Hi, I have a few questions. 1.) With this being a stock offering, will investors be receiving a 1099 or a K1? 2.) Are returns paid in perpetuity? 3.) If you don't meet your current funding goal, will you still move forward with the remaining production? 4.) If the film is succ...

1.) With this being a stock offering, will investors be receiving a 1099 or a K1? 1099 2.) Are returns paid in perpetuity? Yes. Until the film stops generating money and the LLC is dissolved. 3.) If you don't meet your current funding goal, will you still move forward with the remaining production? Yes, but we would have to find funding elsewhere. 4.) If the film is successful, will investors both large and small be given the opportunity to invest in the remaining films in the series? It depe...

investment risk question: what is the likelihood that this film even rocoups the 1 million in cost and what is an average timeline just for recoupment of cost once film is completed and distributed?

Investing in film can be lucrative but also risky. Our budget for a period romance is incredibly low. By keeping the cost down, it will increase the likelihood our investors will make a return on their investment. As far as timeline, it greatly depends on who is the distributor and when they release the film. Many of my previous projects have been profitable. However, some have not. Sometimes returns came as quickly as 6 months after a film is released. Other projects it has taken a year or m...

also, is this investment just in the first film Seeking Persephone, or is it an investment in the entire series of lancaster family books?

Just in the first film Seeking Persephone.

What is the plan for the movie soundtrack/music? I imagine that would add significantly to the cost, but at the same time is an important aspect of a great movie.

The music will be composed by James Schafer :)

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!

Filming fully completed—now in post-production.

With the money raised on Kickstarter, sets were built, costumes were designed and constructed, and on-set filming was completed.

Filming took place on location in England, bringing these stunning Regency settings to life—now we’re in post-production.

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.
