Here at Fanbase Press, we strive to provide an outlet for up-and-coming creators to promote and showcase their incredible works. With thousands of creators utilizing crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to make those works a reality, we will highlight these talented creators and their noteworthy campaigns through #CrowfundingFridays! We hope that you will join us in giving these projects a moment of your time (and possibly your support)!
Project #1: Cycles
What it’s about: For nearly 20 years, Vanessa and Isaac have had repeated summer flings, but were never emotionally available for each other at the same time. As adults, they reunite and try to pick things up where they left off. A side note about the short film is that it hits those nostalgia buttons. The story chronicles Vanessa and Isaac’s relationship over 20 years (late ’90s to now), so it’ll be a great throwback for audiences who are really into that kinda thing while also triggering their memories of their first love.
The coolest backer reward: One of the backer awards is a legit mixtape – that is, a curated Spotify playlist recorded on a Maxell cassette tape for the glamorous donation of $100! I am super proud of how great it sounds, as this was not an easy task to create in 2019!

Project #2: Power & Magic Volume 2
What it’s about: Power & Magic: The Queer Witch Comics Anthology is a series of Young Adult fantasy comics starring queer witches of color. The witch is a symbol of power for women across the world: She represents defiance, transcendence, healing, feminine monstrosity, and connection with the natural and supernatural worlds. From her wands and flora, to her bonds of kinship, Power & Magic Volume 2 explores what gives each witch her power and how she’ll choose to use it. In addition to this 200+ page, black-and-white, softcover anthology, we’re also reviving the long-out-of-stock Power & Magic Volume 1 with its first-ever reprinting. This award-winning series of anthologies is for everyone who loves fantasy that reflects the richness of our world and our lived experiences. Combine that with our track record of gorgeously produced books and illustrated rewards, and this is a campaign you won’t want to miss!

Project #3: Flux #1
What it’s about: Flux #1 is a 22-page, full-color comic. The first issue in a 4-issue mini-series. It’s a sci-fi thriller comic about the threat of time travel, government-issued wearable tech, and one detective’s search for the truth.
The coolest backer reward: The preview of Issue 2 that you get if you go for our top tier package, as you’ll be able to see some of that uncoloured months before anyone else.
