Over the years, sports films such as these have continued to bring world- wide success at the box office. People of all generations have always gravitated to the drama of sports on the silver screen, and they will continue to do so. The anticipation of the thrill of victory, the quest of the human spirit, the triumph against seemingly insurmountable odds, the special camaraderie between teammates, and the passion and determination to do what no one has ever done before, will always attract large audiences. Every one of the films listed above has at least one of these traits. Our film has them all. And our film is true.

Our film is the true story about a blind athlete who overcame all odds to become a track star, then a wrestling champion and finally a starter on the high school football team. It is a story about how a man, blinded as a child, proved to the world, that he was as good as anyone with two eyes. It is a story about a man who not once, but twice, beat impossible odds. It is a story about Michael Chastain, an athlete who came out of the darkness. A NOTE TO INVESTORS

The following points were taken directly from a two different articles written about the risk and reward of investing in a movie.

 A movie is the best investment one can make for the up-side potential vs. the risk.  There is no business with manufacturing capital entry requirements as low as motion pictures where the potential return can be as unlimited over the short, medium and long terms.  With new markets, such as China (1.2 billion new potential moviegoers) and India (900 million new potential English-speaking moviegoers), investor would be imprudent not to take a serious look at the potential rewards of movie investments at this time.

-James R. Jaeger II, 1985-2003, Why Invest in a Movie? http://www.mecfilms.com/whyinves.htm.  Not only can investing in film bring a lot of excitement, it has the potential to bring a large financial windfall.  There is nothing more rewarding than investing in a motion picture that you truly believe in and then seeing it come to completion. And, investing in the motion picture industry, you can potentially earn a huge return on your investment. -Movie Investments, 2007, http://www.movieinvestments.us/index.html. STORY SYNOPSIS

When he was just 6 years old, Michael Chastain was struck in his right eye by an arrow. After loosing vision in his right eye, he began to suffer from a rare condition where the trauma to his right eye caused damage to his left.

He attended school, but his condition continued to worsen. He soon was moved to a Braille class where he stayed for six years and met blind kids who were timid and withdrawn, and like him, were cruelly treated by “normal” children.

In the seventh grade, Michael was allowed to return to regular classes where he discovered track, and a talent for wrestling. He was able to run by concentrating on the faint white lines he could barely see on the track. By the eighth grade, he no longer was able to run track because his blindness was complete. His wrestling ability earned him the respect of his peers and the friendship of Ray Rogers when he made the high school wrestling team. He followed the voices of others in the hallways so as not to reveal his complete blindness.

Over the next few years, his celebrity as a wrestling star grows, and newspapers and TV stations begin to cover the amazing story of the blind wrestler. Becoming more comfortable with his blindness, Michael goes through the normal trials of high school adolescence, including girls. By the end of his junior year, he finds himself standing outside of the football coach’s door.

The film follows the struggles of playing high school football blind. The fear of putting on the helmet for the first time, blocking his ability to hear, problems with some of his teammates, and a friendship with Ray that helps him win his battle. He not only becomes a star defensive guard, he also becomes a vital factor in winning the homecoming game against an undefeated rival.

Michael is honored by the National Football League for being the first and only blind athlete to play on a regular high school football team. Michael goes on to wrestle in college and becomes a member of the Junior Olympic Team, winning a gold medal in the Junior Olympics and taking first place at the World Games in Italy. In 1976 he is named an alternate on the U.S. Olympic Team, and becomes a member in 1980.

In 1986, Michael is badly injured in the gym, fracturing his vertebrate, and is paralyzed from the waist down. He is given a 10% chance to ever regain the use of his legs.

Against all odds, and with motivation from Mark Bonicounti (son of Miami Dolphins Linebacker Nick Bonicounti) who ironically ended up in the bed next to him, Michael once again overcomes his handicap and walks again. PRODUCTION BUDGET

Our production budget has been set at 10 million dollars. There are presently a few big names in the film industry already reviewing our film. Among them are Christopher Cibelli, who has edited numerous major motion pictures and sound man, 7 time Emmy winner, Mace Matiosian.

Additionally, the State of Michigan (where this film is to be shot), offers a 20% rebate program for money spent on a film within the state. If accepted, this money will be available immediately upon completion of production, and should cover the majority of the first 20% investor’s position.

PRELIMINARY REVENUE PROJECTIONS

The following presents the producer’s preliminary revenue projections based on a preliminary 10 million production budget and a 5 million P&A (Handled by the Distributor) budget. The net revenue available for distribution will be allocated based on the formula agreed to between the investors and the owner/producers. If the financing is in the form of just equity, the financing pool will be allocated 50 profit participation points. If these projections are realized, the return to the investors should range from: $17,500,000 if the net revenue was at the “low” level to; $37,500,000 if the net revenue attains the “reasonable” level to; $71,500,000 if the net revenue attains the “high” level.

However, the above returns assume that an agreement is reached with the financing team providing them access to all collateral revenue streams.

PRELIMINARY PRODUCTION BUDGET

A preliminary production budget is presently being formulated.

It will be subject to modification and expenditure decisions about the above- the-line talent and crew. TALENT AND PRODUCTION TEAM
