We're back online

Yes this is a random photo of one of our lovely Vampires, Cat D. Cat currently plays Scarlet the Vampire in our most recent episode Monsters Vs. Cops. Please check it out.

Servers are back up. Hoping that everyone is able to reach Monstercops.com

We're getting down to it now. And we need more pledges. So please do what you can to spread the word, and if you can, please, PLEASE, make a pledge. You can pledge as low as $1. JUST $1!!!!

Sorry. Didn't mean to yell.



As I've stated before, we'll be going ahead with a new episode soon. But only if we get the funding in can we, for sure, do more than 1 episode (3 more, possibly 4, which would make a total of 5 or 6). And if we get the funding then we can definitely setup digital downloads, and of course the special edition DVD Series 1 of Monster Cops.

We'll continue to pump out as much Monster Cops content as we can. Our ultimate goal is to provide those digital downloads, put out DVD's, and at the sametime create an equal amount of free content for you to see on the website, for as long as we can, and as long as people like it.

If we can reach our goal of $4,000 then it's all good. If we do not reach that goal in the next 15 days, then the pledges go away, and we'll resign ourselves to producing what we can when we can, which means 2 year hiatus between episodes.

Thank you so much to those who have pledged so far. And thank you to all those who've messaged us, tweeted us, emailed us, your messages of support for our series. Gotten alot of really great feedback from everyone about the newest episode Monsters Vs. Cops. So glad you guys like the ending, I was rather proud of it.

The next episode is the Vampire episode. Alot of Vampire vs. Military action. Can't wait to get started, and I hope we'll have the funding soon to really nail that episode, and make that one as great as it can be.

We hope to have some screenings coming up at different fests and venues and we'll be sure to let you guys know when those come up.

If you're interested in being a Vampire or auditioning for the next episode and you can make it out to the Winston Salem, NC area, feel free to message me through the contact form. http://www.monstercops.com/contact

Thanks again to all our supporters. If we can raise this money, I will sleep with all of you (not really).

Let's Make It Happen

We've been hard at work trying to raise that money. 18 days left on Kickstarter and we really need more pledges.



If you can, make a pledge. You can pledge as low as $1. If you can't then please tell a friend. Heck tell all your friends.

Here are the last few Vlogs we've put out:

Monster Cops makes a love connection.






Chris, Brandon, (and even Patrick) dance for your pledges.






Danielle joins in and pleads for your money.






Here's a clip from the last Episode "Monsters Vs. Cops"






If we raise the money then we'll be working on at least 3 episodes this summer. If we don't raise it, we'll do what we've always done and make the best with what little we've got. We'll be producing at least one more episode this Summer, whether we get the money or not.

Next episode is Monster Cops: Dead By Dawn. It's the Vampire episode, and I really can't wait to get started on it.

A couple people have messaged me and asked what the long term goal for Monster Cops is and do we always plan on putting our stuff online for free.

The plan is to continue to make as much content that we can and put the majority of it online. If we put out a DVD, I'd definitely want to have content that you would only see on the DVD. So if we produced a total of 8 episodes, I'd probably put 5 of them online, with the full line up available on DVD or for Digital Download. But I'd want to continue to create as many Minisodes/Webisodes as we can, and continue to make those available for free.

I want to be able to provide as much free content as possible, make enough money off of it to create bigger and better content, and at the sametime provide content you can purchase and own yourself. All the while raising money for charities. If you come to the website, I want you to be able to have alot of content to consume. If you want to purchase a DVD or Digital Download, then I want you to have something unique and special for your money.

I'm always looking into to new ways to get our content out, and I've been studying as many new (and old) business models and distribution strategies as I can.

However we can, we'll continue to make Monster Cops and get it out to you anyway possible.

Well, as long as you like it, which judging by alot of the comments and messages, you do. So thank you.

KICKSTARTER

It's been a busy couple of days and it's not slowing down.

First off I've been trying to fix some issues with the site. So some pages are incomplete and some video players aren't working properly. But all will be well tonight.

Second. WE WERE APPROVED OVER AT KICKSTARTER!

We're trying several different routes to get the funding we need to get the rest of the episodes finished in time to get a DVD out by Halloween, and one of those ways is with Kickstarter. It' s web site that helps you get set up to accept donations for your creative projects. They're being picky about what projects they help out right now, and they've totally approved Monster Cops.

So do me a favor. Click on the Widget below, and find out how you can help us get funding. We're offering some very interesting rewards for your donations. We have 32 days to raise $4000. So please help us out, and spread the word.
