I'm an stock investor with Legion M through Start Engine. What is We Funder and why is it a separate investment?

Hi Lori - I've broken my response into two parts to address both of your questions: WHAT IS WEFUNDER? Wefunder is like StartEngine in that it is an SEC-registered funding portal for equity crowdfunding. Both platforms act in the same way — they process the investment transactions. I think Ticketmaster is a good analogy -- your contract (i.e. the Ticket) is with the artist and venue, but Ticketmaster is the platform where you buy the ticket. Because of all the legal requirements, the SEC requi...

Do "Contributing Producer" and "Co-Executive Producer" level investors receive Producer level revenue split or do all investment levels get the same 33%? Also, in the contract, "customary" is misspelled as "custimary".

Thanks for the question (and for pointing out the typo!). The answer is no -- even if you get a title with the word "Producer" in it, you are still defined as an Investor in the contract. The Producers are defined as William Shatner, Legion M, and Exhibit A. Sorry if this caused any confusion, and thank you for pointing it out.

Am I able to use another person's name in the credits? Or can I only use my own name?

That should be fine if you want to use the name of a loved one -- the only exception would be the named credits (i.e. Co-executive producer, etc). But in the Financier sections, that would be fine.

When I told my brother about this fun thing, he asked if he has to be an investor in Legion M before he can invest in the Shatner doc, or if he can just go straight to the doc and invest. I've invested in both but couldn't answer his question.

You don't need to be an investor in Legion M to invest in the documentary. Or vice versa. They are completely independent of each other.

I sent a check with a tracking number. Is there a way to add that to my profile? (Hi Jeff, Paul & Terri!)

Hi Kim! Are you asking if you can add it to your profile? Or are you asking when Wefunder will update your profile to reflect the fact they've received the check? Either way, this might be a Wefunder question -- you can email them directly at hello@wefunder.com. Or you can email us directly at team@legionm.com and Brandi will help get you sorted out.

"I'm a Legion M seed investor, and a longtime friend/fan of Paul and Jeff. Investing in movies can be tricky, but I know Legion M will always put the fan investors first. I am excited about the opportunity to invest in this high-quality feature film project. The combination of the legendary William Shatner together with the extraordinary filmmaking talents of Alexandre O. Philippe --- all supported by Legion M and its fan investors --- feels like a winning combination. I look forward to being a part of the team to help make this project a huge success for all of us."
