Alan Moore lance un appel via Kickstarter...

Les infos sont ici


We (Alan Moore, Mitch Jenkins and Lex Projects) are turning to Kickstarter and calling on all our fans to support the making of His Heavy Heart, a short film written by Alan, shot by Mitch and produced by Lex.

His Heavy Heart is the piece de resistance of the 5 part cycle. Really, it's the icing on the cake. It seeks to provide some closure to our troubled leading man Jimmy, which frankly, I think we could all do with. At the moment, he is trapped in the unsettling and deeply sinister limbo of the Working Men's Club. Neither present by choice, or given the means to abscond his surreal situation, he hurtles towards his inevitable descent into the next stage of his story.

It's the final piece in the Jimmy's End series of shorts that are the foundations of a planned full length feature film - The Show. This feature will eventually expand on the world created in this five part cycle.

Money pledged from you for this project will go towards the creation of His Heavy Heart as well as the production of all the amazing and exclusive rewards available here. Any additional funds raised during the Kickstarter process will go into further development of the existing series and towards the forthcoming feature film.

Squirrels and Hitchcock issues aside (come on, you've watched the pledge video, right?!) we have the story in our heads and on paper, and we need you to come on board and help us finish the final chapter in this epic journey into an unknown world.

WHY KICKSTARTER?

Well, it's pretty simple really. We want to make the film that is in our heads and the draft that's on the paper. It's difficult to fund short films in the traditional manner, especially something like the Jimmy's End cycle which is comprised of different lengths and varying subject matter. We want to stay true to the original vision and produce a film that is as close as feasibly possible to Alan's screenplay and Mitch's directorial vision. Kickstarter is a unique opportunity to create our vision with the help of our fans. We are committed to developing our independent projects and want to work with our fans to realise our ambitions.

THE FILMS...

The Jimmy's End saga is made up of five shorts. Rather like a comic book series, each film in the cycle contributes to the overall story, as well as having a clear, standalone narrative and purpose.

What we've made so far....
