Scaling production and diversified distribution of real‑life documentary content through an owner‑controlled, decentralized media platform.

• Decentralized Distribution: Broadcasts via multiple platforms to prevent deplatforming of content.
• Proven Production Model: Efficiently creates proof‑of‑concept episodes that expand into full‑length series.
• Participatory Engagement: “You Make the Story” model invites viewers to contribute and shape content.
• Multiple Revenue Streams: Monetizes through advertiser placements, merchandise, NFTs, and distribution deals.
• Platform Control: Owns channels on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV with plans for DirecTV expansion.

American Stories Entertainment is raising funds to expand its production and distribution of authentic, uplifting documentary-style programming that tells the unique stories of real people across hunting, fishing, sports, small business, and survival themes. By maintaining control over content creation and employing a decentralized media distribution model—spanning YouTube, Rumble, RecoilTV, and proprietary channels on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV—ASE ensures its programming reaches diverse audiences without risk of deplatforming. The company’s efficient production approach delivers quality content with lean budgets, enabling repeated seasons of proven series and quick adaptation based on viewer and advertiser feedback.

Proceeds will support the launch of new limited-run series and the expansion of proof‑of‑concept episodes into full-length shows, as well as investment in additional distribution assets—including a direct channel on DirecTV. Funds will also drive growth of ASE’s “You Make the Story” participatory model, merchandise and NFT initiatives, and product placement partnerships that generate revenue at multiple touchpoints. This capital infusion will accelerate ASE’s mission of building a resilient, multifaceted entertainment platform that uplifts viewers and secures free‑speech–protected content channels.
