Yuri Rutman, CEO of film finance, production, and distribution company Noci Pictures Entertainment (www.noci.com) has announced a Spring 2011 start date for "Milwaukee", which will be directed by David R. Ellis ("Shark Night 3d", "The Final Destination", "Cellular", "Snakes On A Plane").

"I am very excited that we will be bringing to screen a truly unique film which will be directed by such a prominent film director", Rutman states.

"Milwaukee" which was written by Christopher Stapleton & Barry Ambrose, who is writing the upcoming film "Arabian Nights" that will be directed by Chuck Russell, is a thriller about a vengeful cop who falls hard for a headstrong young widow who helps him hunt down his father's killers in 1950's Milwaukee.

The film is being financed by Noci Pictures Entertainment & Mind's Eye Entertainment and is being produced by Kevin Dewalt, Yuri Rutman, David Cormican, & Victor Love, who is president of Noci Pictures and will oversee "Milwaukee's" 3D production.

"We are currently making offers to cast and should be making some announcements shortly on who are leads are", Rutman states. "This film is just one of many in our pipeline which is supporting a robust and healthy private equity investment environment for A-level films which is creating a bigger window for many hedge funds, family offices, and private equity groups to be our long term partners which is allowing us to finance and produce 'Milwaukee' as we as several other films over the coming year".

"I think the current Toronto Film Festival has been a great gauge in terms of whats been going on between privately financed films by companies such as ours, investors, as well as the ROI with a lot of active studios and buyers eager to buy original content", Rutman adds. "I think between global investors educating themselves on the upside of film as a market neutral non-correlated asset class, our internal risk minimization strategies, as well as a lot of institutional and retail capital sitting on the sidelines looking at new alternative investment strategies, there will be more players in this space including investors and new companies similar to us that will be popping up that will be fully capable of developing, financing, and producing films within a portfolio".
