honesty, transparency, and sincerity in all their dealings, adhering to ethical principles and fulfilling their commitments with integrity and honesty.
Reliability and accountability: Reliable Creators can be depended upon to fulfill their responsibilities consistently and effectively. They take ownership of their actions, accept accountability for their decisions, and follow through on commitments, ensuring that tasks are completed with diligence and professionalism.
Financial literacy is crucial for Creators across various roles and functions. Understanding financial principles, concepts, and practices enables individuals to make informed decisions, contribute to organisational success, and effectively manage resources.
Budgeting and financial planning: Creators should understand the basics of budgeting and financial planning, including how to create, monitor, and manage budgets for projects, departments, or initiatives. This involves setting financial goals, forecasting expenses, and identifying opportunities to optimise resource allocation.
Financial analysis: Proficiency in financial analysis enables Creators to interpret and evaluate financial data to inform decision-making. This includes analysing income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and other financial reports to assess performance, identify trends, and make strategic recommendations.
Revenue generation and sales opportunities: Understanding revenue generation processes and sales methods is essential for Creators involved in business development roles in the project. Creators should be able to report latest sales numbers, assess MPC-holders, and develop strategies to drive revenue growth from their projects.
Taxation principles: Basic knowledge of taxation principles and regulations is essential for Creators to ensure compliance and optimise tax efficiency. This includes understanding key tax concepts, deductions, credits, and reporting requirements relevant to their role and jurisdiction.
When considering candidates, organisations often conduct background checks to ensure the safety and security of their workplace. A criminal record check is one aspect of this process, where providing an individual's past criminal history may occur for Creators. While having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify a candidate from being a Creator, certain project stories and positions in a production may have specific requirements or regulations regarding criminal convictions. Therefore, Creators may be required to consent to a criminal record check as part of the application process. This helps Feni’s users make informed decisions and assess whether a Creators's past criminal history aligns with the responsibilities and requirements of the position displayed in Feni’s service. Additionally, Creators and users should be aware of their rights regarding the disclosure of criminal records and any applicable laws or regulations governing a criminal background checks in their jurisdiction. If Creators doesn’t match to our valuation from our standard precautions Feni will not negotiate with criminals. If Feni by reported whistle blowing or any other trusted source gets to know of a hidden criminal record in a production team of the project, the project may be taken in to lockdown until the investigation regarding this is cleared.
Conditions for receiving grants for Feni users: Feni awards grants on the basis of our policies. Our policies governs how Feni's grants may be awarded. If the conditions in Feni's policies and guidelines differ from the provisions of the decisions, the provisions of Feni’s authority take precedence.
Conditions for reimbursement:
If the beneficiary does not provide a detailed account of the grant within the deadline(30 days) from declaration made, Feni’s reserve the right to suspend the payment of any other grants, even if they have already been awarded. Feni further reserves the right to withhold the grant if the beneficiary has outstanding debts to Feni. Lastly, claims for repayment of grants may be subject to penalty interest in accordance with applicable interest act in the resided production country or in the state Feni find appropriate for the cause.
Film and documentation materials: For production grants(financial or educational) and/or for film release support by Feni via GrantHub(including distribution and exhibition support), Feni have the right to request film and documentation material, so called security material, to the on-going production setup or other live reports in writing regarding the granted project.

(i) Introduction These following govern the disbursement of funds to Creators who have successfully completed a project-funding campaign using Feni’s services. Feni reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. Creators will be notified of any changes, which will become effective immediately upon posting. By using Feni and accepting funds from Feni users, you agree to comply with these following terms:
(ii) Eligibility for payment To be eligible for payment, the following conditions must be met:
(iii) Payment schedule Payments will be made in different ways strictly depending on the level(reputation, name by fame, experience) of the filmmaker and/or the experience and knowledge of the executive Creator and/or for the production company of the project. Feni has the right to reserve the right to modify the payment schedule and customise it for each unique project when Feni deems it necessary. However, as a codex the following are the two most common ways of paying out funds to creators:
Established filmmaker (40% + 30% + 30%)
Lesser-known filmmaker (15% + 25% + 20% + 20% + 20%)
(iv) Verification and documentation Creators must provide the following for verification purposes:
(v) Use of funds Funds must be used solely for the purposes outlined in the project-funding campaign. Misuse of funds will result in penalties, including but not limited to:
(vi) Reporting and accountability Creators are required to provide regular updates on project progress, including:
(vii) Refunds and cancellations In the event that a project cannot be completed:
*Feni campaign fee, Feni processing fee and processing fee from Feni’s cooperating third-party payment gateways is not refundable and not for Creators to refund.
(viii) Taxes and legal compliance Creators are responsible for:
(ix) Dispute resolution Any disputes arising from the disbursement of funds shall be resolved through the following process:
In the event that the production house represented by the executive Creator becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or is unable to meet its financial obligations, the executive Creators reserves the right to initiate bankruptcy proceedings and suggest a offer to buyout public owners connected as MPC-holders of the project. The executive Creator may propose a price deemed appropriate by results or profits til hitherto, which may be significantly lower than the original investment made by the MPC-holders. The offer shall be made in writing first directly to Feni before being presented to any authority, Feni user and/or affiliated Feni companies and will include a detailed rationale for the proposed buyout price. The public MPC-holders will have 30 days from the date of the buyout proposal to accept or reject the offer. Acceptance shall be indicated by a written response to the executive Creator and Feni. Upon acceptance of the buyout offer, the MPC-holders agree to release the executive Creator from any further obligations, liabilities, or claims related to the original funding agreement, thereby allowing the Creator to move forward without encumbrances. This clause shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the production house and/or the executive Creators presented residency of the time the project got successfully funded.
Failed out-turn profits The Creator are allowed to suggest bankruptcy if a product had not brought any profits to the MPC-holders for the past last 7 years. Feni has no obligations or responsibilities in the legality of the bankruptcy process filed by the executive Creator and/or the production company in this scenario. For a “failed to out-turn bankruptcy” to me recognised by the Creator, the MPC-holders first must be given the chance to buy out the IPR from the Creators completely to move on with the project by a new decided executive Creator who will be named at a board meeting attended by MPC-holders with more than 1% ownership in the project. If the MPC-holders by friendly comradeship can’t decide a new executive Creator for the project than the ownership rights will be applicable as valued votes for the project and will be decided by a democratic vote where the MPC-holders with most valued percentage ownership in MPC-holdings in the project get to choose the new named executive Creator. The result of the vote and the regulated protocol of the decision must be sent to Feni no later than 5 business day after it occur to be validated for update in our service.
Originating a separate financial entity in successfully funded project As a project get successfully funded the Executive-Creator takes on the full responsibility to showcase transparency with the MPC-holders and for that reason should construct a separate financial entity and/or financial account for the successfully funded project. This entity and/or financial account will be audit by a third party and/or Feni appointed accountant to endorse trust between the MPC-holders and the Creator. In some projects by Feni labelled “high risk-projects” because of inexperience, lacking of fame by name, and/or other forms of missing trustworthiness to complete a safe production from the Creator, Feni have the right to demand the Creator to originate a separate entity as a company in the country represented by the Creator as the location for the production happening. Feni further also in a labelled “high risk-project” situation has the right to take ownership over that same entity for the shares representing the MPC-holders in regard for and as the representation of Feni’s communities MPC-holders. In this case as Feni takes majority of the ownership of the entity originated by the Creator, Feni are bound to act on the behalf of the MPC-holders. The Creator understand that the purpose of Feni’s involvement is for the protection of the MPC-holders investment in the project and declares that they will cooperate and also give Feni decision making rights and overlook in the daily production enquires that occur to lead the production in a professional manner with the help of third parties and/or by it’s own member of staff suited for the production in compliance with the Creator for the purpose of caring out a safe production environment. The Creator understands that Feni in some rare cases by a public vote including the MPC-holders can overtake productions and the Intellectual property rights from the Creator of a project where the Creator by unlawfulness or other suspicious misbehaviour towards their MPC-holders are putting the collected public funding at obvious risk of loss.
If the executive creator have to break up a on going live funding campaign the creator will be guilty of disruption and accepts to pay a penalty up to 5% of the funding amount already collected at the time of break up. This penalty amount will be reserved to be refunded to the supporting MPC-holders as a repayment for the conversion costs for exchanging currencies to support the campaign through our third party subsidiaries delivering that service and feni processing fee. The demanded amount will be shared between and refunded by Feni and must be payed to Feni no later than 15 days after the announced break up of the on-going funding campaign.
Feni’s decisions regarding awarded grants and declining MPO applications are final and the following decisions can’t be appealed to any general administrative court by the Creator.
