Sector 7 has just joined forces with Warner Brothers
"Our look is second to none here at Sector 7 Films. It's what moviegoers are accustomed to seeing: the big theatrical look and sound. Above is a clip from a series we are currently working on called 'The Fallen'."
Why We Do It
Sector 7 Films' purpose is to provide high-quality motion pictures to the entertainment industry. Our company is headquartered in Augusta, GA. We are very fortunate to have secured a partnership with Warner Bros. distribution company. This deal allows us to have unlimited access to placement for all of our future projects. Sector 7 Films has an advantage over most film companies due to the fact we are a self-contained company. This means we can complete every aspect of filmmaking. Pre-production, Production, and Post Production are all completed in-house. The company has three teams that have been strategically formed over the years. They all possess the right skill set, work ethic, and attitudes for this type of undertaking. Sector 7 will impact the industry by incorporating new film technologies and inventions for the
next generation.

They bring with them a chilling ultimatum:Vincent has one final job to complete before he walks away from his life of crime. The job is simple-hold Victoria captive until her wealthy family pays a hefty ransom. As days turn into nights, an unintended intimacy develops between Victoria and Vincent.

Unraveled
In a secluded home nestled within a dense forest, the wealthy family of Ron, his high-maintenance wife Rebecca, and his sweet-natured daughter Brianna from a previous marriage, prepare for a posh social gathering. As they set out, little do they realize their home is about to be invaded. The target: a safe in Ron’s home office. But the intruders efforts are thwarted when the family unexpectedly returns due to a flat tire. "Unraveled" takes viewers on an unforgettable, high-octane ride that challenges them to unravel its mysteries before the twisted and climactic conclusion is revealed.
Opportunities
As of November 2023, Sector 7 Films is looking to close two major projects. The first is the Nicki Minaj motion picture called "Nicki." This movie will delve deep into Nicki's life, from a little girl in Queens, New York, to the top of the music industry. Her struggles, successes, fights, love, and mission are what this movie will explore for the first time, showcasing the rise of Nicki.
Michael Jackson, also known as the King of Pop, will be forever remembered as the man who changed the music game forever. He broke records and gave us timeless music. His life was full of ups and downs. His fans never got to know the Michael that his family and friends knew. That will change with the docu-series "Re-writing HIStory." You'll finally get to see the real Michael Jackson.
We Have Mastered our Crafted
We've invested substantial effort to reach this juncture, securing a significant distribution deal, forging vital partnerships with major corporations, and assembling unparalleled film crews. Recognizing that this is only the inception, our path to becoming a dominant force in this industry demands a singular commitment. Outwork all, surpassing any individual or company. For us, it's as simple as that because our moment has arrived. We film out of love, labor for the future, and World-Wide Impact.
Our Look
When you experience a Sector 7 film, our goal is for you to become completely immersed in it. Our films exude the grandeur of a blockbuster, both in appearance and in the emotions they evoke. With a billion dollar visual appeal that resonates with audiences, we're regarded as the go to film company for unparalleled cinematic experiences. Click the stills above to witness perfection.
Our Sound
From soundtracks to scoring, voice-overs to foley, the audio experience must be unparalleled. It holds equal importance to the visual aspects of the film. We approach sound with utmost seriousness and dedication.
Our Goal
We wholeheartedly embrace the notion that the future has arrived, here and now.

It is with this resolute dedication that we have meticulously constructed our company from the foundation up. We firmly believe that by delivering what people truly desire, the extraordinary history we create becomes an inevitable outcome.
Think About it
Vision Expansion
With three teams, we can effectively manage approximately three projects per quarter, assuming they don't heavily rely on visual effects. This annualizes to a total of 12 projects each year. If we take the lower end estimate, with a consumption of 700k units priced at $13.99 each, this results in a gross revenue of $117,516,000.00. Additionally, when factoring in income from product placement, soundtracks, and merchandise, we aim to continually expand our capacity by adding a minimum of three teams annually, ultimately reaching 12 teams by year 4.
