Dream Shot Playhouse
Our intention is to bring back the style and quality of dramatic storytelling introduced and perfected during the golden years of television. Dream Shot Playhouse will follow a unique one set storytelling and production approach.
Screenplays will follow the common theme of exploring human nature through well-developed characters and creative story concepts. Our playhouse will draw upon the classic storytelling and television production styles evolved from shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Playhouse 90, Kraft Television Theatre, Goodyear TV Playhouse, Texaco Star Theatre and The Twilight Zone.
Dream Shot Playhouse is now in pre-production. Filming will begin in November 2024.
Dream Shot Playhouse Opener
168 Film and Angel Studios Collaboration
Dream Shot Films began it's filmmaking journey in 2021, inspired by the award winning faith-based scripts and and film projects previously submitted to the 168 Film Project. In 2022, our submittal "A Tip Of The Hat" earned Rey Triboletti a nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
New for 2023, The 168 Film Project established a pathway from short films to Features and TV through a new collaboration with Angel Studios. There are many ways to enter, including their speed film competition where producers have 168 hours (1 week) to shoot and edit a 11-minute movie based on a Scripture. At the 168 Film Festival, awards are given in over 20 categories of artistic and technical merit. 168 illuminates the Word of God and provides a training ground for filmmakers. See 168film.com for more info.
Our newest project, Dream Shot Playhouse is an incubator for 28 minute "proof-of-concept" film projects, produced for 168 Film and Angel Studio evaluations.
Crowdfunding Faith Films and the Angel.com Model
Angel Studios uses equity crowdfunding to finance original productions. Individual investors purchase shares of upcoming media productions. Notable crowdfunding hits include The Chosen, which raised $10.3 million for production and was the largest ever crowdfunded entertainment project in history at the time.
What is the Angel Guild? Guild members rate projects by watching and voting on "Torches" (undistributed concept footage or completed films, TV series and documentaries).
Submissions: For a fee, filmmakers may submit torches to Angel Studios, who will then share the torch with the Angel Guild. About 6% of all submitted productions get a green light in the following categories:
-
Children’s Shows and Concept Videos,
-
Documentaries & Completed Productions, and
-
Films Intended for Theatrical.
“Pay It Forward” vs Investing: According to Angel: “Both benefit the project. However, an investment is the purchase of investment shares from the creator with the hope of a monetary return on that investment. A Pay It Forward (PIF) is a purchase that benefits the production, but has no expectation of a monetary return. Instead, with the purchase of a PIF we offer certain perks which include the opportunity to help share the
show with more people across the world.”
Levels of Engagement: You can invest in “Sponsored Torches” (approved by the Angel Guild). These get the best placement in the crowdfunding offerings. You can also “Express Interest” for projects which are under consideration for funding.
When you consider investing, you are taken to “Angel Funding” and you get this message, "You are now leaving this website to enter Angel Funding, a FINRA regulated portal." This ensures that all legal hurdles are managed precisely, as they must be.
Conclusion: There are many modes of involvement. Do your research at Angel.com. The devil is in the details, but this is an exciting model in the faith film market.
