Our Project:
We are planning to make a short film about Velica, a vigilante seeking to avenge her father’s untimely death. We believe that Velica is a solid character, who female readers and watchers of all ages will identify with; as both a source of strength and perseverance.
This is a good time to be a comic creator, especially with the overwhelming support that people have given to comic book screen adaptations. We are not simply doing this to say “Yes, we can do it too,” but more importantly to show that we can deliver an authentic comic book adaptation about a character who has a growing cult following; and meld it into something, which even more people can discover and enjoy.
Who is Velica?
Velica is a vigilante fighting for justice. When she was still a teenager, a trusted family friend killed Velica’s father over a business deal gone wrong. Her quest is a long, hard fought battle that illustrates not only what happens when a person fights their Parents' wars, but also what happens when they're fighting their own. Velica doesn’t have super powers. She uses raw strength, skill, and determination to accomplish her missions.
What do we plan to achieve?
We have done a lot of initial groundwork for Velica. We have produced 5 issues of the comic book in the UK and sold them at various conventions and comic shops throughout the territory. The first editions were originally printed in black and white with full colour covers. Our next steps are to produce the "Velica" short film, re-release "Velica Comics" issues #1-5, and publish issue #6. We also hope to turn what has been a labour of love for us into a full time adventure for Team Velica too.

WE NEED YOUR HELP
In order to move Velica up to the next level, we need YOUR help. Between the 4 of us, we have delivered countless projects for others. These projects have ranged from music videos, documentaries, and short films, to theatre productions, digital projects (ranging from product campaigns on to full corporate website launches), and more. We have the combined skills and knowledge necessary to successfully and efficiently deliver this project. And, TOGETHER with YOUR help we can turn this dream project into a true reality to grow on! By helping us out, and joining us on this adventure you are becoming not only part of Velica's future, but you can also own a piece of Velica-history in the making. We want you to feel just as excited about this project as we do, if not more so. Invest whatever you can and remember - YOU are helping to make this short film happen.
DOLLARS, EUROS AND YEN ARE GOOD HERE, TOO :)
I know, there is a little bit of confusion around why the perks are in pounds instead of dollars. Well, since we are based in the UK, we had to use the local currency settings. But, rest assured, your money is good here, too. That means that where ever you are in the world, Paypal will convert the cash for you so you don't have to worry about doing the conversion yourself. You can also contribute by credit or debit card.
Thank you so much from all of us at Team Velica!!
