More about the story:Ready to Invest?Our offering involves preferred stock ownership, giving you a stake in the film alongside us. Investors are prioritized to recoup 110% of their principal investment before profit-sharing begins. Following this, investors receive a pro-rata share of 50% of the backend, along with exclusive perks outlined above.How does the film make money?There are a variety of ways for films to generate revenue:Box Office: The most traditional and significant revenue stream for films is box office earnings. When a film is shown in theaters, a portion of ticket sales goes to the film's distributor and production studio. The percentage varies depending on factors like the film's budget, distribution deals, and performance.Home Entertainment: Films generate revenue through home entertainment sales and rentals, including DVD and Blu-ray sales, digital downloads, and streaming rights. This revenue stream has become increasingly important with the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and more.Television and Cable Rights: Films can also earn revenue through licensing agreements with television networks and cable channels for broadcast rights. These agreements may include both domestic and international distribution.Ancillary Markets: Films can generate revenue from ancillary markets such as airline and hotel screenings, educational distribution, and licensing agreements for theme park attractions or museum exhibitions.International Sales: Films can earn revenue from international distribution deals, including theatrical releases, home entertainment, and television rights in foreign markets.Future projections are not guaranteed.How are profits distributed?Recoupment of Costs (Expenses): The first step in the waterfall is often the recoupment of production costs and other expenses associated with the film. This includes expenditures such as production costs, marketing expenses, distribution fees, and overhead costs. These costs must be recouped before any revenue is distributed to investors or profit participants.Debt: The next step is to allocate revenue towards settling any outstanding debts or deferred payments that the production has incurred. This includes any loans or financial obligations the production may have, as well as any fees that have been deferred for producers or directors involved in the project. (Daniel Film LLC is currently debt free!)Investors' Preferred Return of Capital: Once costs are recouped, the next step is the return of capital to investors. Investors receive their initial investment amount plus 10% before any additional profits are distributed.People making the project don’t participate in profits until investors are paid back first.Residuals and Guild Payments: If applicable, payments to guilds (such as the Screen Actors Guild) and residuals to talent for their ongoing participation in the film's success may be distributed at this stage.Profit Sharing: Once all prior obligations are fulfilled, any remaining profits are distributed to investors based on a pro-rata share of 50% of the backend. Future projections are not guaranteed.Thank you for partnering with us to inspire global audiences through the timeless story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

## FAQ
1. **When this investment comes to fruition, what are investors entitled to ? Net profits , gross ? Or will investors mainly seek profits based on the sale of the film post-production.**
   - Hi Gregory, thanks for your interest, and question. Investors will first recoup 110% of principal (before any backend participation begins) then investors will receive pro-rata share of 50% of the backend from net profits (all sales streams).
2. **Hello, Why do you estimate this movie to only bring in $9 million, when it seems it should/would bring in much more? And in your estimation of "His Only Son", it (to date) has only brought in $12,000,000 (a little over this amount according to IMDB), and the ROI is no where ne...**
   - Hi Robin, thanks for your interest in the Daniel movie and we are thrilled that you love the trailer! Our estimate for total revenue on Daniel is 19.5M (12M in theaters plus home video and other sources bringing it to 19.5M) as shown in the presentation slides in the overview. This is our conservative research-based estimation, and of course it could be much greater, or it could also be lower depending on market factors and the timing of release. As for His Only Son, our source was Boxofficem...
3. **Is there a way for Albertans to invest? Seems like Wefund doesn't allow certain Canadian provinces.**
   - There is a restriction on AB BC and ON at the time being through this WeFunder portal, however there is a way to invest in the movie off platform in such a case, and you can reach out for more information to productions@unveilstudios.com
4. **I notice your goal is to raise $1.3M. When is the deadline and what happens with the investor's money if you do not raise enough money for the project?**
   - Thanks for your interest in our film Grigore. We do have a stretch goal of 1.3M. The 1.3M includes a block of funds for post-production and early stage marketing, so we will still complete principal photography on our movie for less than that. Including our tax credits once production has completed, we are currently only $520,000 away from greenlighting principal photography. Deadline on the raise is currently January 2025, and can be extended to March 2025 if necessary to ensure we reach our...
5. **Awesome story of the Bible...**
   - Thank you George we are excited to bring this timeless story to the world!

## Q&A
- Q: Will the ROI be in perpetuity
  - A: Yes it will be perpetual until (around 7-10 years from release) the company is eventually wound down due to reduced resources versus accounting and operating costs - with films, most of the revenue is maxed after around 7-10 years but in the case of a biblical movie that has annual power to draw audiences for continued viewing this timeline could certainly be extended
- Q: As a reminder, investments can be made with IRA funds! If you want to invest without "ready cash," consider making an investment with a self-directed IRA!! It is a wonderful way to put your faith into your investments and be more diversified! God bless!
  - A: Thank you Debbie!
- Q: I'm a senior disabled widow living on a pittance. Even so, I would like to donate $5.00. Is that okay?
  - A: Hi Lindy, thanks for your interest in supporting our film. If you are able to pray for the movie and all involved it would mean a lot. In the setup we have, investments have a $250 minimum. But if you want to make a donation of any amount, you can do so at https://danielthemovie.allyrafundraising.com/campaigns/13814-add-your-name-to-daniel-movie-credits-timeless-biblical-epic
- Q: What happens if you do not make your goal?
  - A: The Reg CF (crowdfund) is not our sole investment source for the film and we will be able to either raise more as needed or gap finance with several lenders if there’s a shortfall after production... However the full amount of our goal that helps us a lot and simplifies things. We are grateful for every partner during this crowdfund!
- Q: I am trying to get items in order for my IRA, this is not still "early bird" as far as the agreements are concerned or are we?
  - A: Thank you David! It’s no longer on early bird terms as the early bird has been fully claimed/subscribed. So any investments now come under the regular contract.
- Q: Before investing, would you please enlighten me regarding what I observed during the trailer that you offered. You had "Susanna" as one of the characters. Susanna does not appear in the story of Daniel in the Bible I'm accustomed to. I understand she's part of the Apocryphal set of books but does her participation need to be in the movie itself? Would you please elaborate on this. Thank you.
  - A: Hey Ruth, thank you so much for your interest in the Daniel movie. In this film we do a deep dive into the history, customs and choices of Daniel and his three friends during and following their exile into Babylon. The chapters of Daniel provide the key events and basis for the storyline. In developing a full length movie on the inspiring story of Daniel's faith, there are also historical records, research and characters that bring it to life on film, many which bring insightful pieces to the story. In addition to apocryphal writings, other stories from the Old Testament are weaved in with the incredibly inspiring text of Daniel, as the exilic period is a very large portion of Old Testament Scripture.
- Q: The cast has not been selected yet correct?
  - A: Hi Perry correct only a few roles are cast so far and we are working with the casting director of films like I Can Only Imagine and The Chosen and many other great projects and we are going to have some stellar recognizable cast 🙏🏼
- Q: Regarding the “your name in the film’s credits” perk, am I able have my name listed in the credits as I prefer (example: mine and my wife’s first names and our last name), as opposed to the name on my Wefunder account? Thanks and best of luck with the film! (My entire family is watching “The Chosen” now and we all LOVE it!)
  - A: hi Lewis thanks so much for your willingness to partner with us! It means a lot to us as filmmakers. We will circulate a survey to ensure the names as they’ll appear in credits are clearly labeled for our investors. Keep an Eye out for that in May if you make an investment as that is when the exact name will need to be listed for us. Many blessings and thank you once again!
- Q: Daniel Happy New Year. May this be the year when all your prayers are answered. When is the fund closing. Will you be closing in Jan? All the best in 2026. Thank you so much
  - A: Thanks for your support Sunflower! The raise closes April 30, so Reg CF opportunities in Daniel Film LLC are wrapping up in just a handful of weeks!
- Q: is this a dispensationalist view?
  - A: Hey Mike! Thanks for your interest in the Daniel film. It's worth noting that Daniel part 1 doesn't get into eschatology but features the courage and faith of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
- Q: HI YOU are now over 1300000 what does investors at this time get as only the 1st $150k get the unit perks etc? Thank you rlfor your reply Kim
  - A: Hi Kimberly, all the perks remain the same. The first 150K received 10% better terms on the investment itself, but all investors receive the same base terms of 110% of their principal investment + 50% net cash flow thereafter (prorata) and the perks listed for specific dollar amounts all apply still. THANK YOU for your interest
- Q: Hello, I hope that you are well. Will you be extending your fundraiser again? We would love to be a part of it but we have some commitments this month. Will the opportunity be available in December 2025? Thank you and all the best. Kind Regards,
  - A: Hi Sunflower, we appreciate your support! At this time the offering is open until January 22, 2026. Many blessings and appreciate your partnership!
- Q: If you invest above the 20K mark how many people can come to the world premiere? Also on the early bird reservation it said one return value but when you make a reservation it says the return value will be at 1.1 in the real contracts will it have the correct value?
  - A: Hello Joshua thank you so much for your partnership! It means a lot to us. The world premiere invite will be for 2 and when it comes time for the premiere we will be in touch if additional tickets are desired (as supplies last), and yes the correct return value will be applied
- Q: Hello, Have you reopened a new round of founding? When is it closing this time? Thank you
  - A: Hi Sunflower, yes we just opened a new round and the plan is to run it from now until October, so that is a lightning round with only about 2 months available to guarantee an investment. In this time, our first $150K get early bird terms. Thank you for your interest!
- Q: Will you have any open casting calls?
  - A: Thanks for the note Anna! For the time being if you're interested in our casting process, you can reach out to bev@bhcasting.com for sides/audition next steps. Thank you!
