People
have asked me what we need for Horses and Heroes. What they are
really asking is how would helping us benefit them. The answer is
very simple. We are offering excellent opportunities to embed
products/services in a family friendly documentary and the
possibility to make a profit.
Horses
and Heroes is a documentary, which will help military personnel and
veterans find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional
challenges brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy doesn't
not involve drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts. What
it does do is help them find new ways to see and react to their
emotional triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to
work. It can't replace what was lost, but it can give them the
confidence to see that they are more than the sum of their body
parts.
Although
any company who actively supports veterans would make excellent
sponsors, we are offering companies like USAA and New Day USA their
specific target audience. Anheuser-Busch, Verizon, ManTech, CSX, and
Union Pacific would also greatly benefit from supporting Horses and
Heroes. But we are very innovative with our placement and will be
able to find ways to promote any family friendly product.
We
are offering ten second acknowledging spots at the open and close of
the show as well as three thirty second show bumpers at the half hour
marks. Additionally, sponsors logos in the form of banners will
appear in the background, much like at sporting events. If the
sponsor has promotional material, such as jackets, hats, mugs, etc,
we can arrange for them to receive positive placement within the
documentary. We will also be thanking the sponsor in the credits and
have an active link on our website to their site.
Horses
and Heroes will be formatted for cable networks, such as the Military
Channel, other Discovery networks, History Channel, AMC, and A &
E. We also have a foreign television distributor interested in
presenting Horses and Heroes to their European networks. However, we
will also be sponsoring a very limited theatrical release, which will
act as fundraisers for veterans’ organizations such as Wounded
Warrior Project, Military Warriors Support Foundation, Coming Home
Project, and Operation Second Chance etc. Documentaries and films,
which are shown in theatres and in film festivals, receive better
network leasing contracts as well as greater DVD/download sales. In
addition, the expenses connected to fund raising events would be
considered a donation to the non-profit group and thereby they will
be tax deductible.
For
one sponsor this package would cost approximately the same as one
national ad, but they would also be considered an investor and
thereby have the opportunity to make a profit. We have done the
paperwork to grandfather in Horses and Heroes into Section 181 of the
Job Act, which gives investors a K-1 federal tax deduction.
