AMBI

In 2016, Global Pictures Media signed an exclusive 2-year agreement with AMBI Distribution to co-finance its US releases. The first three films set to be released under the pact are FINDING STEVE MCQUEEN, ARCTIC JUSTICE: THUNDER SQUAD, and LAMBORGHINI. AMBI anticipates utilizing upwards of $100MM of P&A to release its films over the next 2 years. The financing arrangement calls for approx. 70% of debt/mezz P&A from AMBI and 35% of media from Global Pictures.
