VIABILITY ASSESSMENT RATING VARÂ GUIDE
The safety of your investment is important to us. The OAF community reviews and offer recommendations by rating each submitted project on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being films with the most potential. The VAR Score sits next to the Investors Review which is your chance as an investor to rate any project you invest in. Both scores should give you a fairly good idea of how well the film will do. Please note that having high a VAR and Investor Review score does not guarantee the success of a film. A film can still flop, meaning it fails to breakeven for a number of reasons.
