Our Next Chapter Starts Now #HeroesUnitingWorldwide

Heroes!

Our cinematic universe just got even more REAL. As you know, ReelwUrld is the production studio that powers the Justice For Hire cinematic universe and app. Starting October 29, ReelwUrld will begin an equity crowdfunding campaign (meaning you can invest anywhere from $100 to infinity to own a piece of the company) on WeFunder to expand not only JFH, but build out even more cinematic universes.

The future of filmmaking is YOU, and that’s why allowing anyone to own a part of ReelwUrld (and thus, JFH) is such a key element of our mission to truly make movies and shows with the world. Take a look at our crowdfunding campaign page on WeFunder and please consider vouching for us. We’ll be updating this page regularly, offering perks to early investors before we go public, and more. You can follow our progress by pressing the heart button.

Now, let all that exciting news settle in while you check out three amazing things we’re doing for New York Comic Con weekend:

  • We’ve released the uncut edition of our “Your Cinematic Universe” panel we did for New York Comic Con last year. The panel, all about the history and future of audience participation in storytelling, features the world’s leading transmedia producer Jeff Gomez, iconic “Star Wars” actor Ahmed Best, former Spider-Man comics Editor-in-Chief Danny Fingeroth, LARP pioneer Aaron Vanek, former Newsweek journalist/ReelwUrld cofounder Autumn Noel Kelly, ReelwUrld Founder Jan Lucanus, DJ’d by the glorious cyberpunk band, Angelspit.





  • Jan will be on TheDojo.com podcast talking about the future of Tai Chi, how it ties into his life as an entrepreneur and creator, and more on Monday at 8pm EST / 5pm PST,


As usual, thank you for the continued love and support. The volume on this journey is about to turn way up!

Note: ReelwUrld is testing the waters to evaluate investor interest. No money or other consideration is being solicited; if sent, it will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities will be accepted. No part of the purchase price will be received until a Form C is filed and, then, only through Wefunder. Any indication of interest has no obligation or commitment of any kind.


Enter the Action Scene Competition + Jan Gets Hit in the Face

Heroes (and Villains)!


Huge opportunity: You can now enter the JFH Action Scene Competition sponsored by WarnerMedia’s Urban Action Showcase. All scenes submitted to the JFH app will be featured at the Urban Action Showcase from November 12-20. All creators will also be featured on the JFH Panel on November 20 alongside film and TV industry executives, stunt professionals, and martial arts masters.


YOU LIKE BOLD? That’s what this is. We bring events like this to our community because that’s what we’re all about. We’re producing a show and building a cinematic universe TOGETHER so we elevate together!


Watch the announcement video below to see Jan get hit in the face 5+ times, as well as scenes we recreated from Colombiana, The Raid, and Rocky as examples.


To participate, create an action scene inspired by one of the films having an anniversary this year:

Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury Zatoichi and The One Armed Swordsman Master of the Flying Guillotine Enter the Ninja Big Trouble in Little China The Delta Force Operation Condor Fist of the North Star Double Impact Out for Justice Once Upon a time in China Set it Off Exit Wounds The Raid Haywire Shaft New Jack City Boyz N the Hood Training Day Pooty Tang Colombiana Rocky Raiders of the Lost Ark Escape from NY The Last Boy Scout The Long Kiss Goodnight Mission Impossible Tomb Raider Ghost of Mars Swordfish Green Hornet Expect Audience Choice Awards, as well as giveaways, including Blu-rays and HBO swag. Head over to the JFH app to get started. The deadline is October 15. We can’t wait to see what you create.

Action-Packed (Literally) Hero Meetup XXI on Saturday

Heroes!


The next JFH Hero Meetup is going down this weekend! Come hyped and ready to compete in our next action competition. You heard that right. The Superhero Kung Fu Extravaganza Challenge was such a success that we’re having another action competition in partnership with WarnerMedia’s Urban Action Showcase in October!


We’ll go over all of the action films being honored at this year’s Urban Action Showcase that you can use as inspirations for your scenes— from The Raid to Raiders of the Lost Ark to Tomb Raider, to non-raiding classics like Bruce Lee’s Fist of Fury or the less classic Green Hornet (the one with no Bruce Lee), and more—at the Hero Meetup.


Be thoughtful in your execution, because you may get the opportunity to have your scene screened on the panel and judged by a group of esteemed martial artists and filmmakers. We’ll go over the requirements for the scene and talk about techniques to make your video the best it can be at Saturday’s Hero Meetup.


Set a reminder: Saturday, September 18 at 2pm EST. Come inspired and ready to participate. RSVP here. If you’re new to the JFH community or thinking of joining, this meetup is the perfect jumping on point. If you’re already part of the movement, you’ll be happy to see what’s coming next for us.



P.S. Check out Jan’s episode of the What Are You Watching? podcast with Chris Mancini. He talks about how crowdsourced cinematic universes like JFH are the future of filmmaking.
