The series is a light hearted take on the personalities, luminaries, and characters in the scifi community we are privileged to call ourselves members. Con Man is a way to share some of the surreal occurrences we’ve we have had have had, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.
I wanted to make a show that featured all of my favorite convention artists and friends together. Not only that, I wanted to celebrate the world where heroes, villains, zombie hunters, and space pirates all overlap. I especially wanted to work with my friend Nathan Fillion again.
How Can You Be Involved?
I would like to direct your attention to the giant wall of rewards to the right with dollar amounts attached. The rewards are great but more than that, every dollar you spend goes to creating the world of Con Man.
Want examples? $5? You just bought some sharpies for signing. $10? You bought fruit for the fruit basket that gets stolen from Wray in episode 2. $100? You just bought the furry costume head of a Vardak Warrior worn by the “second best motion capture artist,” Nigel Thrice. $1000? You just rented Nathan’s character some skis and bought the fake snow that will stick to his wavy locks.
If you can’t support us with dollars then your enthusiasm and support is equally valuable – tweet, facebook, tumblr, linkedin, myspace, friendster, ICQ the project as much as you can. Don’t be afraid to use morse code or smoke signals. Talk about it with friends and associates at work, comic shops, dog parks, and all secret or not-so-secret gatherings. Spreading the word about the campaign is just as important! We’re so thankful for any support you can offer during our campaign.
