Hi,
I have a story your potter readers may like,
Here's a brief insight.
Myself and a few others have been working a on fantasy/thriller/drama series entitled Grim: A Tale of Death for the past two years. We’ve already picked up a festival appearance for The Marseille Webfest (the only web series in Europe) without having started production properly. In a very small nutshell it follows a group of Grim Reapers. The Grim Reaper, Angel of Death, Father Time, Shinigami are widely known across many cultures and religions as the personification of death and guides the souls of those who have recently died to the afterlife… or the underworld. Our story focuses on what happens in-between these guided trips. The stories these beings encounter in the in-between realm. We want to tell a unique and original story, not compiled full of fast edits, CGI and blaring gun fights, just a comprehensive and fulfilling story.
The works of J. K. Rowling, George R. R. Martin & J R. R. Tolkien are of the writer’s greatest influences and have inspired him to create a fully functional fictional world, quite like the stated authors have done, the world is filled with a deep history, a political system, law & orders, races and beliefs, demons and forgotten creatures of the night, such as the lingering Snarls and tainted Ajolias. The whole reaper realm is filled with these forgotten creatures, there's murder, there's betrayal, there's torture and most profoundly there's insanity. Throughout our normal lives each day we are faced with troubles and emotions that detach us from the world around us. Imagine that you've been around since the dawn of time, all the wars, the innocent lives taken, the families torn apart. As the reapers have to harvest the soul they are usually present for the death. Even the immortals can only take so much and now there are signs that they are cracking, the reapers are the beings who dwindle within the darkness but now they fear they are not alone. Death becomes afraid of death.
We've involved as much as the community here in Wales as much as we can (auditioning school kids, bringing on those who want to help with no experience) but now to spread the word, we need the help of the online communities to help make Grim happen. We've launched a crowdfunding scheme, if you check our pitch video you can see how passionate we are and how high we strive to deliver a professional end piece. We’ve raised $3866 so far -http://www.indiegogo.com/ataleofdeath?a=428106 - We don't have any of those nonsense perks either that drive me insane where people ask you for $25 and in return you get a postcard! We want to bring a high quality style of filmmaking to the web and a unique and original story, we have a good online following that seems to be a mix of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Supernatural fans and now we're looking for that little extra bit of exposure and help from potter heads, any pledge is a pledge that helps.
If you would like any more information I can provide a library of material for you as well as promo pictures and even put you into direct contact with the director.
Take care and have a good day/night.
