I've seen enough. Angel Studios, which was good, is not going to recover from this Animal Farm debacle. Is it time to start a new version of it where people can donate money to make projects that are good?

Hey Bobby, There are very few people on the planet that knows as much as I do about the marketing of faith based entertainment. I was head of video at the ad agency that did Pure Flix's marketing. I know exactly what you guys did. I was the guy who had to remove guns from movie trailers to make the films more appealing to 65yo women. I had meetings and sent e-mails to C-Suite leaders almost every day. Millions of dollars of ad spend were spent on my ads. We have a team that has worked for the highest levels of the industry. That no far more about building younger generation brands than I ever will. We have a very complex financial analysis we had done last year just from our MVP we've already built and tested. The numbers are wildly in our favor. I've spoken to hundreds of insanely talented artists. Many of whom have directed, produced and worked on shows from Cartoon Network to Disney and Netflix. They have begged you guys to take more risk knowing it comes with a pay cut. You won't. So they go to Hollywood instead. The issue is not talent. It's not lack of market. It's a top-down executive problem. Anyone who has worked in the industry and sees this post will agree with me. Full stop. The good news is we are only one courageous check away from being able to scale with all the lights on and gasoline in the tank. And when that happens we won't have to remove explosions from our trailers anymore. And our artists won't have to ask permission from anyone other than the audience.

Every streaming platform in the country told Tim Ingle no. A show about teddy bears reenacting the most violent Old Testament stories? Stuffing flying everywhere? A king so fat a sword disappears inside him? They’d smile politely and hand him a pamphlet about their upcoming Hallmark-style slop slate. The faith-based entertainment industry has decided that the Bible needs to be sanitized for your protection. They’ve turned the most insane, bloody, horrifying, and triumphant book ever written into greeting card content. Ehud shoved a blade so deep into a tyrant king that the fat closed over it. Samson killed a thousand men with a donkey jawbone. Your boys should know about this. But the gatekeepers don’t want boys to be inspired by brave men. They want moms who buy subscriptions in December. So everything gets sanded down into safe, non-threatening, committee-approved mush that nobody under 40 actually wants to watch. And most importantly, that stale demographic doesn't create pop culture. Tim Ingle walked up to us at a film festival with a beaten up teddy bear drawn on a napkin. The guy worked on Phineas and Ferb. And the pitch was so wild that every distributor in the room passed on it. We believed that’s exactly the kind of show that needs to exist. We've raised over $40k. Fans organized funding blitzes. Kids were mowing lawns to fund the next episode. Men are starving for stories about men who actually did something and we keep feeding them Hallmark slop instead. Bearly Biblical is streaming on LOOR and I think you should watch it with your kids and fund the season to completion.
