Dear
Friends,
Welcome to our
'Film Production' plan, which may also be referred as our Kickstarter plan. In here all the
details for our film production are spelled out and regularly updated as more details become available. Funds for our film production will come
from a successful Kickstarter campaign for which the Perantoni family will provide all the necessary backer-rewards, including shipping & mailing, and all related costs. No production work is required from members for their participation in the campaign –
Likewise, there are no fees required from members. Willingness to participate and enthusiasm are all that's required from qualified members who will
be selected for acting roles, full cast and crew for the production of "The War
of Lions" – More info below. Our campaign goal is $5,625.000 of which approx. 10% ($562,500) will remain
with Kickstarter for processing our payments. We've estimated $475,000 for costs associated
with the backer-rewards, taxes and legal services. Thus, the estimated film production fund is $4,587.500 USD. Kickstarter's "all-or-nothing" campaign
rule means that we must reach our $5,625.000 goal in 30-days, or the campaign is dropped altogether. I honestly believe that we can reach far more than the $5,625.000 goal thru a publicity
plan that I will soon present in detail on this page. Our priority is to obtain a team of directors who will manage all aspects of film-production:
Full cast & crew, cinematography, acting, wardrobe, art, soundtrack, etc. The directors
will have our creative lists to facilitate their selections from all who submitted for parts in
"The War of Lions." Experienced film directors who are interested may inquire with us by email for more details. In time we'll need a total price with clear defined full scope-of-services that the
price would provide and responsibilities that would be met. Ultimately, it will take open discussion among
the applicant directors to organize a cohesive film production team. Once the full team, players and crew are formed and legally contracted with us, each participant in "The War of Lions" group will be promoted on Kickstarter with demos, photos, videos,
etc. in order to showcase its members — Then, the campaign can be scheduled.
Sincerely, LINK to our KICKSTARTER PAGE George and Valerie Perantoni 5800 Shasta Drive, Orlando, FL. 32810 L: 407-644-3056 / M: 407-616-6754 PS: As
stated above, neither production work nor fees are required from members who will be selected for
"The War of Lions" cast and crew.
The only requirements from qualified members are their serious interest, their willingness to be
contracted by our legal team, and to provide us with promotional materials showing their abilities,
or company abilities, to be published on Kickstarter and on our websites and elsewhere. Likewise, there are no fees for contracting with our legal team. But, contracting fees from
other legal firms are not paid by us. |

LINK TO VIEW "THE WAR OF LIONS"
KICKSTARTER PAGE Our Kickstarter Page
can be viewed at the above link. It's not active and it will neither require visitor information nor a sign-up/log-in
– It's just an "inactive draft copy" – However, the draft it contains is
very informative about our project to produce a feature film with mini-series. It provides full details about our
project's historical value involving 7 international controversies that had been left hidden since 1945-1946
and it explains how our film's ability to disclose the truth will benefit the 21st-century. HOW
"STAMPS FOR FUNDING" WILL WORK Our project goal of $5,625.000 USD is stated on top of the right column. Beneath
it are listed our methods suited for providing sufficient rewards to the backers who will pledge $5,625.000 USD. Initially
we listed sixteen 16 methods (items A thru P) for various levels of contributions
(pledges). Note that
all 16 methods derive from our unlimited digital resources and printed productions of literary works directly related
to The War of Lions. Please note that reward-items J-K-L-M are also from unlimited resources ... PLUS a few rare stamps were ADDED ... thus becoming limited. We created
the 4 examples mentioned above (items J-K-L-M) by adding 4 categories of stamps with abundant supplies but limited
to 169 J-rewards, 156 K-rewards, 133 L-rewards, and 118 M-rewards. Family has tons more to add
from the collections of our protagonists. For the campaign we will have listed many new backer-rewards at
various pledge levels, sufficient to cover the pledges of sponsors totaling $5,625.000 USD. So then, aside from our initial 16 unlimited sources
(items A thru P) each new backer-reward will include
one of the 16 unlimited items PLUS 1 rare stamp / or 2+more rare stamps / or rare philately
/ or collectible coins / or banknotes / or other items formerly collected by our protagonists. Also, we plan to complement our list of rewards
with items from our film's soundtrack and other memorabilia related to "The War of Lions" film and
its mini-series, including souvenir postcards bearing printed and original autographs of our film's team,
players, and crew. LINK to preview our KICKSTARTER PAGE

TRADING
STAMPS FOR FILM FUNDING We invite you to browse thru
Victor Perantoni's collections of philately and stamps grouped by their nation. Victor Perantoni was one of
yester- year's great collectors. Having been the youngest of our film's six male protagonists, he
was fortunate to have acquired most of the collections that were passed on to him by four of the other five.
The next youngest protagonist was his older brother Luigi who died in 1988. Victor passed away in 2002.
He was the last one to die. (see scrolling epilogue) Note: It will take several months
to post all the collectibles needed for Kickstarter Rewards. Other nations will be added
to the navigation bar and all pages will be utmost filled with collectible items. The contents currently posted on each page represent neither the tip of the iceberg nor
the 'tip of the tip' — MANY more collectible items will be added in order to reward
our Kickstarter backers who will provide funding for our film productions of "The War of Lions" with its four mini-series.

THE
ACTING ROLES OF YOUR IMDb SUBMISSIONS Your
submissions to "The War of Lions" have been very encouraging. Valerie and I enjoyed reviewing each of your submissions and we read each message that many of you have sent. Your submissions made us certain to have reached the talent
needed for the ten casting roles. For that, we're very grateful. Thank you! Likewise,
our appreciation is also extended to actors & actresses who submitted for the same ten roles on our websites or on Facebook. We are grateful to
all of you. Thank you! We noticed that several
actor/actress submissions included qualified film-directors and some had also mentioned interest in helping direct "The War of Lions." Obtaining a cohesive team
of directors is our top priority at this time. Please see the bottom 3 paragraphs directly above my signature
on the top white "dear friends" letter. Interested directors should inquire with us by email,
mention details, ask questions, etc. You
might know that the original 99-page script for our feature-film has transformed into a 90-page pilot for our 5-part TV mini-series. The pilot is followed by four episodes of 45-minutes each, totaling 270-minutes. However, it should also be known that we have even more material to add six more episodes. It
will be discussed with our future directors. Meanwhile, we posted pages 1-180 of the mini-series' script. That is, "The War of Lions" / "Reprisal of Lions" – Parts 1-3 of 5. CLICK HERE.
The above link to pages 1-180 of the script show our protagonists filling the ten roles as described in the IMDb casting call. The next link provides page-numbers to help find protagonist roles in 39 highpoints. (There are several other highpoints, however these 39
suffice the link's purpose.) Notice
that the page numbers are in consecutive order of the script. Thus reading the 39 descriptive titles from top to bottom provides a transect of our story from start to finish. Exceptions are the flashbacks to
year 1929 involving the role of young 18-yr-old Victor (Vittorio).
WHAT WILL PAGES 181-270 BRING? (parts 4+5) SEVEN THOUGHT-PROVOKING CONTROVERSIES. 1)
MUSSOLINI IN POLAND. 2) WAR ON THE SONS OF ITALY. 3) MASSACRED BY COMRADES. 4) THE IMPACT OF MONTE CASSINO. 5) THE DESTRUCTION OF VOLARGNE. 6) THE WORLD'S LEADERS BETRAY POLAND. 7) JOSEPH STALIN STEALS THE WAR'S TROPHY. Seven
remarkable controversies presented in true historical timeline. Not 7 separate
narratives, but 7 dramatic events embracing our story's main theme* from Poland August 1939 to
liberated north Italy 1945-46. *Our story's main theme contains lighter diverting
portions in between the seven historical events with random flashbacks to 1929, joining them into
a single family novel loaded of engaging originality. Pages
181-270 will not be "added" to page 180. Instead, balanced parts of the seven controversies will
be "inserted" amid pages 1-180. Thus,
the page-numbers listed in the 39 highlights will change by adding 90 more pages at points fitting the war's true chronology. The insertions
will be connected with existing dialogue and action of our protagonists. Although the first controversy, Mussolini in Poland, took
place 10 years before WWII, the script will show additional flashbacks in the height of the war in
Italy. The other six controversies will also be placed with the roles of protagonists in
WWII-Italy, currently in the first 180 pages. Controversies
#6+7 describing WWII events taking place in Poland and distressing Polish liberators in Italy, are treated with
shocking dialogue and devastating action among protagonists in Italy. Massacres that took place in Lwów
and elsewhere in Europe (controversy #3) are treated with crushing distress among Italian protagonists and survivor
friends in Italy. Protagonist
roles during WWII events are complemented with voice-over narration by Victor, short newsreels, and images
of vintage publications.

THE CENTRAL THEME IN "THE WAR OF LIONS" Stamp-collecting is part of our story’s theme, but only as the bond that unites the
protagonists. Overall, our story's main theme treats their war- time experiences. It's fair to say that before WWII stamp-collecting had been more popular than
video games are today. Stamp-collecting fits in the social fabric of true historical stories of the period.The central theme in "The War of Lions" unveils
obscured accounts from WWII that today's audiences are largely unaware. Our story achieves this through
the experiences of Victor's Italian family and their Polish friends. Their wartime experiences had
been related several times by the same protagonists, during and after the war. The chronology that "The War of Lions" narrates had been described by Victor – and in similar ways by the others too – as the 'Heartbeat of WWII' i.e., the source
that in August 1939 had given essence to the war's start, and then pumped its lifeblood constantly for 6-years, first
in Poland, and then continuously until the war's last day, 29 April 1945 ... in north Italy. All along, the Polish people had suffered thru every single pulse
of the war’s miserable 'heartbeat' – during which over 6 million did not survive. It's the true history
of WWII ... but it had been obscured and marginalized by Joseph Stalin during the final 12 months
of the war. It's the truth that Stalin persistently endeavored to
suppress, for in his mind the war must not have ended leaving the truth exposed ... i.e., Heroic Polish Soldiers!

THE DOMINANT THEME OF OUR STORY Motivated by brilliant insanity, Joseph Stalin accomplished his goal thru CRIMES, SCHEMES and MANIPULATIONS from May 1944 to May 1945. He was a skillful
negotiator and crafty manipulator. Using 'Machiavellian' talent Stalin robbed the glory of Poland's Armed
Forces and he crowned himself with it. Moreover, he took their beloved nation as his war trophy
and he declared all former members of the Polish military services to be "Enemies of the Polish State." Thus,
Stalin separated Poland's victorious epic warriors from their beloved families and homes – transforming
them into a global crowd of homeless exiles! In
a nutshell, that's the HIDDEN TRUTH about WWII. The OBSCURED and SUPPRESSED and CENSORED TRUTH about
the actual conquerors who defeated Nazi-Fascism and brought down the Third Reich ... to its death. But, Joseph Stalin eclipsed the truth. He blocked it out with sly darkness. Then, to prevent any resurgence of it after the war, the Bolshevik tyrant buried it hidden
behind an iron curtain. Joseph Stalin is the top villain of the 20th century. He accumulated sins against humankind that reached the height of Heaven – where
he defied even God by separating well over 100,000 military husbands from their wives in Soviet captivity. The world’s reality had been shaped by Stalin since 1920, ever
since the end of WW1, as it still is even today.
Then, in August 1939 he achieved a conspiracy with Adolf Hitler that would defy world history. Both
villains re-opened the former "Great War" for their own vengeful satisfactions. Hitler in
the Compiègne forest — and Stalin in the Katyn forest. Both villains satiated their lust for revenge in 1940, but with enormous price tags and
huge yearly increases over the following five years. It cost Adolf Hitler his total defeat in 1945 — and Stalin paid with more than 24 million
sons and daughters of Mother Russia.

OUR FILM
BUYS BACK THE TRUTH ABOUT WWII Stalin
had laboriously modified and minimized the truth about WWII and today it's at risk of
being lost forever from historical memory. For that reason Victor's family is inspired to dedicate the remaining
items from our protagonists' collections to reward Kickstarter’s campaign backers. Hence, the beloved collectibles that our protagonists treasured
all their lives will be used to restore the rightful victory that Joseph Stalin denied to Poland's Armed Forces for the complete defeat of Nazi-Fascism,
thus having ended WWII ten-days in advance of the Soviet claim of victory. Also,
to bestow international recognition of the infamous betrayal that Stalin had manipulated by stripping
away the upright sovereign identity of Poland, the nation that Carlo, Padre, Andre, Franki, Luigi,
and Victor had loved and cherished even more than their stamps. Our film will present Poland’s valiant heroes of the eastern borderlands who
together with others in the east had bonded into an invincible force of Lwowian warriors – the avenging 'Lions' who struck fear in the hearts of beleaguered, guilty Wehrmacht troops – thus defeating Nazi-Fascism. But, only to be betrayed in the height of their victory, for they embodied the truth that Joseph Stalin had resolved
to bury. Although the
truth was buried hidden behind the iron curtain, Poland's patriot warriors who were scattered all
over the globe, had safeguarded it for over three generations. Also, their loyal compatriots who endured 50-years of tyrannical Soviet captivity, did the same. The stamps, coins, philately, and other items collected by our film’s protagonists will pay-in-kind
to expose the truth about WWII that the Polish nation had suffered for, and millions had died … to witness.
