Creating Value
Hi, I'm Jacob Brumfield
I'm a filmmaker and systems builder.
I find ways to make complex processes simpler, less risky, and more efficient.
We developed our film platform to reduce risk and standardize a repeatable approach to generate revenue while maintaining creative and cultural integrity.
Our ability to source projects, provide financing and swiftly bring them to market stands at the center of our process.
The CO\\OP Studio system solves common problems every film and tv show must overcome by platforming solutions.
We are like a film factory and our processes simplify an often overly complex system.
Overview
CO\\OP Studios employs a four-stage greenlight protocol that systematically evaluates and mitigates risk while maximizing project potential. Productions must pass all four stages before receiving final greenlight approval and funding allocation.
Our process integrates creative, financial, production, and marketing factors into a comprehensive evaluation framework that ensures both artistic integrity and commercial viability.
