Be Part of the Story
Micronation is an award-winning romantic comedy now entering full production—and we’re inviting you to be part of the journey. Our fundraising goal is $125,000 by April 1, 2026, and every contribution brings us closer to making this story a reality.​
About the Film
When the government tries to take Farmer Sam Shoemaker’s land to build an interstate, he decides it’s time to secede from the USA and start his own Micronation in order to save his home. Along the way, he makes some unlikely friends and possibly learns to let go of the past and love again.​
​
Filming is scheduled for the two weeks following Memorial Day 2026, with production centered in Indiana—providing jobs and opportunities for local talent and crew while bringing in recognizable actors for key roles.
Local Talent Meets Hollywood Star Power
Micronation is proud to showcase the incredible talent of local Indiana actors and crew, shining a spotlight on the creativity and dedication found right here in the Hoosier State. At the same time, we’re strategically bringing in a few recognizable Hollywood names for key roles and cameos. These familiar faces not only elevate the film’s profile and production value, but also help open doors to wider distribution and marketing opportunities. By blending homegrown talent with star power, Micronation becomes both a community-driven project and a film with national—and even international—appeal.

Return on Your Investment
Investing in Micronation isn’t just about supporting independent film—it’s about sharing in the rewards. Our investment waterfall ensures that investors receive proportional returns based on the film’s gross. Here are two examples:
​​
-
$10,000 Investment: If the film grosses $1M, you receive a $6,500 total return (Yes, that does mean you don't completely recoup your $10k investment, but you will have made some of it back. If we make more than $1M, then you have the potential to make more.)
-
$125,000 Investment: If the film grosses $1M, you receive a $402,500 total return
See full waterfall breakdown below.

Your investment not only positions you for financial gain but also directly supports Indiana’s creative economy, generating jobs and boosting local businesses.
Important! Film Investment is High-Risk
Investing in an independent film is inherently a high-risk venture with no guarantee of recouping the initial investment or turning a profit. While we are committed to producing a high-quality film and being responsible stewards of your financial support, the unpredictable nature of the film industry means returns are never assured. That said, we will dedicate ourselves to every aspect of the process—from crafting a compelling, marketable film to implementing a strategic sales and distribution plan—to maximize the potential for success. Your investment will be met with our full effort and professionalism to give this project the best possible chance in the market.
