Immortal Studios

I'm a giant nerd. I love movies, sci fi, fantasy, comic books, anime, video games, and martial arts. So of course I'd be attracted to a company like Immortal Studios, which is bringing the wuxia (martial heroes) genre to comic books and beyond. They launched their first Kickstarter campaign on June 15th 2020 to raise money for their first title, "The Adept". They ended up raising $35,165 from 1,205 backers, more than three times their $10,000 goal. The comic has already been completed and will be shipping to backers soon. I read a digital copy and thought it was well done; the art was good and it left me curious to see what happens next. Additionally, Immortal Studios owns the exclusive rights to Shiao Yi's library of 60+ stories. Shiao Yi is one of the most famous wuxia writers and happens to be Peter's dad. It has been Peter's lifelong dream to bring his dad's work to the next generation by creating a wuxia universe based on his father's library. I'm a big believer of starting small & focused, finding something that works, and then growing from there. This is why I like Immortal's "comic book as MVP" strategy as well as the results of their first Kickstarter campaign. It's taking a Silicon Valley approach to Hollywood. This is an opportunity to do something special with Immortal and help Peter take the next step towards his vision.
