Ghek's Kickstarter/Indiegogo Backed movies where I am often in the kickstarter credits
These are mostly Arrowstorm Entertainment titles, they film in Utah, they almost always have projects worth watching and a lot of them involve Kevin Sorbo.
What does backing mean? Well for most of these movies the main photography is done but they want money for distribution and possibly some extra special effects to make it better. Depending on your choices on how you back the movie, you are probably buying the movie in advance and paying like twice as much. Worth it, I think! Of course some of the email updates can continue for years and may reach over one hundred per movie!

- DirectorAnne K. BlackStarsMelanie StoneAdam JohnsonJake StormoenThe young magician Marek dreams of exciting adventures. When she meets the help-seeking priestess Teela she offers her assistance and provides a motley troupe. Together they go in search of Teela's sister, who was kidnapped by a wild ogre.Mythica I, I am in the "k"(kickstarter) credits, really good movie....also backed the other four Mythica movies ("k" credits) and recently backed the book of the first movie (flip to like the last page, I am in the "k" credits. (in alpha listings look for me under the M section) This is a fun movie, the theme is having "A life of dignity" in a midevil/magic world.....here are the words to the song at the end. (Took me a while to figure them out)
The music is well matched to the action of the movie and the last song that goes with the credits is a true haunting gem that will stick with you......
Mythica: A Quest for Heroes
"I'll Be Free"
---------------
Born to fear
Born to be
traded, chained
property
Shadows lie
over me
I still choose
my destiny
From this height
I'll not tire
I'll be free
I'll be free
And I'll face
dragon fire
For a life
of Dignity
As the dark
closes in
Friends are closer
then they seem
By my love
spells or rage
I'll not live
long in a cage
If this ends
in Oger's breath
I'll be Free
I'll be Free
Blood and Steel
Heroes Dead
For a life
of Dignity
Tread them down
though I'm small
See me rise
watch them fall
And the road
seems less far
with you here
see me soar
Fly though night
til the dawn
If I fail
I'll die free
I'll rain down
fire storms
For a life

Last updated December 9, 2022 and they tacked on some stretch goals, some other things you can get...SO YAY....I thought it might be too much money.....but it happened. they did kick in a plus20 option to be listed in the credits...like the old days... when the movie is added to imdb, I can transfer this info to it's own listing. 3/6/2023:Which I have now done. And 4 $20 I am in the kickstarter credits, look for the Ghekmaster....I also have digital access to the 5 earlier movies.
Got the special Kickstarter Blueray Edition signed by six actors/others with my name in the kickstarter credits on 2/15/2024 and have now watched it on 2/17/2024. So much has changed with the style and surroundings that it will take 2 watches to get used to it...as it is more personal story driven with everyone having a past as they relate things they know sometimes at swordspoint. They gather on a dark and stormy night at dwarf Gib's Road Inn at Desolation's End. One of the best quotes "Witches don't ride horses.....they ride the wind"....many locals have not survived the last few days so it's a bit like Clue the game...some in the Inn will be carried out.....There is quite a bit about slave rules at the current time and some of it is light hearted. Some slaves are like family....life is rough all around as dark magic reasserts itself in the dark. - DirectorRob YorkStarsBrandon Ray OliveK. Danor GeraldWhitney PalmerAfter NASA picks up a trio of mysterious signals from within our own solar system, astronaut Roger Nelson is dispatched on a multi-year solo mission aboard the Magellan spacecraft to investigate the sources.Backed, but I am not in the credits...kept me guessing, a bit like Contact, Arrival and a bit like 2001 A space oddessy..I enjoyed it..an Arrowstorm Entertainment movie

Hey the kickstarter version blueray showed up..mid sept 2017...now I have to watch it....
3/25/2018 - ok, watched the movie tonight and enjoyed it...626 (Danielle C. Ryan - currently) wakes up and doesn't remember anything...its sort of a mix between "Hardcore Harry" and "The Maze" but on a much lower budget in a nice normal urban area for the most part. Her movements are tracked by sattalites and cameras...there is a younger girl who is ill and has runaway to find her as they may be related in some fashion ...some french guy keeps sending people to grab her. When anything happens, the police just send them home to a foster parent or boyfriend...besides being parkour enabled and trained in hand to hand, she finds that she can do other things by using her mind...outside of a kind teacher there are no emotional attachements and the "sisters" bond to protect each other while they try to figure it out.
Ouside of a noir overcommentray by the younger girl who always knows whats going to happen next that can be annoying at times as the "experiment" runs it's course....it holds your attention in a slightly frustrating way...but the answers are worth the wait. - DirectorRob ThomasStarsKristen BellJason DohringEnrico ColantoniYears after walking away from her past as a young private eye, Veronica Mars gets pulled back to her hometown, just in time for her high school reunion, in order to help her old flame Logan Echolls, who's embroiled in a murder mystery.Backed on kickstarter.....on the first day before it hit the first goal as I heard it mentioned on my radio around noon. Am I in the credits, I think so, have to check, nope, way too many of us....91,585 backers pledged $5,702,153 to help bring this project to life. 7,260 chose my same kickstarter package...

- DirectorMarie-Grete HeinemannStarsPeter DobsonKevin InterdonatoClaudia ChristianIn a city full of criminals, what difference do two more make?backed on Indeiegogo....44 backers....a pilot for a tv series....2014....(I have the dvd)...why? because it has Lori (bartender/producer Amanda Clayton - played civil war wife "Sarah Carter" in Disney's John Carter....some literary minded folk might find it funny that she was a Clayton playing a Carter......at least its funny in the ERB universe)....
Update: 3/21/2018 - the pilot has been expanded into a movie for 2018...available March 30th 2018 Itunes and may also be on Amazon. (pre ordered for $4.99 on Itunes...)
UPdate: 4/1/2018 - Amanda's character Lori gets an extra thirty seconds in a pre-extension of the pilot bar scene at Jones Cafe in West Hollywood..long enough for a conversation with undercover cop Mickey Rady (Kevin Interdonato)...in a legion of corrupt cops, he is "less" corrupt...and with his con man silent partner, Kook Packard (Peter Dobson) who specializes in ripping off crooks, Micky plans to bust a big drug deal with the mayors son in which only half the money and drugs will be turned over...things don't go exatly as planned and they both could end up on the hook...for this edition they included the Indegogo pilot backers so I am listed in the credits!... now streaming availabe at Itunes or Amazon for $10...the amazon version looks and sounds better to me..3.5 out of 5 stars This concludes our Amanda update. - DirectorTimo VuorensolaStarsLara RossiVladimir BurlakovKit DaleA follow-up to the film Iron Sky (2012) in which Nazis plan to take over the world after lying dormant in a secret military base on the moon.Iron Sky 2 ...Backed on Indiegogo...doesn't look like I am in the crdits....the first movie was so much fun!
$655,249 USD total funds raised

Film release was going to be Feb 2018..now - August 22nd in Finland followed by the rest of the world soon after...that will be nice...
Update 1/26/2019...looks like it will be summer 2019 before I get my disk...not sure when its being released in the USA yet... Update 8/15/2019 - got an email with a viemo link for the new movie last week...disk to follow in a few weeks or months!...Update10/20/2019 No disk yet, watched the streaming, I am not in the credits but it is fun with alien reptiles being the President ("sarah palin"), Hitler, Steve Jobs, etc Julia Dietze is back as a older Nazi mother now, but can still goose step with the best at the end...And the ending implied a third movie...on the red planet perhaps...And there is an "The Ark: An Iron Sky Story" in some stage of production involving two chiniese students trying to decode a signal from the moon with $25mil budget from China. - DirectorRob YorkStarsChelsea JurkiewiczTanner GillmanColin CunninghamHigh school teenagers accidentally unleash an ancient Irish entity on their hometown and must stop it before midnight on Halloween.10/13/2022 Kickstarter backed for credit with 29 hours left to go...they still needed about $2000 and it was looking very iffy....I opted for the VHS kickstarter (only 31 allowed with 22 available) which also included the Blueray Fan Pack with some nice poster and other items in addition to the special kickstarter BlueRAY with extra features.. Then to help out more I added on the digital 4k 5 movie Mythica set. It was still looking iffy but fans came thru with about 8 hours left, enough time to work on a stretch goal $20,744 pledged of $20,000 goal
289 backers, 3 hours to go currently....the goal of this kickstarter backing was to provide the disk/VHS other fun stuff option to fans for a movie that was going to be stream release "only" ...the movie looks to be fun, rather then a gorefest, perhaps something similar to Leprecaun...perhaps I can learn more about my Irish heritage legends from it..... -Now... can we hit our Stretch Goal of 300 backers? If we do everyone will get some awesome illustrations from the movie. But we shall see...10 hours and counting..(2 hours left, 290 backers)...Ended..I am backer # 266 of 293 backers which pledged $21,000 to help bring this project to life. In the kickstarter comments area I left the link to this list to inspire others to list their accomplishments and special insights to the process.

ALADDIN 3477: The Motion Picture Trilogy
Star Wars Artist Matt Busch unleashes his own epic saga, 3 sci-fi feature films based on the Arabian Nights tale.
By Matt Busch 354% funded 48 days left 118 backers, goal 10,000...all you have to do is choose from some big swag sets I chose #1 with addon's, I couldn't resist the Indiana Jones world artifact map. And I will just have to wait for the blueray to come out (swag set 4 is pricy), but I will have a princess tshirt, and other cool items some of which are mysteries at this point. Love the Princess tshirt and Indiana Joes map...Since I bought Swag #1, they were doing a special and I found I could get Swag #4 a lot cheaper because I had already bought a swag...might be a loophole as it implied I had already bought #4 (which includes the blueray). We will find out if I get it in a ew months (today 2/18/2024). Matt has spent years gathering location virtual possibilities from many places to create great sets. It's sort of Star Wars meets the magic Jinn. - StarsDoug JonesCasper Van DienJohn BillingsleyA massive alien ship rips Manhattan out of the ground and brings it on board, along with its 2 million inhabitants. Is this some sort of cosmic zoo exhibit, part of a scientific experiment, or perhaps fresh groceries for the aliens?I just checked and it's 71% backed with 54 days to go. This is to produce the Pilot Episode for the TV series with the story from the novel by John E. Stith where aliens steal Manhattan. Lots of Star Trek people involved. Some main actors Casper Van Dien (yes!), Walter Koenig, Tim Russ, Doug Jones, John Billingsley, Dominic Keating, Bonnie Gordon, Jennifer Wenger......... I chose the $150 option that Includes:
digital movie poster
behind the scenes videos and photos
pilot episode stream, DVD/Blu-ray
Manhattan Transfer t-shirt
thank you in the credits
2 hour behind-the-scenes live streams
One month Atomic Video membership.
In addition since I backed within 48 hours I get a digital copy of the original novel. For those autograph hounds they have several of the 25 autographed hardback novels left. (The T-Shirt option is $100 plus a lot of this stuff.) This was the cheapest thank you in the credits option, so, why not. Sky Rocket Pictures on backerkit 4/9/2024 on vacation.
