comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
Please respond to these comments within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe our
comments apply to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to these comments, we may have additional
comments. References to "prior comments" are to comments in our April 6, 2023 letter issued in
our review of your Form 10-12G.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 17
1.We note your response to comment 1. However, your disclosure does not describe the
joint operating agreement with movie producing companies. Please revise to explain in
detail the joint operating agreement, including what costs you are responsible for and how
your share of revenue is determined. Disclose who owns the rights to the movies
produced. Explain why you report $10,086,617 on your balance sheet for movie projects.
2.We note in your response to comment 2 that "Livento Group, LLC has no Bank Loans
with any banks." Your response only refers to Livento Group, LLC and is in the present
tense. Please clarify whether any entity in this filing has or had loans related to real estate
transactions for all periods presented. We note your consolidated statement of changes in
equity has a transaction for "loan settlement" for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Executive Compensation, page 26
3.We note that the compensation disclosure for your executive officers disclosed in the
Form 10-K differs from the disclosure in the amended Form 10 filed on April 14, 2023.
For example, you disclose that Justin Mathews earned $96,000 in 2021 and 2022 in the
Form 10-K but the Form 10 indicates that Mr. Mathews earned $48,000 in the same
periods. As a further example, you disclose that David Stybr earned $100 in stock awards
in 2021 and 2022 but this is not disclosed in the Form 10-K. Please advise.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder
Matters, page 26
4.Please provide a materially complete description of the Series A Preferred Stock,
including the voting rights and conversion rights of the holders. Clarify how the 51% of
the voting power held by David Stybr is impacted if the 100 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock held by Mr. Stybr changes.
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, page F-4
5.We note your response to comment 5. However, based on your consolidated statements of
changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and
disclosure on pages 18-19 of your filing, you have issued shares for services. As such we
are reissuing our prior comment. You appear to have issued shares for services and
recorded a debit to additional paid in capital. Tell why this is appropriate or revise
accordingly. Tell us if an expense and / or an asset is also debited for these transactions.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-5
6.We note your response to comment 6. In your response you address some cash
transactions, however you have not addressed all the large balances recorded in cash flows
from investing and financing activities. Tell us if all the transactions recorded in cash
flows from investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021 were actual cash transactions. If they were not cash transactions, then remove them
from the cash flow statement and disclose the information in a narrative format or in a
summarized schedule in accordance with ASC 230-10-50-3.
Note 5 - Common-Control Transaction ASC 805-50, page F-10
7.We note your response to comment 7. However, your disclosure on page F-10 is
confusing. For example it is not clear how Mr. David Stybr has control of both Livento
Group, LLC and NuGene International Inc. It is also not clear why holding certain shares,
such as C class shares and / or A class shares, provides the owner with control of the
entity. Please revise the disclosure to provide a clear timeline of events, including how
control / ownership in each entity was determined. Also, disclose how Livento Group,
LLC became Livento Group, Inc.
