Investing in Film Development with Top Cat Films
 Development investing is an alternative to investing in films by funding production. Return begin as soon as film production begins, without waiting for commercial success. Additionally, development investors still get to participate in the potential upside of hit films.

Top Cat Films is world citizen in the film industry and the films we make are intended for world audiences. We are unabashedly profit-driven. We want to make hit films that will be enjoyed by world audiences. And this is what separates us from other film companies in Australia.
Top Cat is a relatively new production company. Robert Galinsky and Elizabeth Howatt-Jackman decided to collaborate only in 2006. During that time a remarkable number of milestones have been achieved.

Four years since commencing development of the original script, Prey starring pop-star Natalie Bassingthwaighte and heartthrob Jesse Johnson (son of Miami Vice Don Johnson) was completed and launched to the world. With the average film taking about eight years from conception to screen, it is a major achievement to finish in half that time and for about half what it would cost to shoot in the US.
-
In spite of the Global Financial Crisis which made the 2009 Marche du Cannes the worst attended in recent memory (majors such as Sony and Paramount did not attend) Prey was one of the few low budget indie films to secure a US distribution deal.
-
May 2009, Prey was launched in Australasia with a limited theatrical season and unfavourable reviews from the critics *(see below). The DVD release is scheduled for October 09 through Paramount Pictures Home Video, with the largest pre-order for a DVD release by any independent Australian film ever (equating to 60% of the pre-order for Dark Knight). The Australian DVD release is also being supported by a ‘win a trip to Vegas’ sponsored by the Nevada Tourism Commission.
