My 10,000 3×5 project, where I’m making 10,000 drawings on 3×5 cards, passed the 1,000 mark earlier this month. Here are a few of the most recent 3×5s:
Check out the entire project so far here. Most drawings are available for sale, cheap.
Even though my first feature film Atom Age Vampire (that’s a still from it it on the left there) is still just barely making its way out into the world, I’m already thinking ahead to the second feature film.
Zontar: The Thing From Venus is a very awful 1966 sci-fi movie starring John Agar and pretty much nobody else you would have ever heard of (I think many of them aren’t even actors). What I hope to do: raise a couple thousand bucks, strip the sound from the movie (like Atom Age Vampire, it’s in the public domain) and turn Zontar into an animated film.
Max Keiser has set up a new website, Pirate My Film (which is still in beta), that sells shares in movies that people want to make. Once a film reaches 100% funding, the filmmaker receives a check and makes a movie.
A share costs as little as five bucks. In exchange, you get the movie on DVD plus a share of download sales and ad revenue. Pretty sweet.
And but so you can help fund my second movie today by going to Zontar’s Pirate My Film page. One share costs five bucks, and you can buy up to ten at a time.
Incredibly, Zontar is already over 9% of the way to its goal, without any real advertising or PR of the site by Max yet. So if you want to get in on the action, now is the time!
And if you don’t have purchased Atom Age Vampire on DVD for just ten bucks yet, that will also support my second feature film–buy one today!
