The script for THE LIFE ZONE PART 2 is ready, the Hollywood cast is set, and the location selected. The only thing missing is the film’s budget and that's where crowdfunding comes into play. Kenneth Del Vecchio – an acclaimed filmmaker of 20+ movies that star several Academy Award and Emmy winners and nominees, best-selling author, and former Judge – has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the film’s funding through ANTI-ABORTION supporters. THE LIFE ZONE PART 2 is the star-filled sequel to its highly provocative predecessor, The Life Zone The Life Zone, distributed through Screen Media Films and NBC/Universal, was a groundbreaking film – as the first Hollywood-cast movie to head-on send a PRO-LIFE message. It’s method in doing so attracted hundreds of thousands of media reports, blogger attacks, and even resulted in Del Vecchio’s life being threatened. What was all the controversy about? The Life Zone – starring Robert Loggia (Academy Award nominee; Scarface), Lindsey Haun (“True Blood”), Martin Kove (The Karate Kid), Angela Little (American Pie Bandcamp), and Blanche Baker (Emmy winner; Sixteen Candles) – follows three women who have been kidnapped from abortion clinics and held for seven months, up until they all give birth. Cutting right down the middle of the hotly debated issue, The Life Zone examines the topic of abortion from both sides but, as The Los Angeles Times reports, The Life Zone is “a psychological thriller bringing an emphatically anti-abortion slant to the hot-button issue. “The Colbert Report” adds, “Just like all great horror films, Del Vecchio’s movie has a shocking twist.” And The Daily Beast headlined with “The Life Zone has caused an uproar”. THE LIFE ZONE PART 2 will pick up where the first film left off, with continued emphasis on life—and with enough twists and turns to keep audiences glued to their seats. Here’s what happens: Those who held the women have been arrested, admitting to their deeds. They have been brought to trial, and now the jury deliberates their fate. The kidnappers had video-taped the entire seven months that the women were held. In essence, during the trial the jurors had something presented to them that is so rare in the criminal justice system: they were able to watch the entire alleged crime as it unfolded…And what they ultimately learned – and will discuss in their deliberations – is that everyone involved in The Life Zone (even two of the supposed kidnapped women) were conspirators in the alleged offense…Only one woman had actually been kidnapped…All the others were caught and tried…But did they actually commit a crime by holding this one woman for seven months – and saving the baby’s life?... All jurors immediately vote guilty—except one…What ensues is a jury room battle, where the lone juror tries to convince the others that no crime has been committed. That life was preserved and that there would be no justice in convicting those who held her. It’s a daunting task because the others believe that the law is cut and dry. There was indeed a kidnapping…But is holding one against her will – in order to save another’s life - actually a crime? THE LIFE ZONE PART 2 examines this incredibly divisive issue…And, of course, there is a shocking twist ending. Both films have a singular critical goal: to help end abortion, the greatest evil facing the world today. The films’ writer/producer Kenneth Del Vecchio has stated, “We don’t believe that pro-choice individuals are evil; the vast majority are just misguided. People often equate legality with morality. When something is legal, people believe it is okay. But abortion is as wrong as it gets. Hollywood and filmmakers haven’t – at all – met their obligation to produce pro-life movies; in fact, there are close to zero who have embraced this side of the topic. I’m not afraid of the brush back from the masses in Hollywood who disagree with me or the fanatics.”

Crowdfunding is an excellent concept for raising money to fund the development of worthy products and technologies that would not be funded through other venues. However, unfortunately, the crowdfunding platforms have often been misused by people driven by greed or simply by the lack of basic understanding of science. In many instances, campaigns have been launched to support products and technologies that have no technical merit and cannot possibly function as claimed.

The reports continue to come in of a spreading infection known as Zombie Map, which started in Tempe, Arizona and spread quickly across the country and now the world. The Zombie Map Kickstarter has uncovered something terrifying – zombies are more than a pop culture fad, they are a nested infestation in our culture that want to come out and play more than just around Halloween. Zombie Map gives them the opportunity to do that. This community is made up of filmmakers and misfits, goth kids and metal heads, parents and their children, cos-players and movie buffs. The list even includes movie stars.

The idea behind Creative Art Exchange is to create a centralized location (or community) for artists to place their work online, view other artist’s work, and to have the opportunity to talk to other artists about exchanging a work of art for another. This would give the artists the opportunity to exchange works of art of their chosen media with one that the artist wishes to receive if an exchange is agreed upon between artists. An artist would be able to post a number of original works, a series of original works, details about the artwork, photos or videos detailing the artwork, and other important information that would lead to a beginning database of provenance for each work of art that is traded.

Anyone who has ever flown a rotor-copter type drone ends up spending more time watching the battery’s charge than actually flying it. Even investing the money to buy more batteries will give them little more time to enjoy flying their drone. The plain fact is that a drone wears down the charge on a battery much faster than one can charge it from a wall charger. This has been the frustrating, but accepted norm - until now.
