Words from the Author – Christian Maher
“The image of a velociraptor and soldier fighting side-by-side was always really cool to me. They’d have each-other’s back, use creative tactics in battle, and be unstoppable. The velociraptor would be able to dodge incoming fire with its agility, then attack with instinctual precision. Meanwhile, the soldier lays down suppressive fire for his predator partner, and makes the tactical decisions in a firefight. They’re always outmanned, outgunned…but never outfought”.
“I wrote Mercenary Team Safari as a feature length animated film: a script, soundtrack, voice-overs, camera movements, original music, and sound design. However, creating an animated movie requires a lot of resources that aren’t available to those outside the industry. This is why I will be putting your funds to work on a graphic novel adaptation first with the amazing company Storyboard Graphic Novels. These LA-based professionals specialize in creating graphic novels from movie scripts. The funds raised will be paying the most talented artist in the industry to bring Mercenary Team Safari to life as a digital graphic novel!” storyboardgraphicnovels.com
