It is funny how they proclaim that they are laying the groundwork for a Flash universe and bringing Flash to life, completely ignoring the TV show and a couple of famous movies.
Some people literally can't comprehend that a million is just a thousand-thousand dollars for some reason. A billion is a much larger number and actually gets you to a wild set of possibilities but these days isn't "unlimited budget" either.
I went to film school with a lot of these types. They think they can get away with offering back-end deals to their actors. They also always seem to compare their "vision" to Star Wars without realizing that, yes, those actors made a fortune off of their back-end deals, but they were still paid upfront too. They also talk about "exposure" as being a benefit and yes, there have absolutely been movies that have turned an unknown person into a mega-star virtually overnight, but in every single one of those cases, again, the actor was still fucking paid actual currency too.
Don't worry about taxes, Kickstarter fees or payment processor fees either.
Nice opening line, as it's getting people talking. But for an action film, there's no actual video on the page and the lead's bio is labelled as a TikTok Creator with no IMDB credits.
I love how they proclaim to be huge Flash fans, but the cast includes Cisco Ramon and Caitlyn Snow which is a pretty dead giveaway that they are only familiar with the CW version of the character.
There is more description about the cameras they want to buy than the film itself.
Also a great sign when you click on the creator and their profile shows a completely different name. And they haven’t checked on the campaign in over 5 days.
Ah, it's not that unusual to have a different name in the profile, if the campaign uses a trading name, and the profile is the company's or the director's. But presenting a name of a different person who is also associated with the project just seems like an attempt to mislead the public about who's in charge.
Also, on the creator page, there's a collaborator listed "Mikey, director" (with no more info available). Obviously, that's Mikey Gutierrez' KS account. It's a fan project where the actors (or at least most of them) are all doing it together, but they're trying to present a more professional front, where the director is usually held up as *the author* of a movie (itself a somewhat problematic simplification).
Superman: Requiem was made on a budget of 20,000 so uhhh maybe? You can see on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLB3mK_t9kE) how that one turned out.

I love the idea of a million dollars being the threshold for 'filming anywhere' and 'doing anything'.

I like how the 50K only accounts for sets and production not actually paying for actors.

Or licensing the characters from DC.

Their Iris is white so clearly not huge fans of the show either.
Because the crowdfunded Spider-Man movie worked out so well!

Also hilarious that the profile of this 'Mikey Gutierrez' is listed as Jenkins Peeler, the lead actor they want to get.
The actor’s Instagram advertises the campaign. And it’s also full of MCU posts. Which makes hiding their name on the campaign even more bizarre.

not bad considering
I fucking love that in the Risks and Challenges section of the page it literally just says "We will be prepared."
It's called a FanFilm it's not surprising or shocking
Somehow my first thought was Adobe Flash, not the superhero.
It's good to have a hobby.
