Starship Moonhawk: The Motion Picture

Starship Moonhawk: The Fire and the Forge – A Prokontopolis Studios, LLC Production. Starring Michael C. Prokop, Nicole Mac Arthur, Leon Saunders, David Johnathon Doyle Garry, Olivia Jean Brown, James Larabee and More!
Before they were the heroes you know, they were an untested crew on an experimental ship…
The Moonhawk is called to the Armstrong Observatory in the Outer Rim Region of space to investigate a new Crysallis super weapon; a weapon capable of stopping nuclear fusion in a star. When they arrive, they discover the base is destroyed. In pursuit of the Crysallis ship responsible for the attack, the Moonhawk is commandeered by Vice Admiral Torrance Colson, a man with a dark history in Naval Intelligence and a sinister secret about to be revealed. Commodore Gilliad Cobalt is forced into the unenviable position of choosing between loyalty to his former mentor and committing mutiny on a hunch because the cost of war is too great for him to go along with a lie. The question remains: will he pull it off, in spite of having a new crew that knows nothing about him? Or is he about to become the first casualty in a war nobody can win…
Throughout 2016, we will be beginning casting and pre-production on “Starship Moonhawk: The Fire and the Forge” for simultaneous release with the prequel novel of the same name. I’ve been working on TFatF since September of 2009 and it is the most complex, sophisticated and exciting Starship Moonhawk novel to-date… and now it is being primed for a major animated motion picture by yours truly. Keep an eye on this space as this project gains traction and we attach more talent to the roster.

Starship Moonhawk: The Death of Perseus Short Film

Perseus_Poster2

As if the big movie announcement wasn’t great enough, we are here to tell you that BEFORE the launch of our Magnum Opus on the “Big Screen”, there will be an ultra-small screen release right here on the Official Website! That’s right, folks: “The Death of Perseus” will be a short film rather than an audiobook. Keith Wood and I are finishing the process off in Anime Studio and will have it out hopefully by Summer of this year. Here’s the synopsis:

“The Moonhawk receives what appears to be a distress call from a remote planet in an unstable star system. When they arrive, they discover that the planet is breaking apart and will destroy itself in a matter of hours. With no time to spare, Commodore Cobalt sends Sorthac and Lt. Commander Harrison with a small team in a shuttle to see if there is anyone to actually rescue. What they find on the surface is more than they bargained for: The Fezzini Federation has an outpost they are attempting to evacuate and our crew gets a fiery welcome that strands them on the planet. As the clock starts to run out, Sorthac and Harrison must engineer a daring escape while Cobalt and the Moonhawk try and figure out a way to assist them, lest they all become victims of ‘the Death of Perseus’.”

Set for Summer 2016 release.

Patreon and Such (Movie, Books, Etc.)

So, on the Moonhawk Studios Presents podcast, I have explained that going forward, Starship Moonhawk will be seeking funding in a multitude of ways. First, you may already know about: Patreon. Through the Patreon page, we have a limited cashflow which is intended to revive the comic and bring it back to the Net. That won’t change much, however, since the money is going to me anyway (Keith is now producer/director on the films and will not have time to work the comic), I will be re-directing it into the various movie and video projects we have coming up instead.

For the movie itself, we plan to use either Kickstarter or IndieGoGo to collect a fixed amount of money to make the film. (whichever service makes more sense.) So, I don’t want anyone feeling like we are planning to “double dip”. I made that mistake once before, and I won’t do it again. So, just to be clear: the Patreon’s primary function is to get the WEBCOMIC back in order (it’s governed under my PUBLISHING label), while the IGG/Kickstarter campaign is all about making the movie, 100%. (The movie will be made under my production company, as will all subsequent video projects.) To recap: the two funding engines will be focusing on different aspects of the operation here. Not to say there won’t be crossover on the rewards, but the INTENT is to cover two different projects with different methods. So I hope nobody is confused by this.

Lastly, I will be opening up shop on DriveThru Comics to sell some of the existing works of the series to try and drum up additional revenue. I haven’t forgotten about the digital/print editions of the new-and-improved “The Death of Perseus”, the basis for our first short film. That should be available via CreateSpace before you know it.

Anyway, that’s a more complete, but not entirely exhaustive list of ways you can support any of the three parts of the Starship Moonhawk continuum. Obviously, we still have the old donations page up, and we are not ashamed to give you sexy pinups for straight up donations. Every, single, dollar counts.

Thanks!

Keith W. Joins the Cast

by admin on October 19, 2016 at 9:08 pm

You all recall my old pal, Keith W., who draws Mysteries of the Arcana and for a time, The Lavenders, right? Well, coming VERY SOON, he will be drawing Starship Moonhawk again, and I will be coloring. We are trying to get Act III done ASAP so we can get it and the closing acts of this storyline completed, once and for all. It’s been a strange, 13-year journey with many missteps and a lot of high points, but I want to put this chapter of my life to rest. A large motivating factor for this is that an actual animated feature has never been more imminent, and I need to clear my creative slate so I can focus on it. Which means completing “The Fire and the Forge”, which is the basis for said film. so, watch this space, Cadets. the Moonhawk will be blasting its way back to your screens before you know it.

In case you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been saying a lot (Remember when I used to do Blog Monday? XD), it’s because I’ve been up to my whoozits and my whatsitz getting THIS done with the help of Alex Womack and Keith W., our new artist! Check out the details on my Facebook, but also be sure to like and subscribe to my channel on youTube. As we prepare Pt. 2, I will be offering insights and director/producer commentary. Be sure to join the Patreon and help fund this monumental undertaking as it is removing time from everyone’s calendar that we should be using not to become homeless! So every dollar helps. 😉
