INVEST IN ISLE CHILD - THE MOVIE
Thomas Kim is an Oscar-qualified, Sundance-fellow, writer/director for an upcoming coming-of-age movie called ISLE CHILD about Korean American identity, adoption, baseball in New England, and self-love.
ISLE CHILD is an extremely personal story about my childhood -- growing up in a small, non-diverse town. It's about the internalized self-oppression that so many young Asian-Americans feel while trying to fit in with the majority, unable to see themselves represented on screen and recognize that their feelings are, in fact, universal to everyone – regardless of race, class, or gender.
Our traction and numbers:
1) Based on the short film, SI, sold to and distributed by HBO/Max. Starring Ki Hong Lee (Maze Runner Trilogy)
2) Our award-winning team had a film screened at the biggest red-carpet film festivals, Sundance and SXSW, every year since 2015. A combined 50+ years of experience and 300+ film festivals
3) The script was selected by Dede Gardner (MOONLIGHT, THE BIG SHORT) for the notable Diverso MR Lab
4) Our Cannes-winning Executive Producer, Jim Cummings, has made over 400% ROI with the industry-shaking THUNDER ROAD in one year alone. He successfully crowdfunded THE BETA TEST for $350k in two weeks and recouped all costs to investors
5) Our project taps Asian-American spending power, which rose to $1.0 trillion in 2018 -- 81% also subscribe to at least one SVOD platform -- following the Asian film movement started by Parasite, Shang-Chi, Squid Games, Everything Everywhere All at Once, etc
Our Sundance/SXSW/Cannes-winning team launched a "WeFunder" crowdfunding campaign to find potential investors for as little as $100! As an Early Bird investor, you'd make back 130% return on investment before we even see a dollar. Since you're purchasing equity in our company Red Bean Pastry LLC, you'll also collect passive income off any of the film's revenue for the rest of your life.
We’ve raised over $50k in just 3 days and would love your help to get us across the finish line and seen on the big screen! You can see our pitch deck, pitch video, and invest here:
Thanks so much for your time! We hope you can join us and our journey to movie magic.
