Organization
Parallel Films, LLC, a limited liability company, was formed in 2020 in Texas by Trumpet & Thunder Motion Pictures, LLC, for the primary purpose of producing, marketing, and distributing, the God-focused motion picture titled, “Parallel: Lyric’s Landing,” using leading-edge design practices challenging faith-based film approaches.
We have commitments with named actors from Oscar Award-Winning films and Emmy Award-Winning television, in addition to a seasoned crew with substantial experience in the motion picture film industry ready to go. We have completed the development phase and are mid-way through the pre-production phase. Shooting is scheduled for the film in September, subject to financing. We are knee deep working with one of the top Houston film producers that has been featured in Forbes and Oprah Winfrey magazines.
Our production team has produced over 13 independent films, and TV segments, in addition to participating in a variety of independent films as producers, production management and production support staff.
Mission
Our goal is to produce a motion picture that will entertain, educate, surprise, and refresh the spirit of true independent filmmaking through provocative God-focused storytelling. “Parallel: Lyric’s Landing” will touch the soul, break new ground, educate, and entertain. We will convey an immense amount of experience, expertise, and professionalism into the production of “Parallel: Lyric’s Landing”.
The Project
“Parallel: Lyric’s Landing” is a motion picture budgeted to be produced at $500,000, intended for both theatrical exhibition and digital distribution. Based on the immense rise and popularity of independent, faith-based films (such as “Fireproof” and “To Save A Life” each with $500K budgets), we feel there’s a massive untapped potential for quality God-focused films about action and adventure stories that this demographic is lacking. The Company has committed named actors and other talent in place for roles in the picture, thereby adding to the film’s commercial value and audience appeal.
The Industry
In 2019, the U.S. and worldwide box offices grossed $11.4 billion and $42.2 billion, respectively. Global home entertainment consumer spending reached $58.8 billion, a 14% increase YOY and the global market for theatrical, home, and mobile entertainment surpassed $101 billion, an 8% increase over 2018.
Our Demographic
The strategy of making films in well-established genres has been proven time and again to be a smart and sound choice for production. More than half of Oscar-winning Best Pictures over the last 30 years have been independent films. Parallel: Lyric’s Landing will target primarily faith-based fans, male teens, and young adults, ages 12-39, who spend a collective
$5 Billion+ annually at the box office. According to the MPAA, 12-to 17-year-olds grew from 5M in 2018 to 5.3M last year or +6%. Per capita attendance was highest among the 12-17 (4.9 tickets sold per person) and 18-24-year-old (4.7) age groups in 2019.

Distribution Strategy
The motion picture industry is highly competitive with a significant portion of a film’s success relating to the skills of its marketing strategy. Parallel Films, LLC intends to capitalize on various theatrical and VOD distribution channels, including both submitting the film to the most prestigious and successful annual film festivals, and will use best efforts to negotiate with a distributor upon or near completion of principal photography prior to entering any film festival. This strategy will maximize the Company's bargaining power and increase the potential profit the film may earn.
Investment Opportunity
We seek $500,000 capital to fund our Film Production Budget for “Parallel: Lyric’s Landing.” Parallel Films, LLC proposes to secure these moneys from private investors. Using a medium performance of the comparison films included in our Business Plan, and an assumption of general industry distribution agreements, the Company projects net producer/investor proceeds of $4.17 Million for “Parallel: Lyric’s Landing.”
