funding a Bonestell tomorrow

sergebroomThe first time I contributed to a Kickstarter Project, it was for Mary Robinette Kowal’s puppet show at the worldcon in 2011. Then came an erotica SF book by Mary Anne Mohanraj, followed by a fantasy novel by MK Hobson. And now… Today a movie, tomorrow the world?
I was quite intrigued by Marc Scott Zicree’s "Space Command", a proposal to make a film set in the Future as it had been depicted by artist Chesley Bonestell, and in George Pal’s movies such as 1955’s “Conquest of Space”.
I was also intrigued by the idea of Kickstarter being used to fund SF movies. So I thought I’d make some contribution because if Zicree – who wrote “Star Trek” episode “World Enough and Time” – shows it can be done, others might get the idea that they too can make it work. Who knows what could happen next? CJ Cherryh’s “Merchanter’s Luck”?
