Angelic Pictures Announces:

While Hollywood Chases Trends, We’re Building the Future…!

A few weeks ago, I announced Angelica “Lady-Otin” Sirotin as my protégé and successor-in-training.

Some of you asked: “Why her?”

This is why.

WHAT SHE’S BEEN BUILDING

While most producers scramble to find product placement partners after their scripts are written, Angelica spent the last five months building something different:

Sirotin Intelligence – the fastest-growing private space intelligence community on LinkedIn. 

• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sirotin-intelligence/?viewAsMember=true
• Website: https://www.sirotinintelligence.com/

What it is:
An exclusive network of space technology experts, innovators and entrepreneurs, and defense strategists that span Space Force, NATO, DoW, NASA, DARPA, LANL, AFRL, and more, who provide critical insights on space that are then analyzed, packaged, and distributed via engaging interviews on a weekly basis by Angelica Sirotin.

A glimpse of who’s in it:

• Former DARPA Program Managers
• Military personnel
• Space Force leadership (Including Dr. Joel Mozer, The First Chief Scientist and co-creator of US Space Force)
• NASA veterans
• Space company founders / entrepreneurs
• Strategic Defense Initiative veterans (Ambassador Hank Cooper, who served under George H.W. Bush and Reagan’s Deputy Negotiator for Defense and Arms, arms reduction negotiations in Geneva)
• Legacy aerospace experts (Jess Sponable, who headed the DC-X program that enabled SpaceX’s Falcon 9 vertical landing technology)
• Mike Simmons (50 years leading astronomy programs) who called it “the best interview I’ve ever done”

And many, many more… 

Why it matters:

She didn’t build a marketing list. She built trust with the exact people who make decisions about partnerships in the space industry.

THE STRATEGIC PATIENCE PLAY

Most people chase quick wins. Angelica plays the long game.

The problem she saw:

Product placement outreach to space companies was hitting walls. Cold emails went unanswered. Brands were skittish post-COVID. Nobody wants to talk to someone they don’t know.

Her solution:

Don’t ask for anything. Provide value first.

She interviewed top experts. Published high-value analysis. Built credibility. Let them come to her.

The result:

When we’re ready to approach these companies for Space Samurai product placement, we’re not cold-calling strangers. We’re reaching out to partners who already trust us.

That’s not luck. That’s strategy.

WHY THIS MATTERS FOR SPACE SAMURAI

Space Samurai: Oasis is set in 2063 on a luxury space resort. The brands we feature need to be credible in that context.

Before Sirotin Intelligence:

We’d pitch space companies hoping they’d take us seriously.

After Sirotin Intelligence:

Space companies already see us as serious players in their industry.

The difference?

Through Sirotin Intelligence, we’re connected with:

• The first commercial company to successfully land on the moon (FireFly Aerospace)
• Hypersonic flight technology pioneers developing next-generation propulsion
• Companies building orbital space planes for rapid global transportation
• Military space advisors and leadership
• Defense contractors and DARPA connections
• Aerospace pioneers who developed the vertical landing technology that revolutionized reusable rockets

And more… 

This isn’t just about product placement. It’s about authenticity.

When Space Samurai depicts space technology, it’ll be informed by people who actually build rockets, design defense systems, and shape space policy.

That credibility translates to box office.

THE “SHOW, DON’T TELL” APPROACH

Angelica could have told Mark six months ago: “I’m going to build a space industry network.”

Instead, she built it first, then showed the results.

That’s the difference between talk and execution.

What she showed:

• Fastest-growing private space intel community on LinkedIn… and soon to be the internet (5 months)
• Trusted relationships with decision-makers at NASA veterans, former DARPA PMs, Space Force, and NewSpace Pioneers
• A platform that provides value to them (so they want to help us)
• Strategic positioning for every sci-fi and space-themed project we’ll ever make
• Recognition from industry leaders

This isn’t a side project. This is infrastructure.

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING

Mike Grace (CEO, Longshot Space Technologies):

“This was one of the most carefully researched interviews I’ve had the pleasure of doing. She spends a lot of time thinking about space and doing the reading.”

Mike Simmons (50 years leading astronomy programs):

“This is the best interview I’ve ever done. Great questions and discussion.”

Paul Szymanski (Pioneer of Modern Space Warfare Doctrine):

“Angelica has the most interesting discussions I’ve seen on LinkedIn. Also, she is so good at summarizing these discussions afterwards.” (His writings are mandatory study by our military)

Robert Feierbach (Space Tech & Aerospace Entrepreneur):

“Happy to see Maritime Launch Services as part of Sirotin Intelligence’s next frontier community, Angelica Sirotin! Keep up the great work!”

Mike Snead (Founder, Spacefaring Institute):

Chose Sirotin Intelligence as the platform to first propose and explain his groundbreaking National Astroelectricity Energy Security Transition Plan – a vision for space-based solar power that could reshape global energy

Prometheus Space Technologies:

Publicly recognized Sirotin Intelligence, stating: “We are grateful to Sirotin Intelligence and Angelica Sirotin, recognizing Prometheus Space Technologies as one of the leaders driving humanity’s next frontiers.”

And these are just a handful… the network includes dozens more industry pioneers, from NASA mission commanders to emerging space startup founders, all contributing their expertise to this growing community

WHY SUCCESSION PLANNING MATTERS

When I announced Angelica as my successor, some investors wondered: “What happens when Mark steps back?”

This is what happens.

She’s not waiting to inherit a company. She’s building the foundation for what Angelic Pictures becomes in the next 50 years.

The vision:

• Space Samurai trilogy (our current project)
• Multiple sci-fi franchises (next decade)
• Authentic space technology integration (informed by real experts)
• Product placement partnerships built on trust, not cold pitches
• A network that compounds in value with every project we make

Spielberg handed Kathleen Kennedy a company.
We’re building something bigger: an ecosystem.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Hollywood used to shape culture by telling stories about the future.

Somewhere along the way, it lost that. It became reactive instead of visionary. Cautious instead of bold.

We’re taking it back.

Angelica isn’t just building a network. She’s positioning Angelic Pictures as the force that defines how space is portrayed in Movies for the next generation.

When audiences watch Space Samurai in theaters, they’ll see technology that feels real because it was informed by the people building real space technology today.

When brands see their products integrated into our films, they’re not just getting screen time – they’re being immortalized in how the world imagines the future.

That’s not product placement. That’s legacy.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Most producers wait until they need something, then scramble to find it.

We build what we need before we need it.

That’s the difference between hoping for success and engineering it.

Mark told you Angelica was his successor because of how she thinks.

Now you see what that thinking produces.

Strategic patience. Value creation before extraction. Infrastructure building before deal-making.

As Sun Tzu said: “The wise warrior avoids the battle. The wise general knows that patience is the ultimate weapon.”

And if you’re wondering what we’ll be capable of when this network is fully activated across multiple franchises over the next decade?

So is Hollywood.
