Kickstart Prelude To Axanar, A Short That Delves Into One Of Star Trek’s Most Infamous Battles

March 14th - via: giantfreakinrobot.com
There’s no shortage of Star Trek fan films out there, and the quality and level of production values have only been increasing over the years. Advancing technology has made it easier than ever to pull off the CGI and visual effects needed to help sell an original Trek story, and some of the bigger projects, such as Star Trek: Phase II, have even brought in actual Trek vets such as George Takei, Walter Koenig, and writer D.C. Fontana. Now a new Kickstarter project is looking to set the bar even higher with a short film that will lead into a full-length independent Star Trek feature film. (Read More)

5 Cool Things Veronica Mars Kickstarter Pledgers Got (+5 More Flicks to Fund!)

March 11th - via: brit.co
Remember life before Kickstarter? Yeah, us neither… or maybe we just don’t want to. Probably because the crowdfunding site is kicking major butt these days. They recently hit $1 billion in pledges and got to celebrate with a milestone that shows a serious change for movie making in the Internet age. Less than a year after the Veronica Mars movie raised over $1.3 million in six hours on Kickstarter, it premiered this weekend at SXSW. Adoring “marshmallows” got to skip past Will Call to cash in on their pledges and, if they were lucky, rub elbows with the cast. Squee! (Read More)
