Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis, including information regarding the strategy and plans for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

Full length feature film already in production puts FANS-FIRST to benefit from any potential backend upside of the movie.  The Company is a special purpose vehicle which was formed to produce a feature film currently entitled “FADE TO BLACK”. The Company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

Milestones

Fade to Black LLC was organized in the State of Delaware in June 2024.

Since then, we have:

  • ALL-STAR CAST: Karan Soni, Katerina Tannenbaum, Max Carver, Rafael Casal, Gavin Leathwood...
  • AWARD-WINNING TEAM: Seasoned team of highly acclaimed producers, EPs, casting director & more.
  • VISIONARY DIRECTOR: Andrew Sandler has over a billion online views from film, TV, & music videos.
  • BUCKET LIST PERKS: producer credits, set visits, premiere tickets, production updates & more.
  • PURPOSE: Shape the future of Hollywood with a fiercely original film made by talented rising stars.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage film productions. Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future.

Historical Results of Operations as of June 26, 2024

As of June 26, 2024 (inception), the Company had commenced planned principal operations and had not generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, capital raising activities, and principal operations which include the development and production of a feature film. We will not generate any revenue until the film is released. We expect to release the film in late 2025 or early 2026.

  • Revenues & Gross Margin. For the period ended June 26, 2024, the Company had revenues of $0. .
  • Assets. As of June 26, 2024, the Company had total assets of $7,000, including $0 in cash.
  • Net Income. The Company has had net income of $0 through June 26, 2024.
  • Liabilities. The Company's liabilities totaled $7,285 through June 26, 2024.

Related Party Transaction

The Company has received debt financing and advances from its parent entity, Legion M. Refer to Question 26 of this Form C for disclosure of all related party transactions.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

To-date, the company has been financed with $2,432,285 in debt. From October 2024 to November 23, 2024, Legion M initially funded the Fade to Black, LLC bank account in the amount of $1,000,000, which is reimbursable once the project is funded.

We plan to use the proceeds as set forth in this Form C under "Use of Funds", which includes repayment of the debt we have already incurred. In addition to the funds from this offering under Regulation Crowdfunding, we have received investment from accredited investors, as well as secured debt financing for the film production.

We will likely require additional financing in excess of the proceeds from the Offering in order to get the film to completion and then to market and distribute the film. Besides funds raised through Wefunder, we have recently closed a Reg D fundraising round, have multiple loans, and have funding from Legion M. We plan to raise additional capital concurrently with this offering, however, there is no guarantee that any additional capital will be available, or available at terms we are willing to pay.

Runway & Short/Mid Term Expenses

Fade to Black LLC cash in hand is $374,860, as of November 25, 2024. We will not begin generating revenues until such time as the film is released, which we intend to occur in late 2025 or early 2026. 
While are not yet able to generate revenue, there are many expenses associated with the production of the film. Over the last three months, cost of goods as averaged $100,000/month, and operational expenses have averaged $50,000/month, for an average burn rate of $150,000 per month

Since principal operations have commenced, the Company has incurred significant additional expenses. Over the next 3-6 months, we expect $500,000 in expenses to finish the film. 

We are not currently generating any revenue as we are in the production phase of the film. In total, including off-Wefunder investments, we expect to need $3,500,000 in funding in order for the film to be completed and released. 

All projections in the above narrative are forward-looking and not guaranteed.
