Robert Wagner (Bob to you)

Flagler Beach, FL

I am a former sportswriter and news editor, who retired early, in part for medical reasons. I'm 59 years old, but my friends say I act like an 8-year-old, so I guess that's in dog years. I don't feel like a sick, decrepit old person and I'm not ready... view more

    EXCITING NEWS!

    I'm jazzed all over again! Today, Jan. 24, Storming Sedalia was named a quarterfinalist in the Fresh Voices Screenplay Competition. This is my first completed screenplay and the first contest I've entered, so making the quarterfinals of a respected competition seems like an accomplishment. Out of nearly 1,000 entries, it's among the final 33 in the Drama category. Semifinalists are named Feb. 21, and winners in March. So thanks to those of you who have already supported me here. And I'm going to ask you a favor. Keep spreading the word. I've only got 6 days left to make the goal or the project won't be funded. I'll still get it done, but it will take far longer if I have to save the money from personal funds.

     

    Thanks for your support;

     

    Bob

    WE'RE GETTING NOTICED

    Storming Sedalia is beginning to build steam as this project approaches the halfway point. A screenwriting blogger, who himself has had movies produced, has mentioned this project on his blog and included a link. And somebody else is checking to see if a rather successful documentary filmmaker they know can help in any way. So if you're somebody just browsing through Kickstarter, jump aboard, the ride is just beginning!

    Sweetening the pot!

    I've decided to boost the rewards to try to jumpstart interest in the project. So today I added music to all the levels except the most basic. These are the bands that dominated the classic rock era and are making something of a comeback today. Pledge $21 or more and I'll provide you with Amazon gift codes to download music from the script! Some rewards even include blank CDs in jewel cases for burning. The higher the level, the more music you can download.. All the way up to the numbered limited edition Mother of All Soundtracks!

     

    So warm up those credit cards and get ready for some rock!

    Off and running!

    Wow!

    Susan, thanks for being my first backer on my first project! And so quickly too.

    I see you just joined on New Year's Eve and picked me as your first project, so we're virgins together at this.

    I'll try my best to live up to your confidence in me.

    Storming Sedalia by Robert Wagner (Bob to you)

    When cultures clash, it gets messy. Storming Sedalia is a screenplay that needs just a touch of development to be ready for the screen.
