It has been some time since I posted on here. A lot has been going on in regards to film projects and continuing Urban Numina. But here is some exciting news, I'm working on an Urban Numina feature film!
Currently a new competition has been started here in New Zealand, with the chance to win $100,000 funding towards an independent movie. I put forward three pitches, of which Urban Numina has proven to be the most popular.
The competition works as thus. Judges will select the top twelve films out of those pitched - using the votes as a guide to pick the best choices.
Votes are made by either liking the film's page, tweeting its link or choosing +1 via google+.
Once the top 12 are chosen, the votes are reset and voting begins again. The top voted two then have to present scripts to the judges and a final winner will be decided.
Urban Numina still is a far way off from winning. But I have been working hard to promote it. I'm taking a leaf from the crowdfunding manual.
The voting is social media based - so it isn't enough to just vote. Each voter needs to convince as many of their friends to vote too, and so on.
But this can be a tough sell out of the many entries at the site. So I'm putting forth this post that you can guide people to. Below is a synopsis of the start of the film along with details as to what happens in the latter part (avoiding spoilers.)
I have spent a fair amount of time crafting the story into a feature film format, which requires a different narrative to the series. It needs to stand on its own as a story and introduce the characters without spending too much time waffling. I'm confident that the script delivers on this. It is much funnier and takes a lot from the feedback I got from the series.
Now for the crowdfunding part -
I need you to help me get the votes I need. If I can get even as half as many votes as people who watched the first episode - Urban Numina stands an excellent chance of winning.
To this end here are some enticements for if the film wins.

Now for the synopsis and a link to the last episode. :)
Synopsis
Currently I'm in the process of rewriting the script and thus the synopsis has changed. Keep checking the blog for more information.Here's a brief summary teaser:
Devon is heartbroken, Andrea is trying to get heartbroken and Mel is just breaking hearts. Just when the three friends feel they are getting on top of their problems, an amnesiac god named Deus literally drops into the middle of their lives.
Now Devon is trying to get his boyfriend back while having to babysit Deus, Andrea is having to turn to the man she wants to break up with and Mel is not only breaking hearts but contemplating breaking bones too. And that's when things get really complicated...
