This autumn, adventurer and film-maker Reza Pakravan and journalist Pip Stewart, embarked on an epic journey along the 4,000 km Transamazonian highway to document both the glory and the destruction of one of the planet’s last great untouched areas, the mighty Amazon rain forest.
Travelling the road by bicycle and the river by boat, their journey took the from the Atlantic to the Pacific crossing Brazil and Peru through some of the most remote and hostile places on earth.
The expedition was chronicled by a film crew to produce a documentary of their experience living with Amazonian tribes whose way of life is under severe threat. The majesty of the ecosystem and the humility of tribes juxtaposed with the relentless demands of the 21st century.
Laced with beauty and danger, the filming is complete and film is safely in London. A distribution deal is in place and Fox International has acquired the rights for Spanish-speaking territories with negotiations ongoing with BBC Worldwide and Sony Entertainment.
The production company, Transamazonica Limited, is now seeking investment funding for the Post Production to convert the film into a four-part series and theatrical film cut of what could literally be a last testament.
Underpinned by the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme, which offers an immediate 50% tax relief, and based on the success his previous Kapp to Cape series, Reza Pakravan is able to guarantee an overall 10% return on your three-year investment. This is currently double the return of any Three Year Fixed Rate Bond on the High Street.
There are some non-financial returns too. Depending on the investment level, an investor will be given an Executive Producer or Associate Producer credit in the series. In addition, all investors will be invited to a special cinema screening followed by a private drinks reception where you will have the chance to chat to Reza and Pip about their adventures.
