EARTH SQUADRON 3D MOVIE!
The Earth is threatened by unknown aliens who travel from their home planet to Earth to subjugate its people and loot it of resources using their superior technology and vicious nature.
The Earth Squadron Project (www.EarthSquadron.com)is moving along nicely, so far we have successfully fleshed out the short story into an 83-page feature length script. The Earth Squadron logo has been completed and we have created over 20 characters, ships and alien creatures.
As of March 5 2014, we were able to successfully raise over $3000 during our 60-day indiegogo crowd funding campaign! We will utilize these funds for audio, voice actors, ram, 3D accelerator cards and promotional materials.
We still need additional funding for packaging, marketing, trade shows, film festivals, and production equipment. Please donate to our campaign so that we can continue the progress we all already made. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you provide.

The Chronicles of the Black Fist (Novel)
Posted by Universal Africana on February 27, 2015 at 5:20pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
"Enter the world of Nyerere Lewis, born and raised in New Washington City. The son of beloved local activists, his world is rocked when they are murdered by the police in a raid, and a race riot sweeps through the city in the aftermath.
20 years later, Nyerere had grown up, and the city is still plagued with addiction corruption, criminality, and complacency. Nyerere wants nothing to do with reviving the community, feeling that the people betrayed his parents' dreams of upliftment. But with the slaying of a former mentee of his, he feels that he can no longer stay on the sidelines, and do nothing. He dons the revolutionary colors, and reeks havoc on all those who would harm this city, criminal or corrupt cop alike...."
