  • Thrill Ride

    ‘This Is Not Financial Advice' takes viewers on a thrill-ride into the latest realms of FOMO investing and go-for-broke bets. The film expertly weaves insights and personal stories into a balanced viewpoint across a very engaging narrative that watches more like a thriller than a doc. The heart and soul of the film rests with Pro the Dogecoin Millionaire who's unbridled conviction will frustrate many but ultimately deserves mad respect as he holds true to his word and effortlessly fights off any and all temptation to cash in on the riches. As an investor and EP in this film, I've been attracted to the Optimist team and the project from day one and blown away by the end result. Hope you enjoy it!

    It makes me so anxious watching these wonderful characters take massive risks with their money, but I can’t look away. I’m rooting for them, I’m slapping my forehead and clutching my chair when they make questionable decisions. It’s a rollercoaster but incredibly entertaining, and very well made!!!
