CIVILIAN: £3

I can't give the ending and twists away immediately but everyone who participates in this project will receive approximately the first half or two thirds of the finished first draft of the script to enjoy and anticipate the finished project.

JUNIOR OFFICER:  £45

All of the smaller rewards and a Hell World wall poster based on the web page header art.  PLUS a SPECIAL COLLECTORs' REWARD for you making this pledge : I have produced another work of art I can offer you today, it's a sample of my creative writing and design work. This is the Collectors' Edition Book Of Happiness.

The Book Of Happiness is something I can offer you of value from my own talents now rather than waiting for all the other goodies. The Book of Happiness is British political satire, a series of fourteen (14) posters in a wire bound book to hang on your wall at home or work for your entertainment and amusement.

The Book also includes a new children's board game I've created to teach lessons about making decisions in life. Based on the successful ancient game of "Snakes & Ladders" this new game, "Path Of Wisdom", adds a new dimension to play and learning for young children.

Visit the bookofhappiness.co.uk web site to learn more about this uniquely satirical book of art.



(NOTE: Delivery schedule will vary depending on this demand and the need to print the additional copies.)

SENIOR OFFICER:  £70

All of the above rewards. PLUS a SIGNED First Edition GRAPHIC ART NOVEL of the script.

(If you want to learn more about the writer's ability to produce a graphic art novel then visit The Book Of Happiness web site to see what he's already produced and published.)

NOTE... NOTE... NOTE...: This is the MOST VALUABLE pledge reward package for most people, combining: (1) Book of Happiness (Ltd Ed.); (2) bound Hell World script (Ltd Ed.); (3) Hell World Graphic Art Novel (Ltd Ed, possibly).  


(NOTE: A few additional copies of the graphic art novel will be kept for distribution to prospective backers, film industry partners, reviewers, etc., but the bulk of these will go to you not the general public if the ideal targets are reached.)

HIGH COMMAND:  £850 (LIMITED = 8)

Name a character!

As long as you have or you can devise a reasonably sensible and pronounceable name (be sensible please we do have to deal with international audiences) you have the opportunity to be featured in the first script.

There will be space for six male and at least two female characters, of scientists desperately escaping the Hell World and a couple of characters, corporate honchos/staff interns, back on the home world.

See your name in lights! Be splattered across a spaceship's hold as an alien monster gobbles you up, and so much more fun!

Point to your friends when your character appears onscreen, "that's MEEE! Outch!" And if I really like your name (writer's word is God) then you may become a recurring character!

This reward also features all of the smaller rewards.



(NOTE... NOTE...: Names must be legible, sensible and not invented in foreign languages that translate into any form of offensive or obscene language. Do not use the names of existing celebrity or other famous personalities or fictional characters, we will not use "Barrack Barmey", for example. If you use the name of a friend please ensure you have their permission.)
