A regency romance based on a best-selling book series

Seeking Persephone is based on the novel by Sarah M. Eden, the USA Today best-selling author of more than seventy five witty and charming historical romances, which have sold over one million copies worldwide. The screenplay was adapted by Sarah. Seeking Persephone is the first book in the Lancaster series.

2,483 backers on Kickstarter pledged $234,227 to help bring this project to life.

There is a demand for Historical Dramas!

1/3rd of filming has already been accomplished.

With the money raised on Kickstarter, sets were built, costumes were designed and constructed and filming commenced.

We hope to film the remainder of Seeking Persephone on location in England this fall. After extensive location scouting and planning our locations have been chosen.


Making a period film is no small endeavor. Just 1 episode of Bridgerton cost 7 million dollars. The most recent adaptation of Emma was 10 million dollars.

Our plan for Seeking Persephone is to complete the film for just shy of 1 million dollars. Our goal for Seeking Persephone is to raise $800,000 to film the remaining portion of the film, complete post-production and secure distribution. By keeping the cost down, it will greatly increase the likelihood our investors will make a return on their investment.

Future projections are not guaranteed.

Who can invest in this project?

Anyone can invest as little as $100 in this project!

How do you receive a return on your investment?

When the movie is completed, we will shop around to find the best fit and deal for Seeking Persephone. Our films have sold to Universal Pictures, Netflix, Amazon, The CW, Hallmark, Lifetime, UpTV, and more.

Money for films used to be made through DVD sales, but now movies can make their money through Television Rights, Streaming, and VOD.

Once costs are recouped, the first revenues returned to Lancaster's LLC go entirely to the investors. Investors will receive a 100% of their initial investment plus a 15% Return on Investment. When the investors have received a cumulative 115% of their original investment, all profit participants will be split 50/50 between investors and “the filmmakers.” “The filmmakers” include actors, writers, directors, and producers of the film.

Investors will continue to receive income over the entire profit-earning life of the film. 

Future projections are not guaranteed.
