Your OP says
"From development to post production, you will have the ability to vote and decide on key film elements such as director, storyline, cast, etc."
This almost certainly gaurantees a cluster fuck process, I'll give you one example out of many that come to mind; if token holders vote on key elements like director, storyline and cast, that implies a range of candidates in each area will consent to having a public process where all necessary offers, counter offers, conditionals etc are made public, so the token holders can make a decision on who to vote for. Do you really think professional recruitment can work like that, without NDA's and confidentiality?
What you are proposing is a reality tv style recruitment process, where amateurs with nothing to lose offer themselves up for Movie Idol, and the token holders vote candidates off the 'tribe'. Now, that might make the 'recruitment' process a potential reality tv show, but the Movie it makes will be complete dog shit.
Small time Movie deals go like this. Someone writes a good script, it gets past around, sometimes for years, until some 'money' gets behind it. Then a BIG name signs on, then the script, money, and big name attract more money and other Big names. Then, depending on the Big names there might be script rewrites. Once the ball starts rolling the initial investors don't have any say at all, the big name actors, directors, producers, cinematographers etc do. Usually the original writer gets blown off and has little say in the finished product.
Movie making deals are messy, secretive, top down and hierarchical, it can't be turned into a democratic process, too many conditionals, 'I'll be in your movie if X is the director, but not Y, unless Z is the co-star, in which case I MUST have P doing rewrites on the sex scene'

Thank you for your great response!
What you say is most certainly correct and would indeed result in a total production disaster from start to finish, making it unimaginable to deliver a film worth watching. That being said, it would be most appreciated if you could take a look at the white paper (released today) and let us know your thoughts.
I can't fathom how you can raise that amount of btc in your stage 1 and the justification of how you will spend it is not that clear. How much more in stage 2.
As boomboom briefly stated what are the usual practices in the movie industry, it would be very hard to realize this project. The whitepaper is just a brief description & detailed plans are not yet laid out. This will be a project that will take 48 years in the making and a lot of actors that are initially cast will be dead tired of waiting, hence, leaving this project. In this regard, this one is not attractive at all to investors.
