Grey Eagle Films Officially Launches Production Raise Fund
For information on how you can participate in our fundraising, contact Jonathan R. Adler, CEO here | Phone: 301-252-0069
Grey Eagle Films is seeking equity for production of up to 4 film projects adapted from the acclaimed, bestselling author Warren Adler, well-known for the enduring classic turned Blockbuster hit “The War of the Roses,” which has been a phenomenon as a novel, movie and worldwide play for almost forty years.
Grey Eagle Films has exclusive rights to all 53 Adler novels and 100 plus short stories with eleven projects currently in development: seven films and four television series. Our plan is to begin producing up to four “lower budget” independent films utilizing funds from this Grey Eagle Films production raise with emphasis on an eventual pivot to “TV”, if the opportunity for a successful digital partnership arises.
Led by an established worldwide brand and streaming platform opportunities, we are able to greatly reduce risk with a diverse slate of projects while still swinging for the fences.
We believe that our unique stories will open up new areas of opportunity in the content-starved, worldwide entertainment business. Our research has shown that unsuccessful film production raises are loaded with overhead, frivolous expenditures and unsustainable promises, but our Grey Eagle Production raise has no corporate fixed salaries or overhead and no wasteful expenses.
Lastly, Grey Eagle Production Fund Investors will have an opportunity to experience the filmmaking process firsthand, whether it’s attending a glamorous opening and/or film festival/market events, visiting production sets, meeting cast members, talking with our team about our marketing strategy or just bragging rights.
You can explore our projects below.

The Children of the Roses
“This much should surely be said about The War of the Roses: it promises to take the gloves off, and it delivers.” –The New York Times Film Review
“The War of the Roses becomes a deliriously mean-spirited free-for-all in which nothing – not the pets, not the shoes, not the cars and certainly not the principals themselves – is sacred.” –The New York Times Film Review
The hilarious and disturbing sequel to the original blockbuster hit and iconic tale about the perils of marriage, divorce and the destructive power of materialism, The War of the Roses. The Children of the Roses is a wickedly dark satire targeting a world of entitlement, over-zealous parents, adults clinging to their youth and the continued effect of divorce on children and their children. It asks the question: are the children of the Roses doomed to repeat the chandelier-shattering legacy of their parents?
