The Great Collective on Mars has been working tirelessly, night and day, building our dream one brick at a time. We are marching forward, hand in hand, into the future.

At the same time, the world around us is changing. Indie hits such as Iron Lung, The Backrooms, and Obsession have shown that films built around strong audience followings, online communities, and direct fan momentum are becoming the next logical step for the film industry — and the results speak for themselves. With a reported $10 million budget, The Backrooms box-office stands around $250 million; Iron Lung, made for $5 million, generated $50 million; and Obsession, made for under $1 million, box-office over $350 million, and counting.

The Extended Founders’ Round continues the Deep Red Pre-Round, during which we raised €165,000 from investors in 19 countries to kickstart the production. The Collective Effort is already bearing glorious fruit: we have taken major steps in building the promo, creating the Bible that defines the world of Deep Red, and developing the scripts for all three films.

Now, we are opening the next stage of funding — and offering a chance to join Deep Red at an early phase, with benefits that will not be available in later rounds.

By joining now, with investments starting from €2,000, you will secure a Producer title in every film of the trilogy, Deep Red Tokens at a 50% reduced price (0,5€/token), and early repayment of your investment. Once we have raised 50% of the main funding target, your investment will be repaid — but you will keep the tokens, which secure your revenue share from the profits of the trilogy.

The purpose of this round is clear: to finalize our promo, complete the Deep Red Trilogy Bible, and write the scripts for all three films — the essential weapons we need to greenlight the full production.

Join the Extended Founders’ Round today, and become a producer in the greatest science fiction trilogy in the world. Head over to www.deepredfilm.com/invest

We've also opened the Deep Red Store with our first fan merchandise, and we're excited (and admittedly a little nervous) to see how people respond.

More fan perks—and a few things we've never seen anyone else try before—are on the way. More about those in the coming weeks.

And request the White Paper, which sums up the offering!

On Mars, history is not written by those who wait.
It is written by those who act.

_{You’re receiving this email because, many moons ago, many of you supported Iron Sky — a film about Nazis on the Dark Side of the Moon. Today, we’re working on a new science-fiction trilogy called DEEP RED. This time, it’s about Communists on Mars. The setting has changed, the scale has grown, but the spirit of bold, satirical sci-fi storytelling continues.}
