I remember when all of this started. My brother and I, like many, were feeling isolated, uncertain about the future, and left out of an economy that didn't reflect what we were seeing on the streets

It's a hard truth but we don't live in a world where everyday people have the chance to learn about finances, let alone plan for retirement. Not one city in America can you afford a place to live on minimum wage. Not one.

While we worried, worked, and suffered, the ultra wealthy added trillions to their bank accounts and all we could do was watch. What good is a record breaking economy when we're too overworked and underpaid to enjoy it?

We are living in another gilded age where the systems of wealth creation have become systems of wealth extraction. We are the product.
And then we saw @TheRoaringKitty's yolo post.

It was exciting. It was a novelty. "Holy shit look what this guy's doing" and think like many of you, we decided "fuck it; we're poor anyway" and took a risk. We dropped what we had in what looked like a solid play

We had wanted to get into stocks eventually but it wasn't until this perfect storm of quarantine, technology, stimulus, and TIME that we ended up deciding to give it a go.

We did our research, we read the DD and the more we read, the more we were validated. And then it happened. January. Holy shit. The squeeze was on. I bet all the Jan Apes in here reading this are getting goosebumps thinking about the memory of being RIGHT

The fat cats had their pants down and we had hit it just right.
Of course, we also remember the 28th. We remember the buy button being taken away. We remember watching the ticker for both $AMC and $GME (yeah both, we used to play nice, remember?) PLUMMET

But. We didn't fucking sell. We held. We had done our research and we had been wronged. What they neglected to recognize is that money was SPENT. Retirement or savings is such an abstract luxury to the majority of us that we'd rather wait on a rocket to the moon

That's when we decided to pick up our cameras. That's the moment. We wanted to hit back and this is our best tool.
We believe in the power of cinema to open minds and move people. We believe in all of you.

This has become about more than a short squeeze to us. The real transfer of wealth will come with taking what we've all learned and taking this feeling of EMPOWERMENT with us even after this is over. Pass it down. Share it. Stoke those flames.

The knowledge we've learned and shared over YouTube, reddit, twitter, discord etc. is usually reserved for those in a very specific socio economic pool who have the time and luxury to dedicate.

We want to hit back and hit back HARD with this film. Everyone needs to stay loud, stay skeptical, and most importantly stay open to each other. Remember #apenotfightape? Be Excellent to each other?

We have a large enough task at hand fighting the most powerful and wealthiest people in the world. We must remain open to each other and do our best to foster dialogue and discourse — we cannot fall into the failure that groupthink will bring.

As we push on we promise to you all that we'll stay loud and committed to the truth, whatever that truth may end up being. Whatever happens, we're not fucking leaving.
