e n d o f t h e u n i v e r s e .

so my friend tim nicholas (of BRRRPTZZZAP! the subject lore), a recent pratt institute ex-pat (ex-prattriate? haha) just launched a kickstarter project to raise funds for making his senior thesis film, TIME WIZARD OUTLAWS, into a feature length, and he needs your help!! he’s got 28 days to meet his budget, and you can help with a donation as small as $5. there are also amazing incentives for different donation amounts (see: the “all-seeing eye” shortbread cookies!!). 

the current trailer to TIME WIZARD OUTLAWS is on the kickstarter page, as well as tim’s pitch, where he explains what the gist of the film is, why he wants to make it a feature length, and exactly how the money will be spent. there will be additional videos posted in the next 28 days under the updates tab about the film, and there’s currently one in which he attempts to explain the aesthetic inspiration of the film.

kickstarter is an all-or-nothing format, so if the budget isn’t met by the deadline, you don’t ever get charged your pledge, so there’s no harm in pledging just a little spare change.

i promise this isn’t a ruthless promotional post; i myself plan to pledge toward this effort, as i think T.W.O. has great potential to be an awesome feature length. at its current state, the film as a short is pretty brilliant, and i think tim is really onto something with it. we both share a strong interest in the philosophy of history, and an appreciation for oddball and campy humor, and i believe this film is a great homage to both.

check out the page, pledge $5 (or more if you’re feeling like a real patron of the arts!) and share it with your friends!!

if you’re interested in seeing some of tim’s other work (including his documentary about noel godin, french anarchist and political pie-flinger), watch some shorts here.

also, happy thanksgiving!

sincerely,
