This is it, folks. Hand on my heart, this is the vision and purpose behind our stretch goals. However, we have a mountain to climb in order to reach them. We need everyone who believes in the return of Amicus Productions to please consider upgrading and chipping in even more today or over the next 72 hours, so that we can get closer to our stretch goals.
I say this humbly, as Amicus Productions is far more important than myself, but I have and will continue to devote my life to its revival. I know that the opportunity these buildings represent for the future of Amicus is truly something sacred. This belief is shared by a match pledger willing to match 50% of pledges made during the next 72 hours.
But, if I'm asking folks to chip in even more and to spread the word, what can they get in return? Today, we've added new, additional rewards to make things more exciting and interesting for our backers.
Following a great Victorian tradition, we've devised personal rewards that connect our pledgers to the buildings we propose to use for Amicus Productions. These rewards are available in three tiers: "Pledge for a Brick," "Your Name in Stone," and "Name a Room."
My favorite is "Your Name in Stone," which will see your name placed on a stone monument. However, for larger pledges, the "Name a Room" reward is particularly special, allowing us to name a room or part of the building after someone very special to you. The "Pledge for a Brick" reward follows a delightful tradition wherein the community would each buy a symbolic brick to fund a building. In this case, each pledger receives a beautiful certificate depicting the building they've helped Amicus to acquire, signed by me, along with a placement in our permanent online record of patrons, which will be made available on our website.
Please get in touch with any queries, questions or ideas you might have for these pledges, and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Indie Horror Studio Hex Studios, the famed creators of the Lord of Tears Owlman, and Hex Arcana Publishing are making their goodies available for our Amicus Productions campaign. I've produced many films with Hex Studios, which I've operated for years alongside Sarah Daly.
Now, you can pledge for any of our previous horror movies, which are also available in beautiful Special Editions—in regular, signed, or signed and dedicated versions. Furthermore, we also have two gorgeous books available for pledge, produced by Hex Arcana Publishing. These are hardback books of original horror short stories, crammed with beautiful illustrations by artist James Olley.
Before I share an exciting new reward, let me humbly thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of Amicus Productions for the huge and generous support you've given our campaign so far.
As of this moment, we've (touch wood) just reached our first stretch goal. As promised, this means we will cast someone very special in our film. But who could that be? Charlotte Rampling? Stephanie Beachum? Who would you like to see in "In the Grip of Terror"?
And what about the artist for the second poster? Who would you like to see?"
After the huge success and popularity of our "Hammer Glamour Reward," we're now producing a glorious "Amicus Glamour Reward." This includes two photo sets inspired by Ingrid Pitt's vampiric performance from "The House That Dripped Blood," along with two bonus sets absolutely free. This is available as an add-on reward, which you can easily add to an existing pledge.
Just hit 'Manage Pledge,' choose 'Change Pledge,' then select the same pledge you did before. From the list of add-ons, you can find our Amicus Glamour Reward and add it to your pledge!
Of course, it goes without saying that the more resources we have to make "In the Grip of Terror," the better our film will be. But what about the future? Now we have the chance to expand our plans beyond just producing our film. We can also raise funds to help us secure a long-term future for Amicus Productions, one that places you in the driving seat with access to our unique Amicus Studio Group.
I believe that we want Amicus Productions to be back for good. That means I'm on the hunt to find Amicus a home and to help it develop the necessary tools so that it can function as a studio production company and distributor. I want it to make more films, and I want to give everyone who wants to help us the necessary tools to make our revival of Amicus a success.
Tomorrow, I'll be visiting a prospective site that might fit the bill, and you can expect pictures and a video, along with new reward announcements to help us achieve the impossible. To give Amicus a home we could work from, a home that you could visit. Imagine that!
Our pledgers can get in touch if they would like to know about what we can offer. This may be of particular interest to our producer pledgers as well.
