January 8th, 2012 - Artemis on NBC   Letter From The Filmmaker Wingman Briefing Room RSS
.





Congratulations to our digital designer Greg Martin whose work was surfed on the telly, and to all Wingman whose support (and faces!) appeared on screen today. It is not at all crazy to me that when we launched we had nothing but big ideas, blank space and a lack of infrastructure and now? BOOM! Significant amounts of tangible success and progress, all while staying true to our ethos, which is unprecedented. I knew we could do this. The first Wingmen knew we could do this. I prepped hard with strong support from colleagues, you took a leap with me and together we've continued to push forward despite the incredible obstacles that mar the media landscape. It's worth noting, and you should all be proud. Go team! No wimps!

And thanks to anchor-personality Angie Goff & her crew for digging into what we're all about. If you're new here, click "begin", load the map and add your fire to ours! This movie does not happen unless you make it official and become a Wingman. And hey, right now you can take advantage of the limited edition BAM!♥ new Wingman opportunity just below!





 
January 1st, 2012 -            

Monies to go toward the scifi-fantasy film project ARTEMIS ETERNAL, obviously!


What you get:
+ 1. You get one of the last first-edition copies of the hardcover book Aidmheil, personally inscribed to you by director/author Jessica Mae Stover (that's me). This means that I write you a dedication note on the inside cover. Here's the official book page and the most in-depth overview.

+ 2. You become an official ARTEMIS ETERNAL WINGMAN at the $100 Aurum-level!
- Aurum with your personal link (shiny!)
- Your name in the film's end credits
- Added to the 'Who's In' official site Wingman list
- Wingman street cred/officially part of our community
- Periodic e-mail updates, project invites and adventure opportunities
- Independent high quality cinema and experimental media production: You're a part of it, in the mix, making it happen, no wimps!

+ 3. OMG! You will be added into a drawing for one of four high-quality artisanal prizes! (see below)

In the notes section please indicate who exactly you want me to inscribe the book to. If there is no note, I will assume you do not want me to inscribe your copy. If you have any difficulty specifying then please e-mail me at jessica [at] jessicastover [dot] com.

You can also purchase a BAM!♥ for a friend as a gift. All you need do is specify the details in the notes section on the order form. Your giftee will receive a direct Wingman welcome e-mail from me, which I will coordinate with you.

In addition, everyone who buys a BAM!♥ Wingman package will be entered into a drawing. Since this is a limited run, the odds of winning are NICE! Plus, I reserve the right to add even more prizes.

The four prizes:
♥. A superbly limited edition ARTEMIS ETERNAL art print numbered and signed by artist Christopher Shy and filmmaker Jessica Mae Stover. Only five of these are being printed. In the fraternal spirit of Wingmanliness, one of the concept art funders (Sean S.) has graciously contributed his print to this cause. It was completely his idea, and I'm happy to honor it. He is also contributing a limited TSL print...



♥. A limited edition THE SILVER LEGACY art print numbered and signed by artist Greg Martin and filmmaker Jessica Mae Stover. Explore the art here.

♥. A BAM!♥ package (personally inscribed Aidmheil and Wingman Membership) for a BAM!♥-ing friend of your choice. If you wish, you and I can conspire to send this directly to them as a surprise. I will coordinate this with you.

♥. A 30-minute video chat with filmmaker Jessica Mae Stover (that's me), a Wingman t-shirt (for your wearing pleasure!) and a super awesome handknitted scarf made just for you by my mom. You customize the color. No kidding!

Tweet this! Tell the BAM!luvas out there all about your BAM!luvin' ♥

- Director dailes always via JSDC and on Twitter @JSto

+Production update:
On the adminstrative front, we've just renewed our domain fee for the year and are preparing for ye olde business taxes and accounting fees. On the creative side, we're taking estimates on film storyboarding and we're working in power bursts on the redesign (we are overhauling the entire experience, our new home is going to be better organized, engaging and, of course, beautiful!). On the promotional side, I'm (me, Jess, director) doing a bit of press in DC.

If you missed it, we released concept art(!), which is used to inform the storyboarding process as well as production design, and of course to further share the creative and story of the film with you Wingmen.

Thank you to all Wingmen who have been active these last few months! Those involved directly with supporting and therefore accomplishing the concept art (prints forthcoming), those who have been doing outreach to communities, thought leaders and reporters via e-mail and Twitter and those who keep spirits high by their ongoing affection and of course, support. So that's all of you, really. Go team!

For new visitors thinking about making it official: Limited edition holiday Wingman package coming soon!
