The minimum goal you have set is 695k . Not in love with the budget for this. I have invested in about 10 independent films on Wefunder. Most are made with a budget around 200k. I have seen the chart that breaks down how the money will be spent. But I know what others have bee...

Hi Benjamin, thanks for the well wishes! The amount of films that succeed in the under $500k range is super small, so I’m glad you bring this up. Just checked out some of the other films you've invested in: My Dead Friend Zoe (770k) Frankie's Story (842k) Isle Child (1.2M). Ours is actually less than these projects — we chose our budget to qualify for SAG modified-low, so we can and will attach recognizable faces for our leads (too early to announce though, so I totally understand your commen...

Hi there- loving the storyline. Are any actors attached to this project yet please?

Hi Eve, great question! We have an all-star shortlist for our three main leads that we're excited about (happy to share some details on an investor call, but we can't announce publicly quite yet). The remaining cast we are selecting this summer. Stay tuned.

good stuff. I am an investor in my dead friend Zoe. we had an a list star studded cast and still didn't make much in movie theaters even though it was about PTSD in the military, you would think people would flock to see it. a large part came down to marketing. how do you plan...

Invested $25,000 this round

We invested because we believe in Jack Chakerian's creative vision. Jack has been a trusted family friend for decades, and we are excited to help with this next chapter. His commitment to the craft shines through his previous films. In the current investment landscape, it is difficult to find ventures that you can be confident in and feel good about at the same time. I personally think this is an exceptional opportunity to invest in a powerhouse team with a script that is bound to resonate with our increasingly lonely society.
