Third party variables - Receipt of revenue is often tied to third party companies such as sales agents, distributors and exhibitors. While the money could earn money in the marketplace, it is possible that revenue could not reach The Company as a result of a third party claiming bankruptcy or refusal to pay. 

No current revenue - The Astrid Experience LLC has not yet generated any revenue.  Future generation of revenues will be dependent on successfully fundraising for the film and other factors.

Competitive industry – some segments of the motion picture industry are highly competitive. The company will be competing with the producers of other films in arranging for distribution in all available markets and media. In the distribution phase, competition will limit the availability of such markets and media required for the successful distribution of the picture. The picture will be competing directly with other motion pictures and indirectly with other forms of public entertainment. The company will compete with numerous larger motion picture production companies and distribution companies, which have substantially greater resources, larger and more experienced production and distribution staffs, and established histories of successful production and distribution of motion pictures.

Acceptance by public - Investment in the film industry is highly speculative. There can be no assurance of the economic success of any motion picture since the revenues derived from the production and distribution of a motion picture primarily depend on its acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. The commercial success of a motion picture also depends on the quality and acceptance of other competing films released into the marketplace at or near the same time, general economic factors, and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. 

External forces - the creation of a film is tied to external forces outside of the control of the company, including, but not limited to, weather, terrorist attacks, and labor strikes. Events of this nature could have an impact on both the timeline of the project and overall budget. Extreme cases may make it impossible to complete the project. Although we have nullified some of these risks by already shooting the film, extreme cases could still arise.

Audience appeal – the ultimate profitability of any motion picture depends upon its audience appeal in relation to the cost of its production and distribution. The audience appeal of a given motion picture depends, among other things, on unpredictable critical reviews and changing public tastes and such appeal cannot be anticipated with certainty.

Cost overruns – the costs of producing motion pictures are often underestimated and may be increased by reason of factors beyond the control of the producers. Such factors may include weather conditions, illness of technical and artistic personnel, artistic requirements, labor disputes, governmental regulations, equipment breakdowns, and other production disruptions. While the company intends to engage production personnel who have demonstrated an ability to complete films within the assigned budget, the risk of a film running over budget or of not being completed is always significant and may have a substantial adverse impact on the profitability of the picture.

Distribution – the profitable distribution of a motion picture depends in large part on the availability of one or more capable and efficient distributors who are able to arrange for appropriate advertising and promotion, proper release dates and bookings in first-run and other theaters. There can be no assurance that profitable distribution arrangements will be obtained for the picture or that the picture can or will be distributed profitably or that the picture will be distributed at all.

Long-term project – the production and distribution of a motion picture involves the passage of a significant amount of time. Although we have finished pre-production and principle photography, post-production may extend for three to five months or more. Distribution and exhibition of motion picture may continue for years before proceeds in an amount high enough to pay back investors can be generated at all.

Industry changes – neither the managers nor the company can predict the effect that rapid technological change, emerging distribution channels or alternative forms of entertainment may have on the company, the managers or the motion picture industry. The entertainment industry in general, and the motion picture industry in particular, continue to undergo significant changes, primarily due to technological developments. Due to rapid growth of technology and shifting consumer tastes, neither the managers nor the company can accurately predict the overall effect that technological growth or the availability of alternative forms of entertainment may have on the potential revenue from and profitability of the picture.

Foreign distribution – foreign distribution of a motion picture (i.E., outside the United States and Canada) may require the use of various foreign distributors. Some foreign countries may impose government regulations on the investing members with this system, that such investing members, who have had their money at risk for the longest time, are at the tail end of the box office receipts chain. Thus, if the company, in negotiating a distribution deal, has to rely heavily on a participation at some defined level of the picture’s revenue stream, revenues to the company, and thus to investing members, are likely to be the last in line to benefit from such a revenue stream, if any.

Distributions and liquidity - distribution of the company’s proceeds to the members will provide a primary source of distributable cash or securities to the members. The managers will have absolute discretion in the timing of such distributions, if any, subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement. There can be no assurance that there will be any distributions or that aggregate distributions, if any, will equal or exceed the members’ investment in the company.

Illiquidity of investment – there is no public market for the interests and one is not expected to develop. Each investor should be aware that he/she/or it must bear the risks of an investment in the company for an indefinite period of time because any transfer, sale or assignment of the interests is subject to the consent of the managers in its discretion. Furthermore, the interests have not been registered under the securities act of 1933, as amended (the “act”), or any other applicable law, and therefore, cannot be sold and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the act, and any other applicable law, or, in the opinion of the managers, exemptions from such registration are available. Any such registration is unlikely to occur in the future. In addition, no sale, transfer or assignment of an interest will be permitted if, in the opinion of counsel for the company, such sale, transfer or assignment would violate the status of the original sale of the interests which formed the basis for the exemption from registration under the act, or any applicable state securities laws, pursuant to which such interests were offered, or cause a termination of the entity’s treatment as a company for federal income tax purposes. As a result of these restrictions, members may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency, and the interests may not be readily accepted as collateral for a loan.

Inherent uncertainty of projections – the indicative cash flows and certain forward looking statements are based on certain assumptions and other information available to the managers. However, the underlying estimates, assumptions and future events are inherently uncertain, and unanticipated events may occur which would cause actual results to vary, perhaps materially from any forecasted results. Each investor should be aware that many films do not get released or if released are not commercially successful, and lose money. As a consequence, each investor should be aware that neither the company nor the managers guarantee or warrant any specific projected result of an investment in the company. Accordingly, investors should retain and rely upon the advice of their own professional advisors with respect to their individual suitability for an investment in the company and the tax consequences resulting therefrom. the foregoing list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete explanation of the risks involved in an investment in the company.

Our future success depends on the efforts of a small management team. The loss of services of the members of the management team may have an adverse effect on the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining other personnel we require to successfully grow our business.

COVID 19 - The recent outbreak of COVID 19 across the globe has created additional challenges for independent filmmakers, production companies, and the entertainment industry as a whole, the final outcome of which is impossible to predict. Although the production company is staying optimistic and adaptable in their efforts to deliver a viable film to the market for their investors, the situation has created an additional risk that has never been seen before in the history of film. As the world continues to go through this change, it is only natural that the traditional infrastructures, markets, and revenue streams will continue to change with it, with no guarantee of success. The final result of COVID 19 on the entertainment industry and the world at large is completely outside of the production company's control, and a total loss of principle investment could be one such outcome. This risk needs be accepted and acknowledged by anyone looking to invest during this time.
