Nightshadow Kickstarter Kicks Off New Universe

I know, I know– another Kickstarter.

Give me a moment and I'll tell you why it'll be worth it:

Your donation goes to fund a small piece of a grand, epic puzzle. An Indie film of this scale requires that we hit a series of small windows. In this instance, all of the chips are falling on the table at the same time and with your help, we can get to the next step of producing this film and launching a successful comic book company.

The Film Project is called Nightshadow and was created by Logan Cross. The story of our ninja assassin is our first foray into a whole new Superhero Universe. Well, actually it's a reboot of sorts. You see, back in 2011, Logan started doing a series of Superhero shorts, and over the course of a little over 4 years, he created quite an extensive universe. That world was created on a shoestring budget, and was the training ground for Logan. Now that he has well over 450 episodes under his utility belt, it's time to reboot with more experience and higher production values.

This May, we forge a new path when we start shooting Nightshadow. The plan is set and a seasoned crew is starting to gather; the enthusiasm is palatable. We WILL be playing Superhero, the only question is, how cool are we going to look doing it? With your help, we are going to look AWESOME!

Your donation goes to getting the most kick-ass costumes that not only look good on film, but can take the punishment of a Feature Film shooting schedule and intense stunt sequences!

Art takes time. Amazing costumes are no different. We want to build the most amazing pieces we can and put them on screen. The best way to do that is to give our costume builders enough time to create. However, the window between when we get the money from our Investors and the start of shooting is too small a window to have proper costumes made for our heroes and villains. They need to start sewing yesterday.

We don't need the money to fund the movie, create a demo reel, or work on visual effects for post-production. All of that will be taken care of by a shadowy cabal hell-bent on world domination, so don't worry if the film will get made. It'll get made. Your donation ensures we look good doing it and will go directly to creating the costumes by In Disguise Designs and Renegade Effects Group.

So we turn to you: Will you help us create something awesome?

Here's a goal just for Bleeding Cool viewers: if we reach our funding goal over THIS weekend, we will give all contributors an exclusive 3rd comic book download based on Dragos.
