Frequently Asked Questions
-
What's the minimum investment amount? / Do I have to be an accredited investor?
Answer: Wefunder allows both accredited and non-accredited investors to participate under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) rules. The minimum investment is just $100.
-
What are the risks?
Answer: Investing in films involves significant risks, including the potential loss of your entire investment. Success depends on many factors, as film projects are speculative. Full risk details are available on our Wefunder page.
-
When might I see returns?
Answer: Returns are tied to the film’s performance, including distribution deals and revenue generation, which could begin post-2025 if successful. However, timelines are speculative and not guaranteed.
-
What happens if the film doesn’t recoup its costs?
Answer: If the film does not generate enough revenue to cover costs, investors may lose their entire investment. This is a standard risk in film financing and reflects the high-risk, high-reward nature of the opportunity.
-
How will the funds be used?
Answer: Funds will be allocated to post-production (editing, color correction, sound, effects, music composition), distribution (securing streaming platforms and/or theatrical release), and marketing (promoting the film to maximize audience reach and revenue potential).
