‘Ultimate Gift’ Creators Gear Up for Movie Release
February 27, 2007 | Read Time: 1 minute
A new film that suggests ways for people to pass their wealth onto the next generation tells the story of a rich baron who, nearing death, decides to leave his fortune to his grandson, and imparts moral lessons to the boy in a series of videos he leaves for him, reports Forbes.
The Ultimate Gift movie is the latest in a string of efforts to promote a book of the same name on wealth transfer by Jim Stovall, the magazine reports. Fox Faith is releasing the movie, starring James Garner, to general audiences on March 9, but already the film is generating buzz for one of its backers, Stanford Financial Group, in Houston, where it has been shown to prospective clients in private screenings.
“We’ve tracked a good bit of multimillion-dollar relationships that have come to us because of them,” Suzanne Hamm, an executive at Stanford, tells Forbes.
