TRANSMEDIA VIDEO: CREDIT+LINKED CREDIT +TRANSMEDIA WRITER + You will be invited to add your own VIDEO entry to our growing website. This can be an experience you've had with a cult or extreme religious movement, a UFO sighting or unexplained experience you've had, or a “goodbye” video such as the LOST CHILDREN members made prior to committing themselves to the cult. In addition, this video will be put into the running for inclusion in the film itself. Don't have any stories like this? No problem, you can make one up!

And at the end of the process, you get one of those props. This might be a newsclipping, perhaps one of the amulets worn by the members of THE LOST CHILDREN cult. Most of these are hand-made and unique. It's our hope that early supporters can share in our success. If (God willing) the film becomes a success, these authentic props become instant collectors items and physical reminders of your involvement in this project. Show them off to friends, sell them on eBay, keep them for your children as a sign of your devotion to innovative storytelling.
