Probable Robot!
So, my peoples.
I am coming out of lurkerness to let you know about a VERY IMPORTANT THING.
My FaberryCon co-chair, Karyn, is a filmmaker and screenwriter, on top of being an incredible fic writer. She's working on her third feature right now, Probable Robot, (press release is here), which is a sci-fi/B-movie/comedy thing described as "Clerks meets Invasion of the Body Snatches for generation Netflix, made by a ladygay." She is writing, directing, and producing it, and it features two queer lady leads (who happen to be ex-girlfriends. Who work in neighboring retail shops. And must begrudgingly work together to stop a robot takeover.) Seriously, go read about it and/or watch videos of Karyn talking about it. It's so cool. It's also the biggest professional project she's ever taken on, and we want this to be her big break. She's amazing and she deserves it.
We need your help.
She's making this movie because representation is important, and because almost all lesbian movies are sad or terrible and/or focus on the coming out process or girl-meets-girl. Here, the queerness is omnipresent but not center stage as the reason for the story. It's just queer ladies kicking ass because they can. And it's really, really important.
I'm late to promoting this here, I confess, as I've just been focused on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr. (Oops.) But there's only one more week left in the campaign to raise funds, and we're still far short of where we'd like to be to make the best movie we can. (I say "we" because I'M IN IT. YEP. Just as an extra on video, but still! MY FACE IS IN THIS MOVIE.)
If you have $5 (or more!) to throw at it, that would be amazing. I've proudly put a large chunk of change in, but I know not everyone can do that, obviously. But there is a $1 level that gets your name on the credits, and awesome perks higher than that. Even if you can't support it financially, would you please consider supporting us by spreading the word. Every signal boost helps. Here's what you can link to, as you like:
- The official IndieGoGo campaign page
- Twitter
- Tumblr or reblog this post
Really, anything helps, and you'll have my undying gratitude. ♥
