Great questions, I've got answers: 1) our film will call securities a \"revenue participation agreement\". 2) Your accountant will know for sure, but typically the cash received will sit as an asset and the outstanding principle will sit as a liability. 3) What your investment will be named in the balance sheet is mostly up to their accountant.

At the moment we are still casting the film but once we are in the pre-production phase, the various remaining stages of the film will progress much quicker. There is a reason why films get mired in what is called \"development hell\". Once we hit pre-production, we will update investors via Wefunder and also email. You are putting faith in us and want you to join us at every step along the way. We are anticipating filing annual reports to the SEC along with making our annual financial reports visible on the Wefunder platform.

Investors will receive %50 of all net profits in perpetuity. So if the film finds a sudden surge in viewership several years down the road, you are also entitled to that revenue as well. Sometimes that does happen if an actor or director comes out with a hit tv show or film and audiences want to see their previous work. That being said, we anticipate most of the profit to me made within the first 2 years after the completion of the film. And yes, the campaign will continue after the new year. So if you’d like to invest in January, that’s definitely an option.

Investing in our film means you are an equity investor and will participate in a revenue share. It is the same model as other films on Wefunder (Seance, Scrap, Frankie's Story, etc). The moment the film begins to any profit, the investor will begin to receive a portion of that profit depending on the amount invested. The first %120 of the net profit goes only to the investors, after which the producers and investors will split any further profits on a 50/50 basis.
