Money

  1. 01

    Epic pays the studio

    Sessions at The Compound billed to Epic / FakeBusy at the rate card. MW8 does not mark up the day.

  2. 02

    25% returns to Lunchbox

    The Scale Fund. Producers, features, mix, travel, clears. Not a recoupable advance against masters.

  3. 03

    MW8 sits on rights + ops

    Admin or co-pub on new works. Management of the 90-day. The remaining studio stays at The Compound.
