Crowdfunding Cynema

Do I Or Don’t I? There are crowdfunding sites for films, projects, medical issues, video games, bankruptcy, personal hardships and well…one for making potato salad. What does Cynema have to do with crowdfunding? After all, it’s about people pursuing their dreams, correct? Maybe. Some of that is legit. I am focusing on the film projects. Thousands of folks out there have turned to The Internet to get their movie funded. Kickstarter, Indie Go Go and Go Fund Me have bloomed as filmmakers go to these sites, set financial goals and lobby for donors. I’ve followed several of these ventures on Twitter. They spend their day lobbying followers to help them make their daily financial goals to make “their dream” come true. They offer “packages” that give the title of “producer” to their films. This is ball busting work and to be sure has pissed off a legion of followers with the constant time line shake downs. Some of these filmmakers

Comic Review: “Blood & Gourd” Issue #1

A bit about this book from it’s creators: It’s Devil’s Night in Olympia, WA – and out at Henderson Farms, the festivities are reaching a crescendo. Young and old have gathered to pick their own pumpkin, drink hot apple cider, and partake in the usual pumpkin farm fare. However, something has awakened from deep within the fertile soil. After years of abuse and humiliation, the pumpkins…are ready to pick us. You can Beg! You can plead! You can scream! But these hell’s lanterns are lit only with the burning desire to watch. You. Die! Through crowd-funding and sheer determination, the Dead Peasant team has successfully conjured up one of the most bizarre, offbeat, and exciting comic books in years. With its roots in the classics and its vines in the new, Blood & Gourd is like EC Comics meets ’70s/’80s cult horror in 2015. Murderous pumpkins and assorted Halloween horrors bring to the fore an all new set of myths

Nazi Zombies Attack In ‘Sky Sharks’

A team of geologists, deep in the Antarctic, uncover an old Nazi laboratory containing the remains of dark experiments. The scientists accidentally unleash a top-secret project, modified, flying sharks and their mutated, super-human zombie riders. The only force that can stop the mutated weapons are the “Dead Flesh Four”, a team of undead U.S. soldiers that were killed and reanimated during the war in Vietnam. Marc Fehse is the director behind ‘Sky Sharks’. The cast includes Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (‘Planet of the Apes’), Robert LaSardo (Death Race), Tobias Schenke (Taxi) and Micaela Schafer (Seed 2). ‘Sky Sharks’ sounds like a great flick, but there is one catch, the people behind the zombie movie need your help to finish the project. They are running a Kickstarter campaign to help raise the money for production and to prove to investors that ‘Sky Sharks’ is worth the investment. Did I mention the cool perks their Kickstarter campaign offers, including shirts, DVDs, posters, set visits
