(Seattle, WA) Already in production, “Untold Tales of the Comic Industry”
will tackle a vast array of topics, ranging from early childhood stories and
creative inspirations to issues of race and gender, both on the page and within
the industry. Jerwa, a comic writer best known for his work on “G.I. Joe,”
“Battlestar Galactica,” and “Mighty Crusaders,” says
that early filming has “already guaranteed a documentary experience that
is both welcoming and unflinching. Nothing is off the table.”
Following the example set by countless other film projects, Jerwa and his film
team are using the popular Kickstarter fundraising website to help finance the
production. The stated goal of $18,000.00 will allow the filmmakers to travel
to Los Angeles, Portland and New York City for extended periods, interviewing
the vast number of comic creators and publishers who call those cities home.
As with all Kickstarter projects, if the goal is not reached by the specified
end date of September 15th, 2011, Jerwa’s documentary will receive absolutely
no funding.
