"You Can Call Me Bill" will Allow Investors to Receive Profits From the Film

Los Angeles, CA - January 31, 2023 - Legion M, the world's first fan-owned entertainment company, is proud to announce that its equity crowdfunding round for the highly anticipated William Shatner documentary, "You Can Call Me Bill," has sold out from reservation holders before the company opened it up to the public. The film, which explores the life and career of the beloved actor, received an overwhelming response from the Legion M community who were eager to invest and become a part of this exciting project.

Legion M's unique model permits fans to invest directly into the documentary for a minimum of $100 and allows them to recoup their money before any compensation is shared with Shatner or Legion M.

"We heard loud and clear from our community that they were interested in direct investments into our projects and they backed that up by raising over $750K – fully funding a feature film before we even had a chance to announce the offering was open,” said Legion M co-founders Paul Scanlan and Jeff Annison. “Our signature fan-first financing model puts the audience investors at the front of the line and we’re excited for the success of this to serve as a prototype to build towards future projects with higher budgets.”

"You Can Call Me Bill" is directed by Alexandre O Philippe, produced by Kerry Dignan Roy and Jeff Annison, and Executive Produced by Paul Scanlan, Terri Lubaroff, David Baxter, and Matt Kemner. The film is the latest addition to Legion M's expanding portfolio, which includes hit films such as Archenemy and Mandy.
