This isn’t just a crowdfunding campaign. It’s your invitation to help build the next powerhouse in independent cinema.

Lima Films is entering a bold new chapter—and we’re inviting you to be part of the story from the ground up. We’re not here to raise money for a single project. We’re here to build a legacy—a creative empire driven by purpose, passion, and profit.

Why Lima Films? Why Now?

Founded in Florida and proudly headquartered in Tampa Bay, Lima Films is more than a production house—we're a movement. Our mission is to empower underrepresented voices, produce unforgettable stories, and fuel a vibrant local film economy with global reach.

So far, we’ve produced every project with budgets under $1,000—and every single one has gone on to win awards and receive international acclaim. We’ve made art out of scarcity. Now, imagine what we can do with real capital.

This is your chance to fuel the growth of a film studio that’s proven it can do a lot with a little—and is ready to do something massive with more.

A Smart Investment in Storytelling

We're offering more than inspiration—we’re offering equity. Our campaign is structured using a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), with a $1.5 million valuation cap, and full SEC compliance to ensure transparency and investor protection. This is your chance to secure early equity in a company with serious upside.

Our Vision: Sustainable, Scalable, and Built to Last

Lima Films is building a future-facing entertainment company:

✔ Full IP ownership = higher margins, greater creative control

✔ Genre-diverse film slate = diversified revenue streams

✔ Lean, scalable model = maximized efficiency and ROI

✔ Long-term goal = IPO and media brand empire

Every contribution helps us expand our infrastructure, hire top-tier talent, and produce a slate of premium, emotionally resonant films designed for both critical acclaim and commercial success.

Our Upcoming Films: Big Stories with Bigger Potential

Left Behind

Two childhood friends are reunited years after a family tragedy shattered their lives. One is now homeless with a daughter. The other, a former Marine turned lawyer. Their bond is tested by trauma, faith, and a climactic, high-stakes charity boxing match with national eyes watching. A story of hope, grit, and redemption.

Roughing the Passer

Wrongly imprisoned at 18, Robert Moore gets a second chance at life and glory. With help from a compassionate coach and a miracle opportunity, he rises from mowing lawns to throwing touchdowns in the pros. But first, he must clear his name—and his soul. An inspiring sports drama with real emotional muscle.

These projects already have award-season buzz and experienced actors attached. With your support, we’ll bring them—and many more—to life with cinematic excellence and cultural impact.

Endorsements from Industry Professionals

“They produce exceptional films that speak to the soul.”

“Their work is truly exceptional, and their attention to detail is on another level.”

Led by award-winning filmmaker Gerard Lima, the studio has earned praise for its originality, craftsmanship, and relentless creative drive. Gerard’s vision is clear: to disrupt traditional filmmaking with smarter storytelling, leaner production, and stories that matter.

The Opportunity: A Film Industry Starving for Original Content

We’re living in a golden age of demand—but a shortage of supply. Streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, and Disney+ are investing billions to feed their platforms with fresh, original content. And yet, legacy studios are struggling to keep up.

Why? Because bloated budgets, rigid structures, and risk-averse strategies have made many traditional studios slow, cautious, and creatively stagnant.

This creates a massive opening—a gap Lima Films is perfectly positioned to fill.

Lima Films: Agile, Creative, and Built for This Moment

We’re lean. We’re bold. We’re independent.

Lima Films brings the one thing the big studios can’t: authentic, emotionally resonant stories told with cinematic excellence and financial efficiency.

We’re not just here to make great films. We’re here to deliver:

• High-margin content through full IP ownership
• Scalable production tailored to market trends and platform needs
• Multi-channel monetization (theatrical, streaming, VOD, licensing)
• Global appeal with powerful storytelling and diverse voices

The Financial Case: Smart Capital, Real Returns

The entertainment industry is a $100+ billion global market, and original films are among its most profitable assets. With our proven ability to create award-winning content on ultra-low budgets, your investment goes further, faster.

We’re not spending millions—we’re multiplying them.

By strategically investing in a slate of films engineered for both critical acclaim and commercial success, we’re creating multiple revenue streams and long-term assets, all while maintaining lean operational costs.

Lima Films = First Mover Advantage in the New Studio Era

While legacy studios restructure and scramble, we’re already positioned as a next-generation studio built for what’s next:

• Creator-led, audience-first
• Financially disciplined, creatively fearless
• Vertically integrated and primed to scale

The industry doesn’t need more content. It needs better content. Efficiently made. Emotionally powerful. Globally viable.

That’s Lima Films. And with your support, we’re ready to lead this new wave.

Opportunity: How Lima Films Captures a Slice of This Billion-Dollar Pie

1. Theatrical & Streaming Distribution
2. Every new film Lima produces has the potential to generate millions through theatrical runs and SVOD/AVOD licensing. Licensing rights—worth over $23B annually—are increasingly accessible to agile indie producers .
3. Ad-Supported Streaming Tiers
4. Demand for ad-integrated content is skyrocketing. From $17B in 2025 U.S. ad revenue, our films can monetize both ad tier views and premium subscription licensing.
5. Multi-Channel Monetization
6. With full IP ownership, Lima Films can earn across theatrical, VOD/pay‑per‑view, streaming licensing, and advertising—a diversified revenue model designed for resilience and scale.
7. Economical Production = Greater Profit Share
8. Our award-winning $1K-budget model means returns multiply quickly. Even if a film captures just 0.1% of a $62B home entertainment market, that’s $62 million in revenue—largely outbound to Lima instead of studios.

Lima Films’ Projected Revenue Model

Revenue Source Market Size Lima’s Share Potential Earnings

Theaters $26–$30 billion 0.05%–0.1% $13–$30 million per film

Streaming Licensing $62.7 billion 0.05%–0.2% $31–$125 million yearly

VOD / Pay-Per-View $9.2 billion 0.1% $9 million (Around)

Streaming Ads $17 billion (U.S.) 0.05%–0.1% $8.5–$17 million

Even a conservative 0.05% slice yields $30 million+ annually. Combined with Lima’s lean structure and full IP rights, that revenue becomes pure profit and reusable capital for growth.
