Myself and a few others have been working a on thriller/drama series entitled Grim: A Tale of Death for the past two years, before and through film school it blossomed from a 10minute short film into a 20 episode web series. We’ve already picked up a festival appearance for The Marseille Webfest (the only web series in Europe) without having started production properly. In a very small nutshell it follows a group of Grim Reapers. The Grim Reaper, Angel of Death, Father Time, Shinigami are widely known across many cultures and religions as the personification of death and guides the souls of those who have recently died to the afterlife… or the underworld. Our story focuses on what happens in-between these guided trips. The stories these beings encounter in the in-between realm. We want to tell a unique and original story, not compiled full of fast edits, CGI and blaring gun fights, just a comprehensive and fulfilling story about these lost characters. We've involved as much as the community here in Wales as much as we can (auditioning school kids, bringing on those who want to help with no experience) but now to spread the word, we need the help of the online communities to help make Grim. We've launched a crowdfunding scheme, if you check our pitch video you can see how passionate we are and how high we strive to deliver a professional end piece despite using DIY equipment. We’ve currently raised $2323 so far - http://www.indiegogo.com/ataleofdeath?a=428106 - We don't have any of those nonsense perks either that drive me insane where they ask you for $25 and in return you get a postcard! We want to bring a high quality style of filmmaking to the web and a unique and original story, we have a good online following that seem to be a mix of True Blood, Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead fans and now we're looking for that little extra bit of exposure and help from indie filmmakers, any pledge is a pledge that helps. If there are any questions, just ask. Take care Lewis
