Own a piece of the movie.
From $25 a stake.
Planet Backlot fractionalizes both new productions and existing catalog titles. Backers pledge into an escrowed offering. If the film hits its funding goal, equity is issued. If it misses, every dollar comes back. No exceptions.
R.E.E.L. + C.A.S.T.
Every offering is denominated in standardized units so backers know exactly what they hold.
A REEL is the unit of ownership in a single film offering — a recorded, transferable interest tied to that picture's revenue participation, on-chain and on the cap table.
CAST is the system that issues, settles, and tracks REELs across offerings — the ledger, the wallet, the payout rails. One protocol, every film.
Five steps. All-or-nothing.
Modeled on Reg CF mechanics through our offering partner, Fraction Kings.

What the math looks like.
A hypothetical offering — not a forecast, not a guarantee. Move the slider to see how units scale.
Illustrative only. Real offerings vary in REEL count, price, minimum, waterfall structure, and revenue participation. Every film publishes its own terms.
Fraction Kings handles the offering.
Planet Backlot is the studio and the storefront. Fraction Kings is the SEC-compliant offering platform that issues, escrows, and reports.
Offerings are made under Regulation Crowdfunding so anyone 18+ can participate, subject to investment limits.
Pledges sit in a regulated escrow account until the funding goal is met. Production never touches the money before then.
Backers receive ongoing reporting on production milestones, releases, and revenue distributions through CAST.
New productions and existing catalog.
Two distinct offering types share the same REEL/CAST machinery.
Films in development, financing, or production. Capital goes toward making the movie. REELs participate in revenue from every window the film opens — theatrical, streaming, TV, home video, ancillary.
Existing films whose rights-holders elect to fractionalize. Capital buys into ongoing distribution revenue — REELs share in licensing, streaming royalties, and re-release windows from day one.
Film is a speculative asset class.
Most independent films do not return their capital. Revenue is back-loaded, uncertain, and dependent on distribution outcomes outside any single party's control. Participate only with money you are prepared to lose entirely. Past performance of similar titles is not indicative of future results.
