Lucasfilms Unlimited:
Sunset was falling on the beach as you watched the night slowly begin, and the world seemed to slow from the great problems for the evening. Yet at the table for George Lucas and You, he was not exactly taking the proclamation well. "You want to what?"
"I thought I was pretty clear George, Hollywood hates us, so in the wisdom grown from the experience of getting screwed over… George, I'm going, honestly, I wanna burn it down." Your proclamation was something that was almost childish in its execution yet George, out of all people, understood.
And that was something that you totally believed, frightened him more than anything. George was not so… intense, however. "Bruce, what does that have to do with the founding... whatever this is? What the hell this even is?"
"It has everything to do with it, George." You stated as you looked at him. "We've worked too hard to have all our lives ambitions to be thrown away by some suits who only look at the money. When making Art, you can't just look at the dollar sign. All it leads to is unartistic work, with ideas that don't inspire, but to just drudge along."
"And just, trying to be a direct competitor… being someone who is actively competing, rather than just… working for them?" George seemed to be thinking, his ideas whirling in his head. "I… It sounds insane."
"Nothing worthwhile is ever considered sane by those who have tried. Think About American Graffiti and THX, and think about there being nothing but trouble."
George remembered. "But that-"
"Was different?" You asked.
Silence greeted you and you could see the gears turning in his face. "We're going to need money."
"We can get money." You replied. "Not a lot, but I'm sure Gary and Steve and Francis might get involved. And I can think about maybe bringing in some of Debbies people… and Clint."
"But then we would have to sacrifice… what?" He then sat down against the wall. "We'll just be another machine cogging out movies."
"But they will be our movies." You replied.
George then chuckled. "Our movies…" He then offered a hand. "I get first shot at it though."
"Glad you're on board." You stated.
What do you call this new Experiment and company:
[]Lucasfilm Unlimited (George's Idea, and considering it was the existing company… wouldn't take much to rebrand)

--------------------------------------------------
Choose three
What are you going to do to make it stand out. As well as attract investors, actors, directors… and others who want to see what these kids can do?:
[]A New Distribution Company: Whatever this place was, it was going to try and shake up Hollywood, by doing one thing that hasn't happened, successfully, in decades. Distribute their own movies. And that was something that everyone in Hollywood laughs at because they had no money, no talent, and nothing to help them start it. (Begins a Distribution division of the company, in charge of making sure the films are distributed across the country, and the world. To start one would require an intense investment in resources, but it would also see actors and crew getting more cut of the profits, and if successful, also controlling several different assets that would either be sold off or forgotten about. Will Also show you the quality of the film itself before release.)
[]Marketing Division: You want to make sure that all the films this produces, will be something that is near impossible to miss. Everyone will want to see them. And it will be without question, incredible. (Begin a Marketing Division, something that will increase audience reaction, and make the film more money… possibly)
[]A TV Division: George isn't in the business of TV. Luckily, some people like to make high-quality Television, and will gladly accept an untested company, for more creative freedom. At least the Ed Wood Types will. (Start a TV Division that will allow you to make fictional pitches into TV shows. and Increases their quality by +20, on all rolls, except for SP)
[]The House Of Ideas: For far too long the student filmmakers and the young actors are being subjected to what can only be described as Agism. Hollywood isn't taking risks anymore when making their films. And you want to change that. So let's start Green lighting projects that were ignored or told off. And let's see just how much money they missed out on. (All fictional pitches will automatically be given a Screenplay score of 50 and developing them further will include heavy bonuses)
[]Special Effects Company: George, has been having an idea for a while. Something was ahead of its time, and something he noticed a lot. Where were the special effects? Where were the illusions that made the film so popular, look shooting a bullet at the moon made of cheese, or the illusionary start of trying to create something that is impossible? Most special effects companies in Hollywood wouldn't have the funds or the means to try what he wants to do… So, he wants to make his own. (George wants to create a special effects company/ Division, he calls it Industrial Lights and Magic. Add the VFX, and Special Effects Rolls to all productions under this banner, and gain a +20 to all their rolls.) (George really wants this)
[]Animation Department: George does not understand your love for cartoons. Though he does see them as legitimate and cool, he also has only seen the ones made by Hanna Barbara. And he really hasn't like them that much. What he should see, is the old classics that changed the world. (Begin an animation department and can start bringing in a stable to make some crazy cool animated stuff. Any Animated Film made by this one, once fully staffed... will gain a +20 to all their rolls.)

AN: Alright, listen up, there is a Moratorium on this vote for 12 hours. The reason being...
I wanted there to be more, but I've only come up with a few, that are broken and very powerful.
But I'm giving you all plenty of time to get going and make your own. Because they will all have equally as powerful bonuses at least.
Plan format please.
