Want your movie or show made for you?

Howdy Storytellers 🤠,

I want to let you in on something wild.

Next weekend, a few of us from the Creatorwood team are renting a Barbie House in Las Vegas to make a film using the Creatorwood Movie Machine. (I’ll drop a photo at the bottom of this email because it’s as ridiculous and fun as it sounds.)

The goal of the weekend is simple: push the limits of the Movie Machine, fix the rough edges of the platform, and make filmmaking smoother for all storytellers in the beta.

Over the last few weeks the team has been sprinting to improve the platform ahead of our December 1st public launch. In the process, something unexpected happened.

As our support team started learning the platform hands-on and helping storytellers, a few of you asked, “Hey, can you just make my movie using the Movie Machine for me?”

At first, we laughed. Then we tried it.

We quietly started charging a few early storytellers to have our team produce their films for them using the Movie Machine and it blew up.

Within days, we sold out every single slot for October into early November. We were like, what is going on?!

We even had to triple our support team just to keep up 🤯.

Now we get it: some of you don’t want to learn all the tech, you just want your story brought to life.

And that’s totally okay.

95%+ of folks who use the Movie Machine opt to use it themselves and NOT hire our team to do it for them. By December 1st, you all will have your invites to use the Movie Machine yourself (many of you already have your invite 😊).

But for the few of you who would rather just submit your story to us and have us do all the heavy lifting of using the Movie Machine and even launching your film for you – we can do it all.

So for a limited time, we’re opening a few more VIP Production spots at the same early-bird rate that sold out.

And that early-bird rate is so cheap that we are losing money on every single production we make (you can compare the cost of making a film yourself with the Movie Machine v.s. hiring our team here).

Quick pause: there’s seriously NO pressure or rush to do this. Creatorwood is going nowhere and the Movie Machine is only going to get better and more powerful. Overtime, we will also have more and more examples to show you… with Creatorwood being in beta, things are still early.

That’s part of the fun, and part of why we are offering you this deal where we are losing money (no gimmicks here, I’m secretly hoping very few of you take us up on this offer).

With that said, it felt against the core of what our company stands for to quietly raise our prices for VIP Production (prices are NOT RAISING for using the Movie Machine yourself) and not share this special deal with all of you.

Our mission at Creatorwood is to help Storytellers Rule the World and lower the barrier to entry to create and distribute films as low as possible.

We don’t cut special deals with anyone. And we NEVER take any rights to your work or make the big promises that studios often make (we don’t promise any sort of financial return, we just make it as simple, cheap, and powerful as possible for you to produce films with AI and share your films with the world).

So… this deal is now available to everyone, but only for a limited-time (until November 1st). Unfortunately, we will have to permanently raise prices for our VIP Production Service, not because of AI costs, but the costs to pay our team fairly and have them invest the time and love into making your production that it deserves.

Interested in having us make your movie, show, or film for you? Whether it’s 100 minutes long or 5 minutes long, read on for the details 👇

🎬 $75 per finished minute of film (projects under 10 minutes include a small setup fee)

💰 25% of your fee goes toward marketing your movie (we don’t guarantee any financial returns, but we want to invest into promoting every film so we can all learn together about what it takes to grow a viewership for AI films)

💡 A simple 20% down payment locks in your rate for future production (you can even reserve multiple films with us up to a year in the future at this discounted rate, just by making the downpayment 😉).

👑 You keep 100% of the rights to your film and can distribute it anywhere. We aren’t a studio and we NEVER will be. We are doing this so our team can support all storytellers on the platform better (those doing it themselves and in our VIP Production Service… this is also why we have extremely limited spots!).

🛠️ Satisfaction guarantee (for this batch only we’ll continue revising your film until you love it, or you get 100% of your money back)

Normally, it’s a 50% money-back guarantee since part of the cost covers non-refundable AI video generation but right now, we’re going all-in.

If you’re not happy with your film, we don’t want your money.

It’s that simple.

We want you thrilled and proud of what you create with us.

Now, to be super clear, making your film with us doesn’t guarantee any financial results or viewership outcomes.

Our VIP Production Service doesn’t give special reach or ranking on Creatorwood’s Streaming Platform.

What we do provide is a production team to make your film and a paid advertising budget behind it to help you reach your first viewers.

We can’t promise returns, but we can promise control.

You’ll own 100% of your film, all the rights, all the creative freedom.

We’re literally investing and losing money on this early round because we believe in helping creators like you bring your stories to life. Every project helps us learn, grow the ecosystem, and build this new era of filmmaking with you.

That said, you absolutely don’t have to do this.

Almost all of our creators use the Movie Machine self-service option which is roughly 1/3 the price of having our team do it for you, and that’s totally okay (and much cheaper… our full pricing calculator is here).

We’re just offering this for those who’d rather skip the learning curve and have our team do it for them.

This price isn’t sustainable forever. After November 1st, rates rise to $100+ per finished minute.

You don’t need to start your movie or show right now, you just need to put down 20% before November 1st to lock in your discounted rate for a future project.

Note: if our VIP Success Team has no calls left over the next week, no worries. Just reply ‘interested’ to this email, and we will walk you through the process + set-up a time to chat with you one-on-one at your convenience.

Our process is simple: we give you a no BS answer on if we can produce your specific film vision given the current capabilities of the Movie Machine, and if we are confident we can, we’ll give you a full quote at our discounted rate based on your desired film length AND discuss openings for us to produce your project given our current schedule

(hint: the sooner you pay your downpayment to lock in the date, the better the chance that spots haven’t run out!).

We’re learning a ton next weekend at the Barbie House and we can’t wait to share the results with you soon. (The photos alone are worth it, just check out this snapshot of the glam room)

We’re early. We’re working as hard as we can. And we’re all-in on helping you make your story real and being real about our process, challenges, and excitement along the way.

Expect a few more updates from me before this opportunity expires, and a ton of free resources to help you succeed in this new filmmaking industry we are creating together over the coming weeks 💙.

In the meantime, don’t forget…

Your Story Deserves to Be Seen,

Michael and the Creatorwood Team

P.S. If you’re thinking about the VIP Production Service from Creatorwood, don’t wait, this early-bird deal expires November 1st.

Reply “interested” to this email before then to lock in your spot and keep the $75-per-minute rate.

Once the clock hits November 1st, this offer is gone for good.
