Crowdfund This: ‘Nightshadow’
This looks like an incredibly neat project, from a company with a ton of heart. Let’s help make Nightshadow come to life!
Nightshadow is a comic book-style feature film that tells the story ‘of a former assassin who left her clan to clean up the streets of her home city while also uncovering the truth about her past. As a court reporter, she is constantly aware of crime that slips through the cracks and uses this information to keep her city safe.’
The project comes from Cross The Line Entertainment, a company founded in 2010 with two feature-length films under their belt, both of which are currently in post-production. The Nightshadow campaign will also help to launch Cross The Line Comics, which aims to create a diverse superhero universe based on Nightshadow characters.
I’d like to actually applaud the folks at Cross The Line for delivering one of the most detailed Kickstarter campaigns that I’ve seen, well, ever. All too often you’ll see a simple video and extremely limited information, but Cross The Line has gone all out detailing locations, team members, showing off tons of concept art, as well as a series of detailed videos about various facets of Nightshadow‘s pre-production and behind-the-scenes looks at their previous works. Take a look at the surprisingly interesting, 10+ minute look at the location-scouting process for Nightshadow below:
The film (and comic book venture) sounds well thought-out, action packed, is set to introduce some pretty slick characters and themes (including a Super Soldier, a military lieutenant with a bionic arm, a princess warrior from another dimension, alien biotechnology, ancient relics, magic, a hotheaded and vengeful vigilante, alien warriors, underground societies, a computer hacker, and a mysterious cosmic energy heading for Earth), and is well on its way to becoming the universe that the team at Cross The Line hope that it will be. I can’t wait to see it come to fruition.
The Nightshadow Kickstarter campaign has currently raised $4355 of its $30,000 goal, and has 17 days left to raise the funds. As always, there are some pretty skookum backer rewards up for grabs, including digital downloads, t-shirts, scripts, DVD/Blu-Rays, props, concept art, and much, much more!
So, take a look at the Nightshadow Kickstarter video below, and head here to learn more about the project and to back it yourself! And of course, don’t forget to SHARE so that we can help Nightshadow be the very best that it can be!
