The collective of sci-fi fans unite!
This week we’ve launched round 2 in our series of Represent fundraising campaigns in support of indie films by genre. The focus this time is on sci-fi! You can find the Represent fundraising campaign here: Support Sci-Fi Indie Film (*BF Represent store closed Dec 2023)
This is why we’re fundraising…
Over time, we just keep stumbling across the most amazing, well-written, fabulous, insightful, quirky, cheeky, ghoulish, bloody, disgusting independent film productions from teams of extremely talented individuals from all over the world. And we love it as much as we hate it, because we just can’t help enough of them. So many of these guys should already be making big-budget films or have been signed-on to produce a Netflix or major network t.v. series, but their work isn’t getting seen. The underlying problem? They’re being held back by lack of funding. We believe these artists deserve the opportunity to take their shot and we’re going to help them do it.
About this fundraising campaign
For our second Represent fundraising campaign, the focus is in support of another genre Blair and I cut our teeth on – sci-fi. As a kid, I stewed myself in reading Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells and Arthur C. Clarke, watched Star Trek from the time it launched on television in 1966 and saw Star Wars debut at the drive-in in 1977 and it blew my mind. As I pursued writing, the entire first half of my career was focussed on sci-fi and I dreamed of being the next Asimov. Blair has been an X-Files and Aliens fanatic I’m pretty sure since birth (we’re not even sure he’s quite human to be honest), has written sci-fi short stories and screenplays for years and can’t hold back the aliens that continually creep into his prop-making.
Won’t you help us support these independent film productions waiting to be made? Profits from the sale of all tees go directly into our fundraising pool to support more solid and deserving independent productions.
Shirts will be created and shipped at the conclusion of each fundraising round and we can’t print until the orders are in, so there’s no time to lose! Hit the link today and get your order in for a great tee and know that your contribution will help the indie film community.
All the shirts in the series feature the Bony Fiddle logo and the target genre. As we go along, once the initial campaigns run for a couple of weeks, we’ll work to add more colours and some different styles for a bit of variety. After the initial fundraising for each genre, we also hope to run them in perpetuity in the background. If you love them, you’ll be able to come back to create more orders whenever you like and know all your contributions will continue to help out some great crews who need our support to get their productions off the ground.
