My name is Kate Madison, I’m a filmmaker and I LOVE fantasy!
I’m here to offer you a chance to become part of my new fantasy web series called REN – if you like Game of Thrones, Legend of the Seeker and Lord of the Rings this is for you!
REN is going to be an action-packed, epic and exciting story about a young girl who lives a quiet life in a small village until dramatic events, involving an ancient powerful spirit and the ruling warrior order of the Kah’Nath, forces her to leave her safe existence and find the truth behind the web of lies she’s believed in all her life.
The first question that comes into your head is probably “Fantasy is really hard to do, so why does she think she can pull this ambitious project off?” It’s a fair question and the answer is on YouTube:
Three years ago I released my first feature film, BORN OF HOPE, which has now been watched over 23 million times online. It is a prequel to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy and has been received extremely well by Tolkien fans all over the world – so, as you can see, I’m not adverse to taking on and pulling off a challenge.
We’re already working on fantastic designs and ideas for the new project, and the script for Season One is ready to go, all that’s missing are the funds to film, edit and release the first season – and that’s where you come in: through our Kickstarter campaign you have the chance to be involved in this unique project from the very start.
There are some great rewards for backers on every level, from real coins to becoming a featured extra, so I hope you will take a look and come onboard this extremely exciting project – you won’t be disappointed!

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT:
What happens in Season One:
The first six 10 minute episodes introduce our heroine, Ren, and the small village, nestled in the woods, which she calls home. We’ll meet her father and her little brother, whom she adores, and we’ll also meet her outcast mentor, Karn, who could be the link to the real story of the Marked. But all is not idyllic and we soon come face to face with the Kah’Nath, the warrior monk-like order ruling Ren’s part of the world, and Hunter, a young rogue who seems to be the guardian of a Marked girl. It’s a dramatic, exciting and fun start to the incredible adventure that Ren and her small group of outcasts eventually embark on.
Why a web series?
The advantage of a web series over a feature is its ability to grow and adapt through each new season. This means that nothing is set in stone and the fan community has a chance to influence and shape the production by expressing their feelings towards characters and story lines. This will make Ren an incredibly collaborative production. With this Kickstarter campaign we want you to join us on this wonderful journey right from the start! We can’t do it without you!
How can I get involved?
Pledge an amount and choose a reward, it’s that simple – and you do not have to be in the UK to pledge and although the campaign is in British Pounds you can contribute in any currency.
You can change your contribution amount any time before the campaign ends but any amount, even £1, is a big help for us. If we exceed our fundraising target it will just make the final product even better!
We have created rewards to fit all budgets but are very willing to add more! If you have any ideas or suggestions for rewards please do let us know in the comments section.
