Black Salt Launches Indiegogo Campaign

Far be it from Indiegogo to let Kickstarter get all the creative types. There's some equally creative folks at Indiegogo, similarly looking to get their work in front of a captive audience. Ratti Entertainment LLC. is one such creative entity, launching a campaign to finish the six-issue series Black Salt.

The comic book story is adapted from the original screenplay. The funds, raised on Indiegogo, will be used to complete comic book issues #5, #6 and the graphic novel (all six issues combined).

"We feel there are several small factors that set Black Salt apart from other comics. First, there is still a big demand for the action martial arts genre. This genre is a niche target market of over 100 million martial artist and enthusiasts worldwide. Secondly, our grass roots marketing campaign has already generated a buzz of more than 1.5 million hits on the website www.blacksaltfilm.com. Thirdly, Black Salt has a fully developed feature film project that could go into pre-production immediately" said Owen Ratliff, CEO of Ratti Entertainment LLC.

Black Salt is a multifaceted transmedia franchise with strong international appeal. The story will be told across multiple media platforms, with each element making a distinct contribution to the audience's awareness of the Black Salt brand. Black Salt is an epic thriller merging the world of modern-day espionage and political intrigue with the ancient world of martial arts.

The franchise includes, but is not limited to, the following: Black Salt collectible items, all with integrated branding opportunities: Apparel Line, Comic Books, Trading Cards, Toys, Animated Series, Video Games and Feature Film Trilogy. Ratti's main goal is to release the comic book series and the apparel line to build the brand and establish the property as a bankable IP.

How the crowd funding program works: Artists, Authors and others create a "project" on Indiegogo.com with a defined financial goal to implement the idea. The fund raising period lasts for 30 - 60 days on the site, and individuals can 'pledge' to give as little as $1, up to the full amount of the project.

Indiegogo.com is one of the world's largest funding platforms for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields. Indiegogo is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
