The short version

Johnathan Brownlee is listed as a director on 1 SEC Form D filing by 1 issuer in Aug 2019: Jewels Film, LLC (Coppell, TX — industry reported as "Other" — 2019; $250K reported sold to 1 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC, filed Aug 2019. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Jaime Sendra (1 shared filing) and Rick Wilbins (1 shared filing).

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Johnathan. Each name links to their own page.

The issuer belongs to the sponsor group Jewels (2 issuers, $834K reported sold, 2019–2021).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Jewels has 2 companies on file and $834K reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — none found.

What this means Nothing turned up where we looked (3 sources). That does not prove there is nothing — it means none was found in those sources on that date.

We compared 1 public filing for Johnathan Brownlee and found 2 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 50% of the money raised went to insiders; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

2 differences found between the filings for Johnathan Brownlee — 1 worth asking about (compared 1 filing on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 28, 2019

50% of the money raised went to insiders — Jewels Film, LLC

The Aug 28, 2019 Form D reports $250,000 sold and $125,000 of the proceeds used for payments to officers, directors or promoters. Issuer's note: "Such payments will be made in connection with additional services to be provided by such individuals to the issuer.".

What this means The filing reports how much of the money raised was paid to insiders. Over 10% is high for most deals. Ask what it paid for.

Sources
Note · Jul 29, 2019 – Aug 28, 2019

Form D filed 30 days after the first sale — Jewels Film, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 29, 2019. The Form D was filed Aug 28, 2019 — 30 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 15 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

0 of 1 offering report sales commissions; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $125,000.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
