In 1987, Joe Wizan Productions decided to invest in a $5 million Canadian investment firm for the total financing of his company's projects over the U.S., and merged his company Sterobcar Productions, with a Canadian investment firm Black Pearl Resources, in order to start out a new company Wizan Film Properties, and that Brian Findlay would be a principal of the firm, which lined up Canadian principals in the new fund, and instead of going hat-in-hand to studios, Wizan is planning on to develop screenplays in close collaborations with writers, and to flesh out packages with stars and majors before shopping the properties to the majors.^[2]
