FAQ:
- Q: Good morning Adam & Joshua! Funny how I spent a lifetime living in the so-called “Entertainment Capital” of the world in LA and I never had an opportunity to be involved in film until Crowdfunding came around when I’m living far away from it! I see you had successful campa...
  A: Hello Martin! This is Adam and the short answer to your question is yes! If we reach our minimum we will be able to go into filming in either late fall 2022 or early winter of 2023. The long answer is that we have a roughly million dollar budget, but we chose this minimum specifically because it meant we could make the movie even if it's at a lower budget if outside money doesn't come in without sacrificing the quality of the film. Thank you for the question and I hope that answer helped. Ple...
- Q: when is the last day for funding ?
  A: Hi Adrian, the last day for funding is 11/19. *Please note that we have extended the round to 1/18/2023.*
- Q: We want to know what you see your valuation will look like in 3 years also the income and balance statements Not to say much, I think we are very much interested in this project but then we are not opting for the crowdfunding route. We were wondering if you have provisions to ...
  A: Hi Thomas, If you wouldn't mind, please send us an email. Best, The Weight Film LLC
- Q: Dear Team, you have an exciting film project. Kindly let me know if you know or have an approximate duration time of this movie. Thank you in advance! Alex from Greece.
  A: Hi Alex! The film will be roughly a bit over 1 hour and 45 minutes. The script is 88 pages but it’s a highly visual film. We expect filming to conclude in May and to be done with post and ready for distribution by the end of the 3rd financial quarter of 2023. Best, Adam
- Q: Maybe the question was asked already BUT will this be a Netflix only film? If so, how will this be marketed to get the most attention from viewers?
  A: Hi James! Thank you for your question. This is the first time this question has been asked and I'm happy you did. No, this is not a Netflix or Netflix only film. Our team has had their work distributed by Netflix and LionsGate, but we have no distribution deal in place with them for the film. We do have contacts there that we've had talks with, but don't want to fully pursue until the time is right and that time is when we prove to them the large market that we have, otherwise they will do wh...
