About The Movie Version
What is The Movie Version?
A studio that rebuilds a beloved story as something you can be part of. Pretty Woman is the first offering — told again by the people who love it, across eight surfaces at once. You can audition for it, own a piece of it, or pull up a seat for a dollar. The three positions are the product.
Why “The Movie Version”?
Every beloved story has had a version told before. Cinderella told it. Pretty Woman told it again. Ours is the version we build together — with the artists who should have been cast, the songs that should have been on the soundtrack, and the audience that helps decide what the picture becomes.
Is this affiliated with the 1990 film?
No. The Movie Version is new work built on a story older than the film — Cinderella, and a hundred tellings before and since. We build on the lineage; we don’t reproduce the film. The characters at the keystone of our universe are our own and owned by us.
Who’s behind it?
Built and owned by the founding team — partners across music, stage, the page, and the live show. We make it, we own it, we run it.
What’s Malik Yusef’s role?
Malik Yusef is our Ambassador — the cosign, not the company. We brought him in for the ear and the years in the game, and he pulls up with the Bad Kids Klass: a pool of artists to build with, who come up as the work comes up.
The three positions
What are the three ways in?
Actor — you audition. Voyeur — you take the inside seat. Investor — you own a share. The same person can be any one of them, or all three. None requires the others.
What does each one cost?
Audition is $10 per submission. The inside seat is $1 a month. A share is $10. Ten, one, ten.
What’s the inside seat?
A dollar a month — the main door in. A members-only community that walks you through every project, past, present, and coming, and lets you see what we’re casting for before anyone else. Bad Kids Klass members are already in.
For artists
How do I audition?
Through awwditions.com. One audition is considered across every Movie Version we cast.
Who can audition?
Dancers, singers, rappers, poets, screenwriters, graphic designers, actors, instrumentalists, voice talent, and more. Voice alone isn’t the audition; neither is talent alone. Bring the thing you do best and match it to a role.
What do I submit, and what rights does it cover?
Vocals, choreography, or a portfolio, depending on the role. By auditioning you agree we can use your name, image, and likeness for a limited scope of marketing — limited, to protect you and us (not a full campaign).
Does the audition get me into the show?
Yes — it’s a two-for-one. Your $10 audition is also your ticket to the show, and a swipe to come back for the next one.
What’s the $10 audition fee for?
It funds the listening — every submission gets heard. Bad Kids Klass members audition for $1.
What if I’m not cast?
You’re held over for the next show. Your audition stays in the pool — we come back when something fits.
Can I use AI tools in my submission?
We care about what comes out of the speakers. The model is who shows up to deliver in the room — that part has to be you. Submit only what’s yours; nothing that infringes someone else’s copyright.
How do I get paid if I’m cast?
At the going rate for the role — on a compilation, in the musical, in the live destination. Rates, schedules, and splits are spelled out per role before you sign anything. We select you for your greatness, not your fame.
For owners
What does owning a share mean?
Four hundred shares per compilation, with forty percent opened up. You own a piece of the record — and the album is yours, free.
How does the music pay artists?
Eighty percent of the publishing goes to the artists, twenty to the company. The people who make it keep most of it.
Can I just buy the music?
Yes — a dollar a song, a dollar an album. Eighty percent of the publishing goes to the artists. The buy opens when the first compilation ships.
Is this an investment or an offer of securities?
No. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Any formal terms are shared directly with people who fit the structure, through the proper documents.
The offering & the universe
What are the eight surfaces?
The Compilations, The Musical, The Poetry Ov, The Book, The Movie Version Podcast, The Movie Version Documentary, The Greenest Tour, and The Set, Recreated. One story, eight ways in — all running at the same time.
What’s the live destination?
One physical destination: the set from the story, rebuilt. You walk in, eat on the stage in character with the cast, and leave with the compilation. Simulcast to any city we can put a stake in the ground in.
What’s the Greenest Tour?
No tour bus, low carbon footprint. Regional bands play the compilations live in their own cities — the local musician, in their local venue. Any city, any night.
Who’s the keystone character?
An original character we own outright — fully invented, living inside the story-world, carrying the universe forward after Pretty Woman ends. Her arc runs through the memoir, the podcast, the documentary, the next film, and the tour.
When does it happen?
Casting is now. Releases come as the cast comes together, and the live destination opens after that. Take the inside seat for the dates as they’re set.
