Had a brief e-mail exchange with Jess the other day and as a result I sent the following e-mail to SciFi Wire to try and get them to do a story on Artemis:
I am a 39-year-old Information Technology Consultant and Science Fiction/Fantasy fan writing to you today to recommend an outstanding story for SciFi Wire – Jessica Mae Stover and her Artemis Eternal project. When I find an author, movie, or show that I truly enjoy I market it to friends, family, and whoever else will listen. For example, I talked up Joss Whedon’s Firefly and purchased multiple copies of the series DVDs for family. Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, recently called Firefly “one of the best TV shows aired.”
I feel just as passionately about Ms. Stover’s project, Artemis Eternal. Artemis Eternal is the revolutionary, premier, crowd-funded, professionally-led, studio-quality scifi/fantasy film with absolutely no studio intervention. This unprecedented approach to production tackles issues of media consolidation, independence, and a lack of diversity and story purity in cinema. It is, quite simply, an anti-JarJar Binks movement made possible by a growing host of movie-going audience members dubbed “Wingmen” who are responsible for much of the Artemis Eternal financing, marketing, and enthusiasm. The Artemis Eternal journey is documented online via the award-winning and highly trafficked Artemis Eternal web experience (www.ArtemisEternal.com), so Ms. Stover has a strong existing community which a story on SciFi Wire could help grow even further.
I therefore ask that you please post an article on Jessica Mae Stover's project. I've attached a document with additional project information. I look forward to your decision, and welcome any feedback you can provide. Thanks for your time.
Is is pretty much a re-hash of what I sent to The Colbert Report, but when you have two kids at home (one under 2 months old) you don't have a lot of time for original material. Suggest Wingmen send additional requests. The contact information for SciFi Wire is:
