Three films · two in recoupment · one shooting
Screens shown for shape, not for sign-off
This area is an outline. The URD asks for investor login, progress on the films they are in, recoupment against waterfall targets, and a link to the deck from the Script Manager — “lots of graphs and charts”, and a longer conversation still to have. What follows is the shape of the screen so the portal has six real doors and not five and a placeholder.

Read the deck
Decks come from the Script Manager, so the version an investor reads is the version the writer and producer signed off — not a PDF from six weeks ago.

What this area still needs

Rushes access
Open question in the URD. If investors see rushes, that is a security and expectations question as much as a feature.
Financial promotions
Showing unraised films to investors is regulated. Who can see the slate, and on what basis, needs a decision before this is built.
Where the numbers come from
Recoupment is only as good as the sales agent’s reporting. The portal needs a defined feed, not re-keyed statements.
Tax credit and subsidy tracking
Sits in the finance manager, surfaced here.
