BUILDUP is an independent film production company founded by cinematographer, filmmaker and producer Alexey Andreev.
We develop and produce original feature films for Russian and international audiences. Every project originates within BUILDUP — from the initial concept and screenplay development to financing, production and distribution strategy.
We invest our own capital, creative work and production resources in every film we initiate. For each project, we may also bring together a limited group of private investors who participate alongside us.
For Russian-language films, BUILDUP works with local investors, producers, distributors and industry partners.
For international projects, BUILDUP develops the film and finances the Russian side of production together with its investors. The foreign side is financed and managed by an international co-production partner, who may also provide cast, local production infrastructure, sales and worldwide distribution.
Our goal is not simply to produce individual films, but to create original intellectual property, retain a share in the rights and build a long-term BUILDUP film library.
Each film is structured as an independent creative and business venture with its own financing, responsibilities, recoupment terms and distribution plan.
