299 days anyone?

[APX808]

Hey guys, has any of you read 299 days series? What do you think about it?

The price of the books is too high, specially if you consider that last books only have around 200 pages and the price is 10 bucks, but you can get "demo versions" from torrent sites, and I was thinking on starting with it after I finish "Surviving Home"

They're fighting to make a movie now.

Yep.  This is the big announcement.

Let’s make a movie.  For real.

Here’s the deal: We have a real Hollywood producer – who is a Patriot and prepper (!) – and we’re going to raise the money to make the first of hopefully three 299 Days movies.  Movie One will be based on Book One and Book Two.  You can listen all about it on this interview of me on the Survival Podcast (which, by the way, is the best interview I’ve ever done.).

We know Hollywood is full of left-wing lunatics so we’re not counting on them to make this movie.  Instead, we – the Patriot and prepper community – are going to do it ourselves.  We’re self-reliant; doing things ourselves is what we do.  A movie is no exception.

We will raise the money in two stages: (1) pre-sales of DVDs and Blu-Rays, and (2) a Kickstarter campaign for the remainder.  (Here is background on how Kickstarter works.)  No one has to pay a dime unless we meet our funding goal and can then make the movie.  Here are the details:

The first stage is from March 20 to April 1 when we will pre-sell DVDs and blu-rays of the movie.  You can pledge to buy them here.  We are not collecting your credit card numbers now; you are merely pledging to buy DVDs and blu-rays.  If we don’t meet the funding goal  We’re doing pre-sales to raise as much money as we can this way so we can ask for less in a Kickstarter campaign.  If we don’t meet your Kickstarter funding goal then we don’t get the Kickstarter money, so we want the Kickstarter goal to be as low as possible.  So please pre-order as many DVDs and Blu-Rays as you can – they make great presents to hand out to people to described why they should be a prepper.  The more you order, the better the chance of the moving being made.

The second stage is from April 2 to May 2 when we launch the Kickstarter campaign.  In that time period, you can go onto the Kickstarter web page for 299 Days and (1) view the magnificent video trailer we did (some of the screen shots are below), and (2) make a pledge.  The great thing about Kickstarter is the rewards.  You get something cool for your pledge.  For example, a $20 pledge gets you a sticker or patch.  A larger pledge gets you a signed movie poster.  An even larger pledge gets you a role as an extra.  A really big pledge gets you all of those things plus a weekend out at the cabin with the Team or a trip to Jack Spirko’s.

No matter what you do, please do two things: (1) watch the Kickstarter video once it’s up on April 2, and (2) share the this blog post and (after April 2) the Kickstarter page on Facebook, Twitter, and by email to your friends – and post about it on forums.  Get the word out about the Kickstarter campaign.

We can do this.  But we need your help.  Think how great you’ll feel if we can actually make the first movie that accurately portrays us – and you had a direct part in making that happen.

Thank you.  Each and every single one of you.

Too many projects and no movies... Like Gray State and Lights Out Saga.
Lights out saga got less than the half of what they expected in the crow-founding campaign, and that book is way better and iconic than 299 days.
I think they are fucked.

I agree. However, I think that Lights Out Saga could succeed if it continues to receive support. If it was even a minor hit on the big screen, other SHTF movies done prepper-style could have a fighting chance. Be great if we could do this mainstream eventually without all the liberal influences.
