Pitch


  • When teenager Alexis finds her grandmother’s hidden, secret decoder ring, she accidentally brings forth the long-forgotten '40s superhero, Major Dynamo, into our world! The Major is a fish-out-water with his old-fashioned ways and beliefs -- some good and some... not so good. Through those challenges, Alexis and Major Dynamo bond. Alexis’ dad has grown distant which has put a strain on their relationship and the Major fills that gap as a father figure. But, because the Major has awakened, the mysterious Grey Goliath comes out of hiding to finally destroy Major Dynamo so he can complete his plans against the world. Alexis soon discovers that all these seemingly unrelated elements are rooted in a generational family secret that could now destroy our world! Alexis and Major Dynamo must stand together to face Grey Goliath -- and find redemption for their family!

You might be wondering, "How does my investment work?" Or perhaps you're curious about the implications if you're a previous investor with Pencilish. Here's your answer:

  • Your investment in the film operates on a 120% preferred return basis. This means that once the film's budget is secured, your investment will be repaid along with a 20% return, all before filming commences. In essence, your investment and the proposed 20% return are the FIRST payments out, irrespective of the film's performance in the market!
  • For previous Pencilish investors, the fact that the film is being produced by Pencilish is advantageous. Any success achieved directly contributes to the appreciation of your existing shares. This means that as the film progresses and flourishes, so too will the value of your shares.




This raise is to fund the development of the pencil test and other overhead. With this, We will be able to create and package the film correctly for larger investors. Below is the budget breakdown for how we’d like to use funding once we reach our goal of $615,000:

*Note: If we do not reach our funding goal, certain changes will be made to the breakdown to account for the change in budget.
