Tim Powers Film - Kickstarter
Some months ago, Arcana Pictures optioned the television and film rights to Tim Powers' World Fantasy Award-winning novel Last Call. Now they want to raise money to film a scene from the book. The purpose is to use the scene to pitch a larger project. They're using Kickstarter to raise the capital so dig into your pockets and the back of your closet and pledge. More details are available via the link.

Tim Powers Update — THE BIBLE REPAIRMAN AND OTHER STORIES
Tim Powers Update — THE BIBLE REPAIRMAN AND OTHER STORIES:
J. K. Potter recently turned in the dust jacket and interior illustrations — one for each tale — for Tim Powers’ upcoming The Bible Repairman and Other Stories. We’ve fully designed and proofed the book. All that remains is for Tim to take a pass through the pages and sign signature sheets. As soon as those two tasks are completed, The Bible Repairman jumps to the head of the production list and heads to the printer.

All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records
The Tower Records story is about a man, his company and the unprecedented economic and cultural impact it had on the music industry and people around the world. Tower Records begins with the man who created it… Russ Solomon.
Yet, in 2004 the company filed for bankruptcy and by the end of 2006, Russ Solomon's Tower Records had shut the doors to nearly every one of its worldwide outlets.
So here is the “What, Why and How”…
As you can tell, we are looking to finish the production on our documentary film. So far we have pooled resources and some initial seed money to get the project off the ground. We are approaching this as a passion project, and as such are dedicated to making this film as cost effective as we can. In other words, we are trying to do this grassroots.
We hope that with a little help from you, and the Kickstarter collective, we will be able to see this project to completion. Your donation will go towards the small nuts and bolts of filmmaking. These monies will help pay for various production and post production costs; including things like equipment rentals, additional personnel, and travel to locations to conduct interviews.
This will be a long process that will involve lots of time and energy but one that we are very passionate about. Our goal is for this to be a communal process, so please be a part of it! And please pass this along to friends and family, post it on your blog, twitter and Facebook pages...help us get the word out!
