When Jupiter Returns, Mahal is more than a feature film: it's the future of filmmaking.

Rainbow Entertainment emerges as an equity-centered and trans-led production company, representing a fresh chapter in the world of entertainment. Our aim is to foster an environment where artists can truly thrive, breaking free from the constraints of the traditional Hollywood system. "When Jupiter Returns, Mahal" serves as the cornerstone of this movement, signaling just the outset of our journey. We envision a New Hollywood, one that champions accessibility, diversity, and equity by empowering BIPOC and queer storytellers in front and behind the camera.

This film, produced under the banner of Rainbow Entertainment and led by Emmy Nominated actress Rain Valdez, is more than a project—it's a catalyst for change. Valdez, a Trailblazer in her own right, has cultivated a vibrant LGBTQ+ community of creators and storytellers, dedicated to revolutionizing how we approach filmmaking. This venture extends beyond a mere movie; it's about creating sustainability in the film industry and ensuring authenticity in storytelling. With 90% of our production team and cast identifying as AAPI, BIPOC, queer and trans, this film represents a watershed moment in the evolution of cinema.

Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will kickstart a Community Film Fund, empowering the next generation of filmmakers to bring forth a treasure trove of untold stories. Your investment, advocacy, and support for this film are the building blocks of an Empire where artists wield influence and visibility on their own terms. This marks the dawn of a new era in cinema, and we're thrilled to have you on this incredible journey with us.

Where Your Money Will Go?

Your generous support will be allocated across three vital categories: production, post-production, and marketing. The lion's share will be dedicated to the production phase, facilitating the acquisition of essential equipment - cameras and gear. This enables us to not only maintain high production values but also fosters employment opportunities within our LGBTQIA community, ensuring fair wages for all performers, crew members, and producers.

Additionally, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment, ensuring everyone is well-fed, hydrated, and cared for during the demanding production process. Following production, our focus will shift towards mastering and delivery, ensuring that we present a top-tier film worthy of submission to prestigious festivals. Your contribution plays a crucial role in making this vision a reality, and we are immensely grateful for your support.
