Revenue Brainstorm

Objective: Generate Revenue

Every year I submit a P&L to the IRS and it's all L and no P. Wonder Unit needs to make an earnest effort to generate revenue.

The objective was to generate revenue exclusively off produced movies, and develop and release tools for free for the community. It is taking longer than expected to produce movie(s).

I would like to keep the software tools mostly free, as in, an individual can absolutely make a complete project without having to pay anything.
