We will have lots of merch to buy. All sales go toward funding The Runaway Sun short film.

TEN REASONS TO BE AT ELITE COMICS ON JUNE 12th

1. T-SHIRTS (Limited to 24)
This is a one day only t-shirt. It features the android concept art by Kyle Strahm. Very cool! It is very limited. Only 24 made in assorted sizes. If you're interested in getting one, I highly recommend getting there as soon as you can. Only $10!

2. ALIEN MAQUETTE (Limited to 10)  
THESE IMAGES REPRESENT A WORK IN PROGRESS

We will be taking alien maquette orders on the 12th. How it will work is you place your order the day of the event. You put half down on the 12th, and you pay the other half when you pick them up. They will be available for pick up two weeks later on June 26th at Elite Comics. The Maquettes will be $75. You'll be able to see the actual sculpture the day of the event.

We are also selling 10 on our indiegogo page. They are more expensive because of indiegogo fees and that also includes shipping. So if you want to be sure you get yours, then I highly recommend spending the extra $25 and ordering on Indiegogo. We will also throw in a special surprise to go along with it!

3. SKETCH COOKIES
That's right, sketch cookies. Our amazing artist will draw on your cookie with a special eatable marker. Sketch cookies will run between $5-$20 depending on the amount of detail on your cookie.

4. MY STEPDAD'S A FREAKIN' VAMPIRE! DVDs


Director, David Matheny is bringing copies of his student film, MY STEPDAD'S A FREAKIN' VAMPIRE with him. It is a special 2 disc edition with a poster inside. This version of the film is no longer in print. It's very rare. He will be handing these out with a donation to The Runaway Sun!

5. MY STEP-DAD'S A FREAKIN' VAMPIRE! POSTERS BY TONY MOORE (Co-Creator of The Walking Dead)

Also, director, David Matheny will have copies of the poster from MY STEPDAD'S A FREAKIN' VAMPIRE! available. Drawn by the co-creator of The Walking Dead, Tony Moore! Doesn't get much cooler than that!

6. COOKIES BY LITTLE LULU'S CONFECTIONS
Little Lulu's Confections will be helping out The Runaway Sun with her amazing cookies and cake-pops! They taste even better than they look.

7. PRINTS BY DEVIN KOEHLER

 Come pick up a print and get it signed by our concept artist, Devin Koehler! Devin has helped director, David Matheny shape the look of the film. Now you can own a signed print by the man himself!

8. PRINT BY KYLE STRAHM

Kyle Strahm will be there for a short period of time signing prints of the android concept he did for the film. Be sure to swing on by and get them while they last. He might even sketch a cookie for you!

9. SKETCHES BY DAMONT JORDAN
 Damont will be doing $10 sketches all day long! He'll draw anything you want! Just tell him what you want and he'll do it. As the night goes on he might get a little booked. If you would like to reserve a sketch by Damont, e-mail therunawaysunfilm@gmail.com. Let us know what you want and he'll have it ready for you!

10. It's not only THE RUNAWAY SUN day, It's also MAN OF STEEL Day

 All day long, you can stop by Elite Comics on June 12th and pick up a copy of All-Star Superman #1. All Star Superman is by far my favorite superman comic I've ever read. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it before.

MALFUNCTIONS

Well, it's 6am and we're still over here messing around with the Indiegogo. We're not even close to being done. So, it looks like we are not launching our fundraiser until midnight tomorrow! But the good news is everyone who stops by Elite Comics on Free Comic Book Day gets a free print by the amazing Kyle Strahm! And even better news, Kyle will be there to sign it!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY AT ELITE COMICS!

So, on May 3rd at 12:01am we are launching a fundraiser for this film, The Runaway Sun. It's going to be an Indiegogo campaign lasting 45 days. We absolutely cannot make this film without supporters like you. You complete us! If you're unable to back the project financially, you can totally help us by spreading the word at work and on Facebook and Twitter. We think we've come up with some really cool perks (DVD's, posters, space helmets, executive producer credit) to go along with our fundraiser. We hope you love them too!

If you're on the fence about making a big pledge, I'm free to talk day or night. Just message me (David Matheny) on Facebook and I'll get in contact with you. And I'd love to grab a drink with anyone who wants to get organized and help out with promotion!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY


On May 4th, I'll be at Elite Comics in Overland Park promoting the film from 10am-5pm or so. With me will be the amazing comic and concept artist Kyle Strahm. For those of you who have never been to the Free Comic Book Day event at Elite, get ready to live. It's super fun. Lots of cosplay and lots of great deals on comics and trades. And hey, it's Free Comic Book Day, so there will be free comics!

Stop by and say hi to us! And don't forget to sign up for our concept art drawing. At the end of the day five people will walk away with some really cool signed prints by Kyle Strahm and Devin Koehler.

Little Lulu's Confections will also be there supporting the film. All profits from cookie sales will be donated to The Runaway Sun! If you have any cookie requests, message her on Facebook! I personally asked for Ninja Turtles cookies, but you can request anything you want. She just might make them.

 SPECIAL OFFER (MAY 4th ONLY)

Now are you ready for the cool part? If you back the film on Indiegogo by May 4th you can stop by Elite Comics and pick up a bonus print of concept art signed by Kyle Strahm. I also have a limited number of poster prints from my student film, MY STEPDAD'S A FREAKIN' VAMPIRE! Illustrated by the one and only Tony Moore (co-creator of the Walking Dead). They are from our festival tour and they are very limited. Less than 50 available. This offer is good on May 4th, 2013 only. Offer ends at 5pm or until they are gone. But the good news is both prints are free as long as you've backed the project on Indiegogo!

If you can't make it to Elite Comics for Free Comic Book Day and you've backed the project on Indiegogo, just e-mail me at therunawaysunfilm@gmail.com and let me know. I can set aside a few Tony Moore posters and a few Kyle Strahm prints for you to pick up later. But you have to notify me by Saturday before 10am.

I'm super pumped about this whole project and I hope to see a lot of people at Free Comic Book Day! May the 4th be with you!
