âLights Out,â the survival fiction novel by David Crawford, is being made into a movie series, and theyâre looking for investors. Like many independent projects, theyâre giving the community a chance to kick in a portion, and as thanks, theyâll hook up donors with some sweet swag.
With over three million copies downloaded, âLights Outâ is an action-based survival thriller that takes place in a world where civilization has collapsed. It has been praised for its realistic and well-developed characters, solid action and believable premise.
Written with an eye on authentic survival and action, âLights Outâ has developed a strong following, especially for an indie book. Strong enough that Crawford thinks they can produce a movie series based on the book themselves, with a little help from the audience.
âYears in the making, the Lights Out Saga is finally here! We dare to bypass the Hollywood gatekeepers to make something for our community. This timely story not only reminds us of how fragile our modern society is, but just how important friends, family and freedom are as well.
âWe are coming to you, our community, and asking that you become a part of this huge undertaking. Your pledge will help us keep the story true to the book, cast actors you help us choose, and create a saga that will entertain, inform, and inspire.â
The âLights Out Sagaâ will be in-part âcrowd-sourced,â letting individuals donate as little as $10 and as much as $1,000 to see this project come to life.
Theyâre already ahead of schedule with their fundraiser on Indiegogo, having raised over $6,000 on their first day. They need to raise $175,000 and have 34 days to go (at the time of writing this).
It doesnât hurt that donors will be rewarded. Donations of $10 get you a bit more than a pat on the back, with exclusive access to behind-the-scenes content and special insider updates. Donors who contribute $50 also get a pre-ordered copy of the Limited-Edition DVD, a âLights Outâ sticker and a custom âLights Out hand towel. Yep.
Things get interesting at the $300 point, thatâs where 5.11 Tactical steps in. A big supporter of action and thriller fiction, 5.11 Tactical will be giving away a 5.11 Rush 12 backpack, a 5.11 âLights Outâ watchcap and hat and a 5.11 âLights Outâ ATAC PLx Flashlight. All that in addition to a pre-ordered copy of the DVD and the early extras. The 5.11 Tactical gear retails for more than $200 by itself, so itâs a pretty slick deal.
For donors who hit the $1,000 mark, they will receive all the above along with a commemorative âLights Out Challengeâ coin, producer credit on IMDB, a signed screenplay by the cast, a signed copy of âLights Outâ, a signed Noveske âThree Gun Hero DVDâ and a personal thank you call from David Crawford.
There are only a few things that get me truly excited as an absolute precision-rifle junkie, and the American-made Steiner Optics T6Xi 5-30x56 riflescope is one of those things.
We got a sneak peek at Taran Tactical Innovationsâ Pit Viper â a $7,000 custom-built ultimate 2011 â from the âJohn Wick: Chapter 4â movie set to release in March 2023.
Boasting classy lines, a well-recognized pedigree, and great ergos for a small all-steel gun, Smith & Wessonâs take on the Walther PPK/s aimed to revive an old carry king in the increasingly polymer-focused concealed carry market.
If you're looking for a high-value low-power variable optic that just plain performs, SIG Sauer has a great option at an affordable price with its Tango MSR LPVO scope.
