Cities in the Sky: Science Fiction's Forgotten Visionaries
An audacious and daring gambit to reveal the secret history of the science fiction literary world on film.
Help make it happen!

This board seemed like a good place to post a note about this particular Kickstarter campaign.
It's a project for a film covering innovative and creative ideas in written science fiction that were far ahead of their time. It will include significant information about visionary genre writers who, while deserving of acknowledgement for their contributions to the genre, have nevertheless fallen off the radar of the average science fiction reader.
There are only 28 hours remaining in the campaign and they only need about $8700 to reach their goal.
- A $25 pledge gets a high definition digital download. (and the satisfaction of assisting a worthwhile creative endeavor!)
- A $35 pledge gets the above PLUS a digital copy of a companion graphic novel, further exploring the groundbreaking ideas of these writers.
- Higher value pledges are available too, providing a myriad of other perks such as credits in the film, a Blu-Ray disk, t-shirts, and more.
Even if you're not personally able to contribute, it would be great if you could share this information with anyone else you know who might be interested in helping out. I'd really like to see this project succeed.

I don't know if anyone here pledged to the Kickstarter but if you did, thanks so much! In the end they just squeaked by with 102% of their goal right at the last minute.

It makes me kind of Sad that the Golden Age of Scifi/Art dreamed of Cities in the Sky and we spent the next hundred years fighting over the resources until all we had was a handful of ashes with which to paint our faces.On the other hand we've also lived in an age where many of those dreams DID become reality, and we've created a reality which has facets that none of them could even dream of.
No, we didn't actually get the Dream - we got the nightmare and had to settle for that.
