<u>Description of Business</u>

<u>Theatrical Distribution, page 46</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Please revise your description of your business to describe that you fund the P&A (prints and advertising) marketing for individual film projects by creating subsidiaries and raising funds through the sale of Series A Preferred Stock issued by your subsidiaries. Explain that when a subsidiary's Board of Directors determines that it has sufficient funds available, the subsidiary will use revenue generated by its exploitation of the film to redeem the preferred stock. In your Use of Proceeds discussion, explain how this form of financing impacts your business and differentiate the use of proceeds from those offerings with this offering, and differentiate the nature of the holders and rights available to your various classes of common and preferred stock. Confirm that offering proceeds will not be commingled, each issuers' assets are and will remain separate, and an investment in this offering is inherently different, in terms of dividends, appreciation and reporting, from an investment in your subsidiary's offerings..

|:---|:---|
| **<u>Response</u>**: | See the updated Use of Proceeds section on page 43 and the new section "Description of Business – Our Product and/or Services – P&A Subsidiaries," beginning on page 48. However, to avoid any confusion from including in the Use of Proceeds section descriptions of the use of proceeds from offerings conducted by the Company's subsidiaries, most of the additional information regarding the differences between the Company and its subsidiaries is in the Description of Business section. A cross-reference to the Description of Business section is provided in the updated Use of Proceeds section. |

<u>Bitcoin Treasury Strategy and Holdings, page 49</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. We note your description of your bitcoin treasury strategy.

<u>Proposed Business Combination, page 50</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.
