We don't normally do this type of thing with the blog, but since Colin asked so nicely...
Over the years, I have been ever so fortunate as to meet and keep an eclectic group of very creative friends. I know actors, musicians, directors, artists, bloggers, dancers, writers and so many more. Each of these unique individuals has produced equally unique pieces of art. Right now my friend Matt Kollar, who composed the score for Bobcat Goldthwait’s film God Bless America (2011), is trying to make a short horror film...but he needs your help. We are lucky to live in an age where artists no longer need to seek out studios or other mainstream forces. Thanks to the ever-widening reach of the Internet and social media, independent artists such as Matt can see their unique visions become a reality.

Slain At Lover’s Lane is more than a horror film—it is a revenge story, an origin story (akin to those of most super-hero flicks), and a wonderful homage to some classic horror films, most notably the iconic Vincent Price film The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971). I’ve known Matt and many involved in this production for quite some time, and if one thing can be said about them it’s that they are determined...and damn talented. Okay, so that’s two things. Matt and his Space Barbarians Production Company have very little time left to try to meet their target goal for this project. As a writer and actor for Space Barbarian Productions, I am imploring you all, horror fans or not, to check out their Indiegogo campaign page and donate a little something to help out.
I believe in this film. I believe in Matt Kollar’s vision. I believe in the generosity of crowd-funding. Similar to Kickstarter, donors will be rewarded with prizes ranging from specially designed t-shirts, to DVDs and Blu-rays of the finished product, to even receiving producer credit. I thank you all for taking the time today to read this little plea and for following the bouncing link to join the cause. With your help, Slain At Lover’s Lane can become a reality. Thank you, and keep watching the screens.
