What Is "Homestead"?

The end of the world may just be the beginning. 

Homestead, based on the best-selling book series Black Autumn, is a post-apocalyptic family survival drama. A string of attacks and collapses drives troubled Green Beret Jeff Kirkham to take a job as head of security for a wealthy doomsday prepper, Jason Ross. Ross has built an elaborate permaculture compound for friends and family. As the fabric of America goes to pieces, a few dozen families scramble to "The Homestead" in a last-ditch effort to survive.

They quickly discover that Ross' elaborate plans will not protect them. Outside the gates, desperate neighbors, criminals, and opportunistic rivals look to The Homestead's resources as a treasure trove.  Inside, the community divides into factions: military versus civilian, compassionate versus practical, spiritual versus rational. These groups clash over every fatality, every demand of survival, and over the strange prophecies of Jeff's adopted daughter.

Eventually, the gentle rhythms of the land permeate all, and a spirit of unity begins to overtake the community. As they cultivate the plants, animals, and the soil, and as they face looming destruction, their modern squabbles give way to ancient, forgotten truths.

What Will the Show Be Like?

Homestead is The Last of Us meets Lost in Space meets Seal Team. It’s a high-intensity end-of-the-world drama with a touch of military thriller. 

We believe that this story’s action-packed apocalyptic thrills combined with redemptive characters and hopeful themes make this a unique series. Unlike the incredibly popular apocalyptic movies and TV shows of our day, Homestead will show the good in humanity, be they Christian or atheist, compassionate or practical, prepared or untrained. It will make your heart race without making your stomach churn.

Other Projects the Team Has Worked On

Angel Studios Model

HOMESTEAD plans to bring this faith-based post-apocalyptic series to life in a way that traditional Hollywood has never done before, utilizing the innovative model of Angel Studios.  Angel Studios a film studio platform that helps creators come together with viewers to create high-quality TV and film without the Hollywood guesswork.  How do they do that?  Producers like us use the Angel Studios’ platform to pitch TV content to you, and then you --the audience-- chooses which projects qualify to be potentially distributed by Angel Studios. By partnering with its affiliated crowdfunding portal Angel Funding, Angel Studios has also innovated a way to let the audience invest in these projects to help fund their creation and for investors to share in some of the profits of films and TV series that are profitable.  

Past series projects backed by Angel Studios follow the same funding and development model that we plan to use.  We plan to use a combination of additional investments and the reinvestment of all of our revenue to continue to develop new seasons of our show, so profit distributions, if they happen at all, are likely to occur years down the road.  We have confidence in Angel Studios as a distribution partner because we have seen them forge new distribution methods and still help a project get to profitability.  The Chosen commenced a 120% distribution* (the preferred return) to its crowdfunding investors, and although we cannot say that we will be as popular as The Chosen, nor have as much success in obtaining revenue and profit as The Chosen, we have gained confidence in Angel Studios' ability to help us distribute our project in new and innovative ways.

* Investing in early-stage companies involves a high degree of risk, including the possibility of the total loss of your investment, and there is no guarantee of any return.  You should consult with your advisors prior to making an investment decision.  Additionally, we have highlighted The Chosen here solely as a demonstration of why we trust Angel Studios to be our distribution partner and not as an indication that our project will be as successful as The Chosen.  As of the time of this offering, no other series project backed by Angel Studios has reached profitability nor made distributions to investors and they all follow the model of reinvesting all of their revenues into the development of future seasons.

Unique Product Integrations

Homestead is working to create experiences for the viewer that go beyond the screen. Viewers will be able to see a product on the screen then buy it in real life. This will help viewers prepare their own family as they are learning from, and enjoying, the series. It will hopefully create an additional revenue stream for the show and increase the probability of success for investors.
