What is After Death?
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.
This fascinating film has already been made. The investment opportunity is to raise funds for theatrical distribution costs (P&A).
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).
Interviewees in After Death have been featured on BBC, NBC, TEDx, The Oprah Winfrey Show, National Geographic, and more.
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.”
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.
FAQ
No, this is not an opportunity to purchase equity in After Death. This is an investment in the film’s P&A. P&A stands for “Prints and Advertising,” and 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 movie like After Death and marketing it to moviegoers. It’s a crucial piece of the marketing budget for a film, and in the film industry, is attractive to 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, the 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.
Another exciting element is that the model for P&A investment has the promise of potential returns within a 12-month period, rather than the much lengthier time when you invest in a film before filming even begins.
No return is guaranteed, so only invest what you can afford to lose. However, the maximum repayment is 120% of your principal amount invested. P&A investors also get paid back before the rest of the film’s investors and/or owners (after the theaters take their cut).
Distributions will be paid out of the movie’s revenues. P&A investors will receive funds after the theaters take their cut and before any other investors and/or owners.
The minimum investment is $25.00. The reason for this is because we want as many people to participate as possible. We hope each investor in this opportunity will bring their friends and family to the theaters opening weekend.
You may invest as many times as you would like until you reach your investment limit under Regulation CF.
Our ability to offer securities to the public is possible due to legislation known as the Jobs Act. This law limits the amount that investors can purchase based on your annual revenue and net worth. There is no limit, however, if you are an accredited investor. If you have additional questions regarding this limit, feel free to ask in our Q&A tool at the bottom of the main page of this offering.
