Do you like pirates? I like pirates on the big screen, but not when they steal movies that do not belong to them. And especially when the movie is available to watch legally -- and, if money's tight, for free! An Act of War is the name of the film. According to a reliable source -- distributor Revolver Entertainment -- it's now the #1 most pirated movie. Now, I don't know specifically why people are downloading it in such numbers, but the point is that, if you have any interest in watching the movie, it's available. Here's the synopsis: Following an extended tour of duty in the Middle East, a veteran returns home only to face new enemy. Battling insomnia & undiagnosed post traumatic stress...

Most filmmakers turn to Kickstarter or other crowdfunding platforms looking to fund production for their projects. But the filmmakers behind "The Projectionist - A Warrior Reduced to a Shadow" had another idea. They had already funded their film independently through family, friends, and private investors, and decided to use Kickstarter to raise funds for distributing it.Unlike Kickstarter campaigns which sometimes promise an advance screening or DVD of the film that won't be available for another year or two, in the case of "The Projectionist," the filmmakers are giving backers the ability to see the film immediately -- via an HD download file and/or a private link on Vimeo."The contributions that are received get them an instant incentive.

Two members of the wolf pack, Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon, are trying to get a little film called Heat Wave off the ground. The movie is a dark indie road comedy about two friends taking a cross country trip to go to a Bon Jovi Concert, and all the folks that them meet on their way. Currently the project has raised $2000 of the $20000 that the movie needs for a budget. Check out more below:
Heat Wave is a Dark Indie Road Comedy written by Russ Russo (The Projectionist, Donner Pass) to be directed by Will Lamborn (Award Winning SXSW and Sundance Director) and features an All-Star cast that includes Twilight’s Kiowa Gordon, True Blood’s Natasha Alam, John Carter’s Amanda Clayton, Machete’s Mayra Leal, Broadway’s Olja Hrustic, Twilight’s Bronson Pelletier and more. Heat Wave follows two guys from New Jersey running amok in Hollywood when it’s time to get out of Dodge, a Road Trip comes about due to the fact that Bon Jovi is giving a Farewell Concert in New Jersey in 3 days. It’s about life , friendship, the winding roads, discoveries of self and all the people you meet along the way with a twist.
The film is a collaborative effort stewarded by The Projectionist producer Atit Shah as a response to the changing landscape of the film industry. Russo and Gordon are partly financing the film themselves through Shah’s new company Create Entertainment in order to maintain complete creative control of the source material. We all experienced the frustrations of financing and institutional censorship as artists even when making dark comedy. But now, with advances in digital photography and distribution, we can tell a story in the manner we choose. Movies are changing and we’re changing with it.
The Heat Wave team has realized that Kickstarter is indeed a part of this new independent change, and is seeking to connect with our fan base even further with this campaign. Raising money will assist us in the production of our film in addition to increasing awareness of it. There is a distinct value in having an intimate relationship to those who care most about our work, and we are thankful to Kickstarter for helping foster these relationships.
