Round 8 Wait List Update

Legion M's 8th Round officially SOLD OUT on Jan 4 and quickly developed a wait list of more than 500 investors. Since the SEC allows us to raise up to $5MM in a rolling 12 month period, we were able to refile on Feb 15th and add an additional $850K worth of room -- enough to accommodate the entire waitlist and a limited number of new investors.

If you are on the waitlist, please check your inbox for an email from StartEngine -- you must confirm your investment before 2/23 or it will be cancelled.

Once the new cap is reached, the round 8 terms will be retired. That makes this the last chance to invest at the Round 8 price, the last opportunity to invest prior to the 10-for-1 stock split, and last call to get your name (between now and March 13th) in the credits for The Man in The White Van.

If you are an existing Round 8 investor THANK YOU for making it one of the most successful in Legion M history. If you are thinking about joining Round 8 but haven’t gotten around to it...now is the time!

Legion M Shareholders in Super Bowl Ads?!?

Last weekend's big game featured not just one, but TWO Legion M shareholders in Super Bowl Ads! A lot of folks recognized Legion M advisor William Shatner in a Planet Fitness commercial with Lindsay Lohan, but eagle-eyed viewers also spotted a Legion M shareholder -- Round 2 investor JEFF AYARS -- playing Thomas Jefferson in a 60 second ClickUp spot.

Congratulations to both Bill and Jeff -- we’re proud to have you in the Legion! And it’s nice to know that when it comes time for Legion M to have Super Bowl ads of our own, we’ve got veterans like you to show us the ropes! :)

Live Q&A with Alexandre O. Philippe
Wed 2/23 at 4pm PT via Zoom

Rooted in Greek and Egyptian mythology, underground comics, H.P. Lovecraft, and the art of Francis Bacon, Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror masterpiece burst onto the scene in 1979, and traumatized an entire generation of moviegoers. But how did "Alien" manage to connect so deeply with our primordial fears, and how can we explain the enduring popularity of the infamous Chestburster scene? Join 3-time Sundance Film Festival alum Alexandre O. Philippe, Denise Demetriou (Gerry and Jeannie Ranglas Chair in Ancient Greek History) and Daisuke Miyao (Director of Film Studies), as they explore the cultural resonance and perennial nature of Alien’s archetypal monster, and discuss Alexandre’s filmmaking process behind the Legion M movie "Memory: The Origins of Alien".

Development Updates

We filmed pick-ups for THE MAN IN THE WHITE VAN in Sarasota, Florida in January. The pick-ups showcased the natural beauty of Florida, bringing a deeper storytelling layer of which we're very proud. Our first rough cut of the film is done and we're waiting for the next rough cut from our director and editor! We have weekly meetings about all things post-production, including post budgeting, schedules, music, score, color, sound, PR, film festival submissions and sales plans. We hope to have picture lock in late March and deliver the film to our sales agency by May. In addition to post, we are also working on the film's social impact campaign, as well as a special announcement about the film's soundtrack!
