STATIC SHOCK FILM FUNDRAISER

[weber_dubois22]

Thank you for taking the time to visit our campaign page to raise funds for the production of our Static Shock Fan Film!

In June of 1993, Dwayne McDuffie created "Static", a comic book series about a young teenager named Virgil Hawkins living in the midst of gang violence and inner city struggles in the fictional city of Dakota. Static was one of the first (and only) African American superheroes to star in his own comic, and in 2000 even went on to star in the hit series "Static Shock" for 52 half-hour episodes. The "Static Shock" series was important as it was an inspiring, uplifting superhero cartoon that successfully reached out to young men and women, and brought McDuffie's work into the limelight and center stage.

We, the award-winning producers of the Fan Film "Static Shock: Redemption", have always been fans of "Static Shock", and are creating this high-def, high-quality short film to bring Static BACK in the form of a live-action series. We hope for our trailer-format film to go viral and draw attention, so that we may pitch the idea to DC comics.

Why are we doing this?

1.) We feel the story of "Static Shock" deserves to be retold.

2.) To honor the late Dwayne McDuffie's work.

3.) We've reached a point in our career where a large-scale production like this simply doesn't "scare us". We have done this. We can do this. We will do this.
How you can help!
