Meet Bryce Dressler.

Bryce is a filmmaker with Ailim Films based in Los Angeles.

Ailim Films is not just a film production company; they are storytellers who believe in the power of cinema to inspire, challenge, and transform.

Founded by a team of passionate filmmakers and creative visionaries, Ailim Films has been at the forefront of producing innovative and engaging content that resonates with audiences worldwide.

How has Formations helped your business?

Formations have been instrumental in laying the financial foundation for Ailim Films, enabling us to navigate film production's complex and often challenging landscape with confidence and clarity. Their financial structuring and management expertise have provided us with a robust, efficient, and scalable model.

During our first year with Formations, we created our first entirely in-house production. The project was named 'Shook', and it showcased our commitment to pushing the boundaries of conventional storytelling.

This series was inspired by Shakespeare and set in a unique comedic universe, which made it both entertaining and thought-provoking. 'Shook' is a testament to our blend of historical context and modern humor, and we believe it will be a groundbreaking addition to our portfolio.

The support Formations provided during this time is what enabled us to be able to focus on our core passion of storytelling without the constant stress of financial management. It’s been the most significant value we’ve received from Formations.

Formations have provided us with an indispensable framework for financial planning, tax optimization, and compliance, which are critical in the film industry, where budgetary discipline and fiscal foresight are essential.

But my favorite feature of Formations is undoubtedly their personal and hands-on approach to working with Ailim Films. I have gotten to know the Formations team and Kennedie well over the years, and this approach has provided us with tailor-made financial solutions and fostered a deep sense of partnership and trust.

How did you feel about tax season before Formations?

Before partnering with Formations, tax season at Ailim Films was often approached with apprehension and stress. It was viewed as a cumbersome, once-a-year task that required significant time and resources to navigate.

The complexities of tax compliance in the film industry and the challenge of efficiently managing financial records and maximizing deductions made it a period of uncertainty and anxiety.

Our focus was more on getting through it than understanding and optimizing it.

How did you feel about tax season after purchasing Formations?

Since purchasing Formations, our entire perspective on tax season has transformed dramatically. It's no longer a daunting, annual chore but an integral part of a continuous, year-long financial management process.

With Formations, we've developed a proactive approach to financial and tax planning. Their expertise and guidance have turned tax season into an opportunity to assess our financial health, strategize for the future, and ensure that we're making the most of tax incentives and credits available in our industry.

Since partnering with Formations, we’ve gained valuable insights into strategic financial planning, understanding the complexities of tax optimization and compliance specific to the film industry, and effective cash flow management.

We've learned the importance of meticulous record-keeping, how to interpret financial statements accurately, and the significance of cost control and budgeting. Most importantly, the experience has highlighted the immense value of having personalized financial advice, which has been instrumental in our growth and success.
