Max Adventure!!!

Hi, my name is Phil Fitzlaff. I have worked for the past four years as a family and child counselor, but before that I worked in the entertainment industry. I have a Bachelors Degree in Human Services Management and a Masters in Business Administration. 
Because I grew up in an abusive home, my desire is to introduce fantasy based, family friendly entertainment in the form of animated programming to help educate parents and children in coping with behavioral and emotional situations.
This type of entertainment was popular in the 1980s with shows such as He-Man, Fat Albert, G.I Joe, and Thundercats. In doing so, we will be providing a community service and offering parents and children a way to learn about the pains of growing up and how to deal the the pressures. 

And My Money is Going Where?Okay, so I know it seems like I'm asking for a lot. The reality is, I'm really not. Creating a weekly televised animated show is extremely tough to do by myself, so I need a team, the space, and the equipment. Right now I'm operating out of my home, but to be able to keep up with what the networks and distributors want, I have to be able to deliver the show in a timely manner; so I need help. These funds will be going towards the following:

• Payroll
• Building Lease
• Equipment Purchase
• Legal
• Marketing and P.R   

Why is this so ImportantWhen I was growing up, one of the few things that helped me along were shows like He-Man and Thundercats. Parents would think that these were just simple cartoons when in fact, there were psychologists who worked on these shows to assure the teachings were proper. Somewhere along the lines, moral lessons stopped being taught in children's programming. In addition, kids ages 8 to 16 are becoming increasingly hooked on violent video games. This is something that I see on a regular basis with my clients and I feel that I need to play my part in offering balance and alternatives.

Why RocketHub
Frankly, I don't know where else to go. Angel Investors and Venture Capitalists usually want an extremely large share (65% or more) of the business plus a large percentage of whatever we make. On top of that, they usually won't fund someone until you can show that you've already made a profit. They don't invest in dreams, they invest to make money.   

Banks are in no way an option because if they'll even consider your project, you need to provide collateral and then you're in debt to them. I don't own anything that's worth this amount; not even my home!

Small Business Loans are almost as difficult to get as a bank business loan. The SBA doesn't provide the loan, they just tell the banks that you're good for it.

Max Adventure is made for people by people who believe in improving the human condition and spirit of all ages. Therefor, I feel it's a community project and not a business investment. Investors don't usually care about the mental conditions of our kids; we do, and we know that there are folks out there who do as well. That's why we are here on RocketHub. 

So What Do I Get in Return?Everyone will receive something for helping us out. You could receive a special thanks credit in the series, appear in an episode, spend the day with us at the studio, or spend an entire week in Las Vegas as our guests and split your time between hanging out with us and visiting our city!
