Great questions, I'd say maybe around 50 or so depending on who all would fall into your definition of "worked on" it. If you count the many people over the years that have offered feedback and support as well, became a part of our movie's cumulative family over time, we're probably well into the hundreds. Funds were raised via multiple units/shares in a private equity offering. But to even get to that point, we did a Kickstarter campaign very early on just to raise enough money to start raising the money (engage a lawyer, set up an LLC, etc). We shot the first few pages of the feature as a stand alone short ("proof of concept" piece) and used it to pull together some interest and a Kickstarter video, raised the rest of the funds from there. I wrote the script as well, I am the writer/director and lead producer.

We're figuring that out as we go right now actually, we've partnered with a great distribution company that found us and has gotten us onto a ton of various platforms: Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, VUDU, XBOX, Playstation, and a bunch more I just can't think of off the top of my head. As well as lots of cable providers' VOD services. Folks find us however they find us, watch the movie, then we get quarterly reports and checks from the distributor less their percentage. Currently, the ideal way for someone to check out our movie and optimize what we get in return is to be an Amazon Prime member where you can watch our movie for free as a benefit to your subscription. We get paid for every minute someone watches that way.

We'd already been out in the world for several months by the time his came out, so that was never really an option. We're really happy with the title of our movie given the subject matter and were on the public record long before their movie was even announced. Ha and no worries! So many people have that same story, we appreciate you giving us a few minutes :-)
