Why Film & TV Private Debt?

The global Film & TV sector is expanding rapidly, driven by demand from digital platforms and streaming giants. Yet despite this growth, traditional lenders have largely exited the space, leaving behind a €10 billion+ credit gap. This disconnect has created a compelling opening for institutional-grade private debt strategies: structurally secured, non-correlated to traditional asset classes, and collateral-backed — with limited competition and high selectivity.

​

Why Align?

We’ve been operating in media financing for over two decades. and currently raising our third vintage in our private credit strategy, building on a deep track record of successful investments across 450+ Film & TV projects globally.

Our focus: capital preservation with upside participation, through a proven approach:

• Asset-backed lending at the start of production

• Collateralized structures built on tax credits, distributor contracts, and insured delivery

• Equity kickers  with breakout potential

As senior lender, our strategy is to generate stable returns from the debt component, independent of box office performance — while retaining upside in cases of commercial success.

​

Every project undergoes rigorous filtering, out of 400+ sourced annually, only 4–5 typically make it through to investment.
