It has been on the hearts of my wife and I to produce a short film based on our comic book character, Black Tiger, for a number of years. After one failed attempt and much prayer we are finally stepping out in this regard. We have been blessed to get commitments from Robin Shou (Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat) and Angela Fong (former WWE Diva) to star in the film. The budget seemed daunting, but we moved forward in faith. We set up an Indiegogo Campaign, believing God put this on our hearts as the means to fully fund the film. Needless to say it was slow going and at times discouraging. While we never trended to hit the full budget, God used the Indiegogo Campaign to introduce us to the promoters of Alamo City Comic Con, opening a door for us to partner with them. Now ACCC is screening the first look at the film along with the original Mortal Kombat at their show as part of their "VIP Mortal Kombat/ Black Tiger ticket" package. He also orchestrated through the generosity of people on the production side of the film for the film budget to be cut tremendously so the contributions we received from the Indiegogo Campaign do cover production.
God has been so good to us. We are a few thousand dollars short of covering our post-production costs, but we know He will provide. If God puts it on your heart to contribute that would be greatly appreciated and you can get some great perks in return (http://www.beyondtimecomics.com/flix/). More importantly, please pray for us to continue to trust in God’s provision and His ways. Nothing has worked as we expected, but He’s undoubtedly working it all out. Isaiah 55:9 says "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Lord may we all trust your ways and thoughts.
God bless,
John
