American Picture House Corp (OTC: APHP) is an independent film finance and intellectual property company that acquires, options, develops, and finances motion picture projects. It makes money through two approaches: structured film finance, where it takes senior secured or first-priority recoupment positions in projects, and owned or controlled intellectual property, where it builds a library by acquiring or optioning scripts and other properties. Under a December 29, 2025 amendment to its agreement with SSS Entertainment, LLC covering projects BARRON'S COVE and POSE, APHP is entitled to 100% of net revenues until it recovers a $1,150,000 priority amount, then 15% of net revenues until SSS reaches its recoupment amount, then 100% thereafter. The company finances operations through equity offerings and debt, including related-party borrowings and a commercial line of credit. As of December 31, 2025, APHP reported a material weakness in internal controls. Bannor Michael MacGregor serves as Chairperson and CEO and controls 18.69% of common shares plus Series A Preferred Shares as of the 10-K filed March 30, 2026.
