What is After Death?

  1. After Death is a feature-length documentary releasing in theaters on October 27th that explores one of life’s biggest mysteries: What happens after we die? In this film we hear from people who have experienced these events first-hand.

  2. This fascinating film has already been made. The investment opportunity is to raise funds for theatrical distribution costs (P&A).

  3. After Death features interviews with New York Times bestselling authors, doctors, scientists, and near-death survivors including Don Piper (90 Minutes In Heaven), Dr. Mary Neal (To Heaven and Back), John Burke (Imagine Heaven), Dr. Jeffrey Long (Evidence for the Afterlife), and Dr. Raymond Moody (Life After Life).

  4. Interviewees in After Death have been featured on BBC, NBC, TEDx, The Oprah Winfrey Show, National Geographic, and more. 

  5. After Death explores the human spirit, our collective search for meaning, and the eternal quest to uncover the truth about what lies beyond this mortal realm.

What is P&A?

P&A stands for “Prints and Advertising.” It’s an old theatrical industry term from back when movies were printed onto physical film. The term is still widely used today to describe the cost of taking a finished film like After Death and marketing it to moviegoers. 

It’s a crucial piece of the marketing budget for a film, and may be appealing to certain investors. Why? Because with P&A, money is only raised after the film is already made and you know the quality of the work. Also, any potential return to P&A investors is paid directly out of theatrical proceeds–meaning P&A investors get paid right after the theater gets paid. So it’s the last money in, and the first money out.

The project will follow the standard film industry payout model. Another compelling aspect is that the model for P&A investment holds the potential for returns within a 12-month period, as opposed to the significantly longer timeframe required when investing in a film before the filming process even begins.*

About After Death

After Death is a captivating and thought-provoking film that delves into the enigmatic question that has fascinated humanity for centuries: What happens when we die? Through a combination of personal accounts, scientific research, philosophical discussions, and exploration of best-selling stories of near-death experiences, the film takes viewers on a profound journey of discovery.

The film examines both the spiritual and scientific dimensions of near-death experiences, inviting viewers to contemplate the possibilities and engage in their own reflections.

“I’ve found that there are a lot of people in this world who are hurting and searching for answers. I have a deep personal connection to the stories we’ve included in our film, which is why I’ve dedicated the past 6+ years of my life creating this in hopes that it becomes a beacon of hope for others. For skeptics, my hope is that this film opens the door to begin to ask important questions.”

Stephen Gray
Director

What Will the Film be Like?

After Death is similar to films like Heaven is For Real and Case For Heaven in that it challenges conventional notions of mortality by sharing the powerful testimonies of people who have had near-death experiences and entered an otherworldly realm.

The film explores themes of life, death, faith, heaven, and hell and caters to believers and skeptics alike. After Death seeks to spark a profound and respectful dialogue about the afterlife. It invites viewers to challenge their preconceived notions, encourages open-mindedness, and instills a sense of wonder about the mysteries that await us all.

The Angel Studios Model

While investing in movies and TV series carries significant risks, and there’s no assurance of a definite return on investment, it’s worth noting that certain genres have demonstrated consistent profitability over the years. Movies like Heaven is For Real and Miracles from Heaven stand out as examples, having achieved tremendous success at the box office. It’s important to acknowledge, however, that the success of our film may not necessarily match that of the aforementioned movies. Nevertheless, movies of this kind often have the potential to become timeless classics, enduring the test of time and generating continuous downstream revenues for years to come. Our team aims to take a fresh approach in bringing this film to life, employing the innovative model of Angel Studios, which has the potential to revolutionize traditional Hollywood methods. Despite our best efforts and innovative approach, we must emphasize that the success and profitability of any film remain uncertain and subject to various factors beyond our control.

Angel Studios is a film studio platform that helps creators come together with viewers to create high-quality TV and film. Producers like us use the Angel Studios platform to pitch TV content to you, and then you—the audience—choose which projects qualify to be potentially distributed by Angel Studios. Additionally, the audience can invest in a project through Angel Funding (Angel Studios’ affiliated crowdfunding portal) and, if the project is successful, share in some of the returns of that project.* Other creators using this model have shown that, when projects are done right, they can reach millions of people.** That includes productions like The Chosen, which has commenced paying a 120% distribution of their investors’ original investment.***

* There is no guarantee that After Death will be profitable or that an investment in After Death will result in a return of your investment. Any such investment is subject to significant risk, including the risk of loss of your entire investment. You should not invest more than you can afford to lose.

** Viewership of a production does not guarantee the commercial success or profitability of the production or the company creating it.

*** The entity and team that created The Chosen are different to those creating After Death, and the success of The Chosen is not indicative of the success of After Death. Not all creators that have partnered with Angel Studios and Angel Funding have issued a return to their investors.

    How will I know if my local theater will be showing this on 10/27/2023? I called and they told me that they have no idea if they will be showing it. Do you know what theaters are airing/showing this in advance of the documentary's airing date?

    Allow me to first say thank you!!! Thank you for taking on such a difficult and unique topic of life, after death. I’m excited to see the entire movie, but having only watched the preview I am much more at peace knowing I’m not the only one struggling with the challenges of living after a death/near death experience. Outside of my family, church, and a few friends I’ve not talked to many about what I’ve experienced but everyone I’ve talked to says I should write a book. In February of 2019, what the first doctors thought was the flu, turned out to be a septic infection. The first hospital I went to intubated me, put me on life support, and then flew me to the main hospital. After arriving there the infection caused my heart and lungs to stop and the doctors had to do cpr for over 5 minutes to bring me back. I spent 25 days in a coma and then months in the hospital recovering. What I saw during that time was life altering. I experienced both a calmness that is hard to explain, as well as a darkness that I cannot forget. When talking with those that were by my side I’ve been able to describe seeing things that I shouldn’t be able to know. While the rest of my body was shutting down, my brain stayed active and interpreted everything that was happening around me, even though my eyes were closed. Not only what I heard and smelled, but also every touch; so every needle and surgical blade that was used to save my life, I felt. Because I was in a coma, no one knew how much I was suffering inside. But my story doesn’t end there, that was just one chapter. Since then I’ve been blessed in so many different ways, all because it wasn’t my time. I’d love to be able to get this message out to others and hopefully give them something to hold onto in their darkest moments, but I don’t know where to start.

    Has the film been reviewed by various religious? I tried to find opinions from the Roman Catholic Church as well as Protestant Assembly of God.

    Over time, we've had people from all walks of life preview this film. We haven't had the leadership of a particular religion review. We hope we made a film for all people to feel invited into.

    The first thing I screamed while crying as soon as I heard my wife had passed away was “My God Lynnette!! Where ARE you??” I couldn’t stop thinking about what exactly happened to her a few seconds after she died. I’ve been obsessed with that question ever since. So I believe in this project and this film…and that’s why I invested $500 in it. I believe in my broken and healing heart that it’s going to epic! This is for YOU my love. ❤️‍🩹

    I have communicated with my daughter since she died from suicide. I have a picture of her orb and energy when she visited me. I also have a picture of her when I was feeling down and prayed to her for a sign and her face appeared in the clouds. If you should ever do a documentary of after death communication, I would live to share her story. She has indicated to me that it's all about having hope and losing the fear x death!
