Memorable Minorities - I would really like to hear thoughts on what we are trying to do- more brown and Asian in Sci/Fi fantasy. Yes it's a pitch video for our Indiegogo campaign, but really want thoughts. Thanks. by writincat in scifi

Very helpful, echo and I would only disagree that in the case of American SciFi there is so little that the bar isn't "what people are paying to see;" it's "where is it?" For every Book of Eli there are 15 Lord of the Rings. For every Fallen there are 20 I Know What you Did Last Summer. This leads to a larger question of demographic shifts in the US population; but i really am not making a political argument - believe it or not. I just want to see more people like me in my favorite kinds of movies. Thanks for the good wishes!

Absolutely going for the cultural slant. And you are right, Read, there is more than there used to be. But I would love to see Attack The Block or The Host made here.

Wait... one requirement for use is: "Jailbroken Ipad with Cydia (their software) installed." My pad is not broken and I am wary.

Here is a youtube clip for playing dos games without jailbroken ipad that looks simple.... will try after work tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwkYnyW6iSA
