THE LOST CHILDREN — Kickstarter

via kickstarter.com

Now here's an interesting transmedia idea - launch a fundraiser for streamlined content...see project summary below:

BASIC GOAL
Raise $3000 for our transmedia campaign. Transmedia typically refers to alternate content produced in support of a film. LOST has Dharma videos on their site. THE WATCHMEN produced a number of 70s-looking cartoons, and newscasts for the web, all set in the alternate reality of story. Joss Whedon produced Buffy comics.

We're looking to take this concept a bit further though, and tailor the alternate content to the devices it will be shown on. For instance, our first iPhone application not only gives you secret messages from certain characters, but also makes phone calls to those characters. It also might give you information you can use to access secret web content on our site.

STORY SUMMARY
THE LOST CHILDREN is a 90 minute docu-drama about Evelyn Hamilton and The Lost Children. The Lost Children is a recently active cult that was led by the mysterious Chance Sturges. They believe that they are not human, but are instead aliens from another world, stranded here on Earth for thousands of years.

Sturges is a boogieman, a myth. No one knows if he is real or not. He's only known through videos gathered from The Lost Children website, and some rumors of his possible past:

Evelyn Hamilton was a trust-fund kid who joined the cult in 2008, and rapidly became known as "The Alpha". The Alpha is recognized as having abilities beyond those of the ordinary members. The Alpha may forego the usual training that other members must endure. There is only one Alpha, and she sits just below "The Father", Chance Sturges himself. There is a rumored sexual relationship between The Father and The Alpha as well, with some possible evidence of such a relationship here: http://www.youtube.com/watch....

The Lost Children await the arrival of their mother ship, hiding within the Tioga comet. But time is running out. Because there are others approaching; The K'Taan, a primitive race known also as "The Elder Ones", or "The First Ones". The K’Taan travel through space on an asteroid in a dormant state. When they find a world with life, they awaken and feed until that world is dead.

Now, the K'Taan approach Earth. And Evelyn Hamilton believes she is the only one who can stop them.
