About Us

Sakonnet Capital Partners, LLC (“Sakonnet”) is an international firm specializing in the underwriting, financing and the acquisition of state film production tax incentives, which are typically in the form of credits or rebates.

Depending on the producer’s needs, Sakonnet can cash flow the tax incentive to provide an additional source of funds to the production or it can provide a commitment to purchase the tax credits thereby providing an exit strategy for the producer.

Our team’s in-depth experience and relationships makes utilizing the tax incentives a simple and reliable process in every jurisdiction. We want to ensure that the tax incentive and lending procedures are a streamlined process so producers can focus on their production and its success.

We value our clients’ business and strive to create on-going relationships by providing flexibility and efficiencies in areas where financial institutions and one-time lenders are unable to do so.
