Enlisting her frenemy neighbor, a failing wannabe detective, this odd couple crime solving duo learn about each other and themselves along the way. A fun, fast, and irreverent story with a heartfelt ending:There are 3.3B gamers worldwide… and growing.\u0026nbsp;Production (camera crew, lighting crew, stunts, locations, meals, rental equipment, talent), post-production (editing, sound design, color correction, music composer), and promotional materials. We have a star name interested and part of our raise is for their fee... Once the film is completed and a distribution deal has been secured, it is released to the public. With the growth of streaming, independent films have various avenues of distribution - pay per view (Amazon Prime, iTunes, Google Play, YouTube), SVOD (Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Peacock) AVOD (Tubi, Roku, Freevee, Crackle, Vudu, Pluto), tv deals, streaming on airplanes - domestically as well as internationally - creating multiple streams of income. \u0026nbsp; The offering is a 20% ROI, Executive Producer credit, and profit sharing (50/50 split with production) after recoupment of investment.After payments of any incurred debts or balances, all revenue goes to investors on a pro rata basis until they receive 120% of their original investment. After 120% recoupment, the remaining “net profit” is split 50/50 between the investors and the production company.The 50% production company split consists of percentages given to the director, producers, actors, writer, and other participants pre-determined by the production company.Equity investors are paid out from the 50% investor’s side and are proportionate to their percentage of investment contribution.For example, if an investor contributes 50% of the cash needed for production, they will receive 50% of the investor’s side profits. Net profit participation is paid out quarterly for the first two years, then annually thereafter, for as long as the film generates income.$100+ The Silver Screen: A Special thanks in end credits$500+ The Insider: Above perk plus access to exclusive behind the scenes content$1,000+ The Swag: Everything above, plus autographed copy of the script$5,000+The VIP: Everything above, plus a private, secured digital link preview to the completed film$10,000+ Celeb Status: Everything above, plus an invitation to be an extra in the film and a live stream Q\u0026amp;A from set with cast and crew members$25,000+ Film Producer Vibes: Everything above, plus live set visit on the last day of filming plus access to the wrap party, AND Associate Producer credit!An estimated 12 months from the start of the shoot, which includes film, post-production, and simultaneously securing distribution through our sales agents. The release date is set, and the deliverables from the filmmaker are sent to the proper avenues.\u0026nbsp;This film began as a simple idea: a gamer girl whose console is stolen. But why? And what unique and interesting relationships develop from that? Inspired by the fast paced and witty films like Deadpool to the dry comedy of Nice Guys as well as Kick Ass, Scott Pilgrim, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Brick, I developed the story of an odd couple crime solving duo that both go through emotional growing pains in becoming better versions of themselves in the backdrop of a dark and dangerous world - while ultimately examining what family means and what brings people together. I love this story enough to continue to push forward and bring elements together, from getting a star name on board to pitching investors to seeking gamer cameos to product placement outreach to exploring NFTs as a source of funding while pursuing the best avenues of achieving this unique creative vision; an independent film has the ability to preserve the storytelling experience and connect with the audience\u0026nbsp;directly from the creative filmmaker's mind, and while it's a bigger struggle than studio films, it's also far more rewarding,\u0026nbsp;and truly driven by passion.\u0026nbsp;What's really special about this film is that it has the potential to function as a disruptor\u0026nbsp;in an industry\u0026nbsp;full of studio superhero films with bloated budgets saturating the market; We Could Be Heroes is a commercial\u0026nbsp;gamer-centric story made with a lean budget to maximize the potential return.\u0026nbsp;I hope you join us on this fun and exciting journey in disrupting the status quo and being a part of something legendary.
