Afternoon Tribe!
I have some SUPER EXCITING news!
MIFF 37°South Market is an annual event where IP owners pitch their manuscripts/creative assets to producers for potential screen adaptations, writers pitching their screenplays to producers, panel discussions, and MORE!
This year, Big Tim's Funny Books has been selected to pitch our catalogue of comics and RPGs! And we're raising money to make this trip a possibility!
I have spent decades in the arts, acting, writing, filmmaking, and comic book production. And this is the biggest opportunity I've had to date.
We’re launching a SUPER EXCLUSIVE poster to commemorate and celebrate!
The BIG TIM'S FUNNY BOOKS GOES TO THE MOVIES! Kickstarter will launch later this week and run for FIVE DAYS ONLY!
Inspired by one of my favourite scenes from 1984’s Gremlins, the poster will feature some of our favourite characters from our comics and RPG tools, and even one or two from projects still in development!
All these inhabitants of my comics and RPGs will be having the time of their lives, watching a movie in a cinema!
And I know some of you will be asking “What about the last comic we backed that we haven’t received yet?” And the answer to that is, I completely understand!
You guys are always in the front of my mind.
For everyone who backed my previous Kickstarter on a physical level, and you support BIG TIM'S FUNNY BOOKS GOES TO THE MOVIES, the poster will be added to your bundle when GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2 goes out with now extra postage charge, AND you’ll also get a bonus something-something in your delivery.
If that’s you, keep an eye on your Kickstarter inbox where I’ll send you a super-secret link that will make sure you get all that!
But for now, If you backed the BIG TIM'S FUNNY BOOKS GOES TO THE MOVIES! Kickstarter and click that NOTIFY ME link!
That way you’ll get an email AS SOON AS WE GO LIVE, so you won’t miss out.
This is a super exciting time for me. Being a life-long comic book fan and coming from an acting background, spending decades writing unproduced screenplays before trying my hand at writing comics, and the last two years of making short films with my mate Luke, and winning awards for both our films and my comics, I feel like this is an accumulation of all my years of work coming together.
They say that Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher once said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." This kinda feels like that.
Anyway, don’t forget to hit that NOTIFY ME link on my BIG TIM'S FUNNY BOOKS GOES TO THE MOVIES! Kickstarter and as I said, if you’re still waiting on GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2, keep an eye on your Kickstarter inbox.
I am cautiously excited about this.
That’s it for today guys.
I love ya, and I mean it!
Big Tim!
