Black Sands Entertainment

A company that breaks decades of marginalization in the entertainment industry.

We tell stories that Hollywood refuses to do and we give the power to the fans.

This company has succeeded where so many other independent black-owned publishers had failed because we embrace our core customer. While many other companies try to stay neutral in their PR, Black Sands has always spoken on black issues affecting the community and the publishing industry.

Black Sands, the Seven Kingdoms is an open rebellion against typical Hollywood whitewashing and it is by far the most successful indie comic series out there right now. Why is that? Because the black community made it happen.

Our history must be told by us.

What happened since the last investment Round?

We have been on a role on all facets of production. Currently, we are deep into the production of the BSP application, with wireframes and final design ready for the website, and wireframes in development for the platforms.

Our sales have never been higher. We have mastered advertising on social media and challenged ourselves to hit $100,000 in sales in a single month. With the combined efforts of Patreon and Shopify, we hit that goal in August and now are doing a $600,000 print run so we can scale even harder.  Key notables on this feat.

• 10+ million impressions a month (50% from ads)
• Top 1% clickthrough rate among ecommerce ads on facebook/IG according to Clearbanc
• 90th percentile in valuation for ecommerce sites according to Clearbanc
• 80,000 visitors a month.
• net 30 USD per sale on average.
• 4x return on ad spend.

We've sold 60,000+ copies of our comics.

And also successfully published over five books a year versus the
indie average rate of 1.5. We have over 200,000 followers across multiple social media
platforms, raised $140,000 from Kickstarter across four campaigns, and generated $380,000 in sales year-to-date. We're ready. 

Episode 1 of Black Sands has garnered over 1M views on YouTube.

We have senior-level animation directors from Pixar, Disney, and Bron.

The market is huge too.

Why you should invest

The reason is quite simple. You do not want to be a consumer anymore. Right now, all the major black intellectual properties out there are 100% owned by corporate entities that do not represent the communities they sell to.

You buy Black Panther and the money leaves the community. You want your kids to have strong positive images but they should not be curated by Hollywood. You don't want 200 films about slavery in the last 35 years but ZERO films about African civilizations.

This is a cultural phenomenon and it is time to take our stand. I decided to do equity crowdfunding to give my fans and supporters the opportunity to grow with me. It is our time! Join our campaign today.
