Please, PLEASE, be careful who you give your money to!
I would hate for fans to be tricked out of money.
Not that I think that is the intention of the recent aspiring filmmaker, I’m sure she means no harm. But she has been warned a few times BY THE PRODUCER that what she’s doing isn’t okay.
She believes it is okay to still proceed and if the majority of VA fans agree, she’ll launch a crowdfunding campaign and ask for money for a project she does not own the rights to.
Her argument is that Preger Ent. has lied to us and will not make a movie. (How does she know? Was she in a meeting where they said it? Come on! Be real, OUR MOVIE FAILED HORRIBLY because people, other than book fans, are so over vampires- or were at the time of release. Don’t blame anyone but the other people out there who are too quick to judge something to try it out, okay?)
I, personally, have followed the Vampire Academy movie since the very beginning. I was fortunate enough to talk with a producer. They haven’t given up.
Who knows why it’s taking so long?
Look at Shadowhunters, it took a while for a show to come after their movie bombed. (And even though their movie didn’t make a ton of money, it made a lot more than us.)
Things take time. Be patient.
If you’re going to school and learning about films, then I’m sure you would’ve learned that things take time, things cost a lot of money, and some times things do not work out.
The filmmaker said Preger are scammers because they wanted to make a profit off of the movie.
HELLO.
IT. IS. A. JOB.
I would be damned if I spent hours, months, even YEARS on something and invested my own money and didn’t get paid. #NO
PLEASE JUST BE PATIENT.
If Preger had some plans going on, they couldn’t tell us until legally everything was straightened out. They don’t keep it a secret on purpose, they do it for legal reasons.
I realize not all VA fans are on Facebook, so I wanted to make sure the word was getting around.
Feel free to still support the aspiring filmmaker, it’s your $. I, however, will not. I instead will support people who are making fan films the RIGHT way.
Vampire Academy: the Officially Unofficial Fan Series
-From the beginning the Producer was straight forward about this being a fan project for school.
-They DID NOT ever ask for a single penny from anyone else.
That is how things work.
---The fan series is a great way to spread the word about Vampire Academy, get people interested, raise awareness, and if it gets enough POSITIVE attention, maybe potential investors would take notice and contact Preger about making a real series/movie.
HERE IS A LINK TO SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM THE SET OF THE FAN SERIES.
