## Q&A
- Q: You may want to recast Cuba Gooding Jr. 🤔
  - A: Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your perspective and understand that casting choices can be rather subjective. The character Cuba Gooding, Jr plays finds redemption in Christ after being a drug-dealer now facing execution in a third world country. But in real life, Cuba also has found redemption in Jesus and forgiveness in himself towards others and for others. "Cuba's a changed man," says Director Tim Chey. "He really recommitted his life to the Lord and was a different guy than the one who did my previous film a few years back."
- Q: Hello Tim! This is a FOLLOW UP post. Is there a target date defined for reimbursement of investor's original investment? Investor's ROI? It would be prudent to post a message here on Wefunder to the investor community.
- Q: When will the next payout be sent ? I’m so far behind in getting my original investment back. Thanks so much.
- Q: Will there be periodic updates for investors? If so, when should we expect them, please?
- Q: In answering a pervious question it was stated that "The profit sharing duration spans 2 years from the official movie release date." In addition to this being an unusually short timespan for film financing, where investors usually retain profit sharing rights in perpetuity, this is not reflected in the Film Financing Agreement that people are signing. Please explain where the 2 year duration comes from.
- Q: "After covering all expenses, the investor is entitled to receive 20% of the remaining profits, pro rata". Is this profit sharing in perpetuity or at what point does the profit sharing terminates. Let me know how this reflects in the contract?
  - A: Good question! The profit sharing duration spans 2 years from the official movie release date.
- Q: When will the next payout be? I have asked this before but received no response. Thank you for attending to this matter.
- Q: I finally watched The Firing Squad, and WOW. What an incredible and deeply emotional film. It was absolutely worth every penny of my support. I'm so glad to have contributed to such a powerful and meaningful project. I truly hope there will be more films like this in the future!
- Q: When will investors of The Firing Squad receive a return on their investment?
- Q: Is the plan still to pay back investors in November, as per the Sept 17 update? Thanks!
- Q: I was wondering. When is the one year of epoch times was due to begin? I saw previously in August, but it is now Sept 9th. Thank you and God bless.
- Q: Just looking back at sight to see what updates I might have missed and noticed the “Investor Perks” have changed. At the time I invested, there was a $5K level Perk that included the behind-the-scenes content, the one year of Epoch Times, the Early Viewing as well as being listed at the of the movie. Is that I place for when someone invested or did the list get changed? I am grateful for the opportunity to help reach more souls, as the primary reason for the gift, but the Perk was exciting to boot.
  - A: Invest $5,000 - Credit Roll Mention: See your name or company at the end credits of “The Firing Squad” -Includes all previous perks. Hi Bryan, Your investment has been completed.
