i'll be very transparent at the risk of undermining myself via lack of hype
documentaries do not tend to be money making ventures. but, to your point, i have a very strong track record and can likely get folks their money back plus some, if things go according to plan. but this is not a tremendous return type thing unless we tiger king (very hard to do). it's paying for something you want to see happen and taking a decent amount of risk.
getting money back depends on an HBO, Netflix, etc buying the project. this is the way i have gone historically. they don't tend to love space stories, but me and my team are very good at what we do and obviously got a space movie on HBO.
if someone REALLY wants to see this happen and does not care about the return, they could fund it, and we'll put it on YouTube so the whole world can see it without restrictions. there's no money coming back on that route. would be patron style philanthropy. since it's science related, we can even set it up to get tax deduction.
the biggest thing i can promise is that it would happen, it would happen relatively quickly, and we would do the best job of anyone in the world at making it because we have an incredible team, and i know the subject matter far better than any other filmmaker is going to
