We're getting ready to Kickstart for a proof-of-concept piece for this pitch we're preparing for and part of that involves getting press. So I came up with this simple press release that touches on what we're doing and why our niche may be interested in this film (scifi/futurist crowd). I was just wondering if you guys would be willing to critique it and give us your honest feedback. Thank you so much and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you guys think:
Aspiring Young Filmmakers Create a Show that Explores the Social Effects of the Singularity
Two Brothers tell a dynamic story that connects our lives to the coming Singularity and how we’re currently dealing with the unknown future.
Baltimore, Maryland, October 15th 2015 — The Co-founding brothers of Ionia Media, ____ and ____, are setting out to Kickstart a 14-episode series called Novek, which expands on the relationship between the unknown future and how we handle uncertainty.
Set in present day, this mind-bending scifi thriller follows four characters through the end of space and time. A large, “Void” appears in the furthest reaches of our universe and is growing larger everyday as it consumes everything in it’s path. In six weeks it will reach Earth, and no one has any idea what will happen when it gets here. Everything stops, society panics, and within weeks the whole World begins to crumble.
In the middle of these twisted turn of events are four characters whose fates are inextricably linked. There’s a prison doctor who struggles to overcome PTSD, a psychopath searching for redemption, a criminal looking to find himself, and the daughter of a cult leader who is trying to get out of the shadows of her father.
The brothers are currently running a Kickstarter campaign and plan to raise $10,000. You can find it here:
“We want to create something that reaches out to a mainstream audience, because we really want to expand on this very important conversation about the Singularity. I mean what is it? Should we be afraid, or should we simply be afraid of being afraid and causing a stir when it’s not even necessary? And what does that kind of fear even look like within our modern-time? Novek takes these questions and pumps them full of steroids. It’s a wild trip you don’t want to miss.”
