What Zaphod said 
Also -- and this is an important distinction in our business -- this is not a vanity project. Vanity projects are usually projects with no commercial appeal that must be self-funded, because financiers don't want to.
More importantly, in addition to spreading the risk, it spreads the rewards! If you are a risk-averse investor and approach every investment asking "how can I minimize risk?" then high-risk high-reward investments like ours are simply not your cup of tea. T-bills await you.
Movies *can* make a ton of money. A ton. Insane amounts. They can also make nothing and you'd lose all your money and I'd lose 3 years of my life. But I'm not pitching failure here, and we've designed this movie to be made for as low a budget as possible and still be high quality. That's the biggest risk management we can do on this movie.
The reason we're raising money this way is because the studios simply do not make live action family Christmas comedies. But the audience wants to see them, so there's a vacuum in the marketplace. 675+ investors agree with us, and they've invested over $600,000 so far.
As one investor said after investing -- "You'd have to make a pretty terrible Christmas movie to lose money on it." I love that he said that. Look at our record -- we don't make terrible content.
