First of all...
Thank you:
We are overjoyed with the response so far! Every small donation and up vote helps this project get made and I am seeing every update and post help us get that done! I want to now also open up an opportunity for;
Executive Producers aka Private Investors:
We are currently looking for private investors to make a larger investment of 500 SBD or more into Barbara-Anne. By making a one time, private investment you will also earn the title of Executive Producer. You don't need to know anything about movie making- leave that up to us! It is truly amazing the amount of private investors that have come together to support film makers and their films throughout histroy like in the instance of The Coen Brothers:
"Many people know and love the The Coen Brothers for cult hits like “Fargo” and “The Big Lebowski,” but many people don’t know that the brothers struggled to raise $750,000 for their first film “Blood Simple” (1984). They ultimately locked in about 65 private investors (entrepreneurs, doctors and small business owners) with most of them contributing $5,000 to $10,000. The film grossed just under $4,000,000 at the box office" (Forbes Magazine)
EP's are an integral part of the film making ecosystem and many, many projects would not have happened and many, many film makers would not have been given an opportunity to shine if it weren't for generous investments and belief!
Why?
What Barbara-Anne is offering to the Steem community is an opportunity for film to be "Powered by Steem" and Funded by @Fundition. Two platforms that many movie makers know nothing about but I believe they could bring a lot of quality content to the platform and enthusiasm. If you love Steem and you want to grow film makers on the platform this is your chance to invest. By supporting this project you are actually supporting the film makers who will go on to make more and more for Steem, by Steem!
Investor Perks:
You know when you see credits role and there multiple Executive Producer titles? Many of those people didn't actually do the day to day work but they are a HUGE reason the movie got made because they fronted the money. If you invest 500 SBD or more you will receive:
- An Executive Producer Title
- Name in the credits as such
- If you are in the Toronto area you may visit the set
- Tickets to wherever the film is playing
- A signed poster by the cast/crew
If you're Camera Shy...
And do not want your name shared in the credits and just want to support the film and film in the Steem Community you are welcome to make an anonymous donation.
So...
If you are someone who feels like you want to invest in the arts, believes in me and this project and perhaps are a whale here on Steem please consider! It truly take a village to make a movie happen! We are 6 weeks to our shoot date and will have a few weeks of post-production after the Holidays as well so it is all happening very fast and we need YOU! Have any questions or want to chat with me personally? Find me on Discord #8828 and I'm happy to discuss further. I understand that 500 SBD is a big investment and want to make sure you feel confident where your hard earned Steem is going!
If you are unable to give a large contribution at this time that's okay! Every up vote counts and means the world to us. We could not do this without you so thank you for your continued support.
