East of Byzantium: War Gods and Warrior Saints is a two-part special Docu-tainment miniseries, featuring among other unique elements, experts from the original Lord of the Rings Trilogy, as well as an original score by Serj Tankian. The Producers of this remarkable project are looking for financial angels who can help it overcome the expenses of the weeks lost during pre-production. 

This Spring, after 12 years of unrelenting effort, the documentary production of East of Byzantium: War Gods and Warrior Saints set sail. The producers just returned from three weeks of filming in Armenia and  are prepping for the large battle recreation scenes here in Los Angeles. As has been the case throughout these 12 years of development, there have been setbacks and big bumps in the road. The final one came in March and almost derailed the project forever.

Three days after depositing the final investor check, one of the investors was taken over by the SEC. This had a domino effect and ended up delaying the production by 6 weeks, costing the show unexpected thousands of dollars in legal fees and staff time. The producer team mounted a formidable defense and, much like the nation of Armenia, stood their ground and held their territory.

Without financial reinforcement at this critical moment however, this stunning and ground-breaking production may not achieve its ultimate goal of a network premiere shortly after the first of the year, the 100th Anniversary of the Genocide.

Our Goal is $40,000, with a good chunk of funds raised to be  earmarked to fund the stand-out look  and visual effects being produced by Roger Kupelian (VFX Artist from "Lord of the Rings," "Flags of Our Fathers," etc.).
