Braveheart Films Launches Kickstarter to Finance CARRIE PILBY Adaptation

June 26th - via: movies.broadwayworld.com
Award winning Braveart Films is now crowdfunding a feature film based on the critically-acclaimed and best-selling novel 'Carrie Pilby'. The novel, written by Caren Lissner in 2003, was among the first novels published by Harlequin Enterprises's Red Dress Ink imprint which was created to take advantage of the 'chick lit' phenomenon, including humorous books about young women like 'Bridget Jones' Diary'. In 2010, due to reader demand by its young female audience, 'Carrie Pilby' was republished by Harlequin?s Teen line, and was subsequently published in France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Australia, Indonesia and the UK where it has continued to gather a following and critical distinction. (Read More)

June 22nd - via: hudsonreporter.com
The top grossing movies last week had something in common: The superhero flick (“Man of Steel”), the ensemble apocalypse comedy (“This Is the End”), and the spy thriller (“Now You See Me”) were all predominantly male. But one group is fighting to make a movie that breaks that norm, without big-studio funding or bombastic special effects. Thanks to a recently launched Kickstarter campaign, they just may succeed. (Read More)
