ADD VENTURE CAPITAL FUND CREATES A “BACKLASH”
 Add Venture Capital Fund Limited (AVCFL) plays an Executive Producer role in the movie, Backlash, currently being filmed in Trinidad. AVCFL has thrown its support behind Backlash by providing Galt Alliance Films with funding for the movie. Add Venture Capital Fund Ltd. provides equity financing for new and existing companies. The Fund was born out of Clico Investment Bank (CIB), which boasts of being the first financial institution to launch a venture capital company in the local industry. Since CIB’s launch of the fund in 1997, AVCFL has made significant investments in various sectors including media, manufacturing, tourism and security services.
Galt Alliance Films was incorporated in April 2004 and its principals have been involved in the film making industry for the past ten (10) years. The principals of Galt, Gerard Joseph and Dave Cabral, were involved in the production of the local movie Men in Gray, with Joseph writing, producing and directing the film. Joseph’s Hollywood based company, Tritan-Northstar Entertainment will be responsible for the production and directing of Backlash. The principals of Galt decided to film the action flick on location in Trinidad in an attempt to showcase Trinidad and Tobago as a viable option for film making. Backlash features Danielle Burgio, Matrix stunt double for Trinity & CSI Miami, as well as Bas Rutten of Eliminator and The Vault. |
