Runaway - New Film From Horizon Creator

[tommygdawg]

Hey all,

Many of you may know me from my work on Star Trek - Horizon, the Enterprise-era fan film that has garnered nearly 2 million views so far on YouTube. I wrote, directed, edited, scored, and was the cinematographer, main visual effects artist, and costume designer for the film. I'm getting back into original material and have launched a Kickstarter to create a sci-fi cyberpunk short film. I need your help to make it happen. Anything you can do, whether it's chipping in a couple bucks or just sharing the link, would be very helpful!

You can find Horizon here:

Synopsis:
Maria is an android on the run-- falsely accused of murdering her master. Pursued through the forest by ruthless bounty hunters, Maria struggles to reach the Free States and maybe discover her humanity along the way.

I really like the concept and hope it turns out well. Tommy has shown he can deliver a great product so I don't have any hesitation about wishing the best for him and everyone involved with "Runaway".

Already donated and I hope you reach your goal!

I will certainly donate and I like the concept for your film. However I don’t think posting your Kickstarter page here falls within the TrekBBS rules.

"Rules" or "guidelines"?

Thanks all for the responses, donations, and willingness to donate. I figured this would be a good place to post it since it is relevant to Horizon. And please do share the link as well!

California loves the term Sanctuary, We would be "California, The Silicon (or Syn-droid) Sanctuary State."

Kickstarter links are not allowed. Expect a mod to delete it.

I saw on your KS blurb that DVDs of your terrific ST: Horizon are perks for one level of donation to your new, and I will expect to find it also terrific, film. Is that because your new film is not ST IP or a ST fan film that squares doing that with the guideline thing about a fan production can't be distributed on a physical format?

I was wondering that as well.

Please do not solicit funds on TrekBBS (i.e., post crowdfunding links). Instead, buy an ad. Thanks.

Providing a DVD as a perk for a donation is effectively selling the DVD. So if he's offering Horizon disks as a reward, he's selling a Star Trek, which is illegal.

I'd think that including it as a bonus to another reward; i.e. "donate $10 and get a coffee mug, plus bonus Horizons DVD" etc would be slightly better.

IP lawyers are hip to that tactic, believe me.

That's a difference that makes no dfference.

When Jimm Johnson sent the Making of DVDs out for "The Savage Empire" to supporters he often included a copy of the episode as a bonus, but it was not advertised as a perk thus was an ACTUAL bonus "thank you". No one sent money in to get the episode. He understood the line of demarkation there.
