Just spoke with the filmaker. Film is in post and will be released shortly. Current ETA is next week.
Congratulations Ian!
More Christian horror please.
Congrats Ian Eyre & @watchloor for another 💯 funded film! Christian Horror Thriller: Pray V Prey. This film premieres in Memphis, 6/1 at 7pm at the Malco Powerhouse Cinema Grill. They’ll also show the theatrical premiere of @bearlybiblical ep 2, Left Ahead, the story of Ehud! ⭐️
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.
@MicahBeckley Sorry I just saw this! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I like this one too haha. I don’t know of a site exactly like that but @WatchLoor lets you vote on projects with your subscription dollars. It’s more than a logline though. They’ve got some great stuff!
$14.99 /month and you get to choose what gets funded on @WatchLoor and no ads.
Also you can spend more if you want to see something you like fund faster.
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.
Are you an AI filmaker looking to raise money to cover AI credits or subscriptions to fund your next AI short film?
Let me introduce you to LOOR, the platform that allows monthly subscribers to fund indie filmmaker's with their own subscription money. Now open to the next generation of AI film makers.
Send me a DM if you want to use LOOR to fund and stream your next project or email Support at LOOR dot TV.
@BMcGrewvy@WatchLoor Heck no!
Violence, yes. Very much yes.
Porn, no. Nudity and blasphemy aren’t allowed on the site.
That said, not every show or move needs to explicitly Christian or star Kirk Cameron or Kevin Sorbo (though Sorbo did do some narration in one episode of a show).
If you are an AI filmmaker and you're looking to raise money for your AI films, you should talk to us at LOOR.
Promote your short films above the slop. Build a name for yourself and raise money for more credits.
Send us a DM.

Six years ago, my team set out to build LOOR TV. A mixture of Netflix and Kickstarter, with a gamified twist that appeals to younger generations.
We knew that pop-culture is always created from college and younger demographics. Not 55yo women who shop at bookstores. Yet, the entire industry was addicted to this market.
No one was willing to think different. No one believed our platform would work. But a small group of seed investors did.
So we put the platform together piece by piece. Slowly. With patience. Faithfully maximizing every dollar.
The first step was building a real world test.
So we spent time developing the technology, while at the same time building out a Rolodex of insanely talented and disruptive filmmakers just looking for an opportunity to tell stories that everyone else said no to. Not because of a lack of skills, but because of a lack of courage.
We needed to prove the model.
So we tested the platform for an entire year. Proved that people spent more money than their monthly subscription. We generated 2/3rd's of our revenue from our top 25% of users. Whales and Scales.
We demonstrated the platform works, and it worked better than we guessed.
After the testing period, we brought on Shon Tomlin and asked him to be our CEO. A bona fide FOX Cable Network executive and Emmy winner with years of experience building profitable young generation brands.
He's spent the last year working behind the scenes prepping us for scale.
We brought on legal council who have worked for some of the biggest cable networks on the planet.
We did a deep dive financial analysis. Multi-year projections and created a legitimate business plan. What we built works, and the numbers back the hypothesis. Everything the most sophisticated of investors would need.
And now we are ready. It's time to disrupt the industry. It's time to scale.
This is how we do it.
- Build a platform with little to no upfront content spend.
- Maximize individual user revenue.
- Build towards self-sustaining profitability, not increased production costs.
- Reduce customer acquisition costs.
- Adopt a "SpaceX vs NASA" approach to film production. Reduce bureaucracy, build fast with low costs, crash often, get one ship to space.
- Incubate and develop new and undiscovered talent.
- Target audiences under 30yo.
We can keep complaining about the state of media. Or we can build something different. And we can do so with far less investment than any other platform out there.
If you want to know how we have done this. Reach out to me. I'll go into the details, the finances, the reports.
It's time to build something different.
Make sure you check out our long time friends at @BrainyPixel new project Righteous Warriors by paying $5 to watch the entire episode. Support incredible artists.
