Thank you @Austin!

Good question about the potential profitability of the feature film. We are indeed expecting the result of the Phase 2 to recover its costs, especially considering our competetive advantage in being early and skilled adopters of generative AI.

To give a clear and concrete answer to this question is part of figuring out the production strategy during the Phase 1.

The idea is to honor the charitable nature of the project, so with the collaborators being fairly paid, the excess box office would be probably given back into the funding ecosystem and/or used for further campaign efforts and aditional media content that wouldn't be profitable on its own (educational, documentary).

This will be fully and clearly defined in the strategy at the end of the Phase 1 before we move to the Phase 2. When we have it, we start fundraising the 2M (production) + 5M (marketing and campaign).
