*If we succeed with this fundraiser, and potentially accumulate more funds than anticipated-- depending on how much more we accumulate, we will put everything towards more issues (after tier reward fulfillment), continuing on right after issue #4. Our ambitions with this series are massive.
*Official publication is our largest challenge and goal. Our plan is to continue to stockpile issues of Action Obelisk and continue to re-pitch with the release of each new issue until we inevitably receive acknowledgement from publishers. Afterwards, this series will support itself with bi-monthly releases. Until then, we are self-publishing and promoting.
ABOUT ME
Jaden Boland
I started making short films, comics, and a few short stories around 7-8 years old. Dozens and dozens of comics, nearly a hundred tiny little films or various lengths, all throughout my childhood and teenage years. I decided to go professional in Sophomore year, switching from writing scripts for videos I'd put on Youtube (plus a bunch of other miscellaneous and specific things) to writing feature screenplays. I then went to college for filmmaking in California. Now, at 24 years old, I have written about ten feature screenplays, three pilots, multiple episodes for each pilot, written and directed multiple short films, wrote and performed an album of about 20 songs, two specs, wrote, directed, produced, and co-starred in a web series, and a whole smattering of other miscellaneous things I've made. In terms of my comic writing, I have a series called Quantum. 25-30 pages each, #34 issues written so far (a high concept sci-fi post-apocalyptic zombie/monster comic. My huge project). Action Obelisk is at #35 issues, 22 pages each exactly. And #14 issues of a short horror story, called Oddity, I first wrote as a screenplay, then turned into a short film, and then turned into a comic. It’s in its concept stages. I think it'll give me a better chance of getting Action Obelisk picked up given the sheer size of this series. As of currently, I'm working at a job and putting all the money I make towards the comics.
