Overview
"[Their work is] well put-together, and it's good comedy, and I like that my kids like it...very clever."
"The only other happy clean thing that makes me laugh is Parks and Rec. JK! Studios is awesome!"
"I became obsessed with them."
"[Their] stage presence is amazing, the way [they] work the room is amazing."
"THE SHOW THE WORLD NEEDS RIGHT NOW"
Ever have trouble deciding what to watch as a family on a Friday night? Ever want to stab yourself in the eyes if you have to watch Frozen 2 one more time? Want to create something for your family and hopefully make money at the same time?
Then today you can invest in a new kind of TV show.
Parents in America spend about 30 billion hours a year watching TV with their Kids. That's 3,000 years!
The problem is, most TV shows don't work for the whole family. Adult shows may be inappropriate for your kids. And kids shows were designed during the Cold War to drive adults slowly mad. (Caillou is banned by the Geneva Convention, but our enemies still use it.)
Introducing Freelancers
Freelancers is a family-friendly sitcom for everyone. The show follows 5 best friends trying to make it as filmmakers, one terrible job at a time. It's fast and absurd like 30 Rock, and happy and funny like Parks & Rec. (Check out the pilot above!)
We made Season 1 with a tiny production budget and no marketing money, yet it still got viewed millions of times.
Now we want to show what we can do with an actual budget! Today you can invest in Freelancers to help create a show for your whole family, and hopefully make a profit at the same time.
THE INVESTMENT
Unlike other crowd-funding opportunities where you get a T-shirt, you're not donating to this project. You're INVESTING. That means if this show succeeds in earning enough revenue, you will earn a share of the profits.
And the profits on successful content can be huge^
^Note that as with all investments, even if Freelancers earns profits, there is no guarantee it will be enough to pay a return to you.
But more importantly, when you invest, you'll be creating something you believe in. Something your whole family can enjoy together.

FAQ
We plan for Season 2 to be produced and released in late 2021. Plans may change based on COVID restrictions.
Currently, season 1 is on JK! Studios’ YouTube channel. It will soon also be available via streaming on VidAngel.
Yes. As an owner of Freelancers, you would be entitled to your share of profits. As a Series A Preferred Unit holder, you would earn up to 120% of your initial investment before the founders of Freelancers take any profit. So you get paid only if and when Freelancers earns enough profit to produce future episodes and distribute profits. The management of Freelancers determines when profit can be distributed, based on the company’s financial needs for operations.
The money you invest will go towards our production and marketing costs to complete episodes 1-8 of Freelancers Season 2 and then advertise it.
We have teamed up with VidAngel to help make our creative endeavors more profitable. TV Shows generate income from distribution, whether it’s from customers of streaming sites, DVD rentals and sales, or international distributors purchasing the rights. Initially, Freelancers will be distributed exclusively through VidAngel Studios. Down the road it will potentially be distributed on television or other streaming services. We also will be selling Freelancers merchandise.
We will be offering 1,070,000 Preferred Units and issuing up to 5% of that amount to VAS Portal, LLC for their services in issuing the offering.
Yes! You may invest as many times as you would like until you reach your investment limit under Reg CF (as long as you haven't reached your personal investment limits set up by the SEC).
No. Although no law limits the minimum amount of money you can invest as an individual, transaction costs related to the purchase of the units, and ongoing maintenance make accepting investments less than $100 unsustainable for the company.
Our ability to offer our units to the public is possible due to recent legislation known as the Jobs Act. This same law limits the amount that investors can purchase based on your annual revenue and net worth. If you have additional questions regarding this limit, feel free to ask in our Q&A tool at the bottom of the main page of this offering.
Every country has its own securities laws. We are offering this Reg CF round under the laws of the US and so we know what we need to do to allow US citizens to invest and be compliant with those laws. We don't have the resources to be able to identify and comply with the securities laws in other jurisdictions, so we limit investments to US citizens.
Yes, as part of Regulation CF, we are required to file annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will post that on this site. We will also send out regular investor updates via email to let you know all the latest news of the company.
No. Freelancers, LLC is a legal entity that is a separate and distinct company from VidAngel, Inc. Investments made on this investment are in Freelancers, LLC not VidAngel, Inc.
