Story

Ruby and Max are surfers living a sun-drenched fairytale out of their Toyota Tacoma in Big Sur. He has a head injury and can be difficult. She is... well, she's PERFECT.

When an earthquake traps them along the Pacific Coast Highway, their contrasting responses to the crisis fracture their relationship.

Juxtaposing the horror of a disaster film with an intimate portrait of a couple in crisis - A Minor Incident explores who we become under the pressure of an emergency.

Basically, it's this:

Production Notes

Hello again! Since you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of the page, we’d love to nerd out with you for a second about how we are actually building this movie.

We are incredibly excited to be implementing a progressive production framework modeled after the landmark equity structure used on the Oscar-nominated film Sing Sing.

We call it Equity Pay parity. It’s a model that operates a bit like a co-op, ensuring that our cast and crew receive equity points based on the time and expertise they invest in the project. Everyone on our set receives the exact same rate, and everyone shares in the film's financial upside.

This model creates a fiercely dedicated, transparent working environment. When a crew isn't just working for a flat day rate, but actually owns a piece of our story. They aren't just employees; they are stakeholders.

We aren't the only ones moving in this direction. Alongside Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley’s team at Ethos Industries, others like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Artists Equity are proving that rewarding artists alongside investors is the future of sustainable filmmaking.

What does this mean for you as an investor? On our set, the crew and talent are participating in the profits right alongside you. We have meticulously structured our financing to protect both interests fairly—protecting your vital capital investment alongside their invaluable time investment. We highly encourage you to review our offering materials and contracts to see exactly how this equity pool is structured.

In short: when everyone on set is invested, everybody is motivated to make it great.

Before You Go

We’ve reached the end of our pitch, but before you move on, we’d love for you to think about what brought you to this page in the first place.

Maybe you were once trapped on the pacific coast highway and are excited by the on screen representation. Maybe you're nostalgic for the disaster films of the early aughts. Maybe, like us, you’ve always harbored a dream of bringing a movie to life. Or maybe you just like us.

Whatever your reason, joining a feature film is a leap of faith. But, if you choose to make that leap with us, you won't be doing it alone.

Again, if you have questions, want to dig into details, or just want to meet the team - feel free to set up a meeting via Calendry.

We'll be with you every step of the way.

Thanks.

Billy & Team
