We have an executive team to make it happen!

Producer Brad Wilson has been involved in over 40 feature films and television projects and has been involved with the production of films with big names such as Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn, and Michael Douglas. He worked in production on films with Robert Duvall for more than a decade, and together, they always said the most important thing to making a great movie was having the right team

Joining award-winning Producer Brad Wilson, we also have an award-winning writer, an American Movie Awards-winning director, an award-winning composer who is a member of the Songwriters' Hall of Fame, and an award-winning cinematographer

Business model: Be a part-owner of a film

As seen with “Veronica Mars” and “Super Troopers 2,” crowdfunding a film is not a new concept. Unlike those films which did not give supporters any equity, if you invest in The Furry Fortune, you will own part of the film and share in any profits we make!

With most films, investors simply have a right to part of the cash flow from any profits. With Furry Fortune, investors will actually own part of the company that owns the film, and share in any profits from the company itself, including the film and any merchandising!

Revenue generation is dependent on its distribution. It could be released theatrically, online, or on a streaming service. Our plan is to first pay all expenses and then any funds remaining will be profits to the company you invest in. Our intention is to use those profits to pay all investors back their investment first on a pro rata basis until all investors are paid in full, and then any remaining profits will be split by shareholders in Furry Fortune The Movie, LLC. The more shares you buy, the bigger portion of those remaining profits you could receive

Market: Family films featuring dogs have huge potential

”Kid fiction” films have great potential, pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. It’s a huge market. In 2019, the top 3 children's films alone pulled in nearly $1.5B in box office revenue. This doesn't include revenue made from merchandise, online distribution, etc. Furthermore, dog movies have seen millions in ticket sales in their opening weekends for decades. And with so many avenues for watching and streaming entertainment, it’s easier than ever to reach an audience. By tapping into Furry Fortune's pre-existing fan-base, we will be able to produce a film that grabs the attention of many

Competition: Bringing transparency to filmmaking

Our goal is to provide transparency to our investors. When we begin production of the film, we will look to post quarterly financials for the film and our company on our website. We will not do what so many traditional Hollywood films do and use “Hollywood Accounting” to make sure certain people line their pockets, and that others do not. For example, Forrest Gump had $660 million in ticket sales, but the film was never “profitable” because certain people and companies were paid first, so there would be no “profits” in the end

With our film, we are striving to only pay for services needed to make, market and distribute the film, and we will disclose all of this in the quarterly financials we post for our investors. If the film makes money, you will see that in the financials, and know where every dollar goes

Vision: A film that highlights rescue animals

Many films about dogs have been lucrative money makers, and we hope to join their successes with “The Furry Fortune.” However, the vision for this film is one that goes beyond profits. Rescue animals are very important to us, and we plan to use this film as an opportunity to showcase what a blessing rescue animals can be in one way or another

Henry the Dog, who plays Nuzzles, is a rescue animal himself!

$600K+ raised from over 1600 investors Investors:

In July 2020, we closed an equity crowdfunding offering with over $150K in investments. In November 2020, we closed a second equity crowdfunding offering with more than $300K in investments for a total of over $450K before we started this offering on WeFunder . We have the ability to raise the rest of the budget in a traditional manner from accredited investors, but have chosen to give as many investors, regardless of their income level or net worth, the chance to invest in this film to show Hollywood that the old manner of financing films can to be democratized. If the entire budget is not raised through equity crowdfunding, then more traditional investors will be given the chance to invest the remainder of the film's budget

Next Steps:

We are raising up to another $400,000, which is the final amount we plan to raise to produce the film. Any amount raised over the budget will be used for additional production, special effects, marketing, cast members and other production related expenses. This will take place until August 20, 2021, and we have finished all the filming in summer 2021, with post-production started already. We hope to release the film in early 2022
