BLOOD MOON • AI Video Teaser

This strategic fundraising campaign seeks to raise an initial $900,000 in equity funding ($450,000 from angel investors and $450,000 from private equity firms) to advance the film into its primary production phase. The campaign scales across three sequential timeline phases, kicking off with a $75,000 grassroots crowdfunding push on Seed & Spark to finance essential pre-production assets like a teaser trailer and casting. To incentivize high-value backers, the project structures investor returns through a standard industry waterfall that features a "120% rule" principal premium payback before initiating a standard 50/50 net profit split.

The core financial appeal of this campaign relies on strict risk-mitigation strategies, prominently featuring an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 cash rebate from the Texas Film Commission based on an 85% local spend in Austin and Lake Travis. Beyond state tax incentives, the final post-production and recoupment phase is fortified by $75,000 in locked-in international pre-sales across territories like the UK and Germany, alongside $75,000 in gap financing. By anchoring a commercially viable supernatural mystery with corporate product placement and guaranteed regional rebates, the campaign offers backers a structured, defensive floor to offset the traditional volatility of independent cinema.
