Denver filmmakers seek funding for movie with furry subplot
Gaylord Street Films, a small film-production company in Denver, Colorado, is seeking funding for a new film-noir project.
And the script features furries.
The campaign has some enticing incentives for donors, from getting a “Special Thanks” in the credits (only a buck!) to appearing in a scene doing strange things in a giant animal suit (furries, this is your big shot, for only $300!)

While the Bible may be one of the bestselling books of all time, it has its fair share of critics, from followers of other religions, to atheists stunned by the sheer brutality of the Old Testament, to those with little interest in endless lists of who begat who.
Now a fresh group is getting in on the Bible bashing, with the animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals suggesting that Christianity’s holy text is “speciesist”.

Fursuiters are to feature on G4′s Attack of the Show at 7PM Eastern today, in a segment involving footage filmed a fortnight ago at Furry Weekend Atlanta 2011. [time tip: FNN] FWA’s decision to allow filming was controversial, with several dealers complaining that they were not informed of their involvement or given the option to opt-out. Operations director Kiran Lightpaw defended the convention’s choice, saying that G4 was covering ‘the activities of fursuiters’, not making ‘a general “furry convention” piece’: They shot hours of footage featuring nothing but fursuiters, primarily in a private shoot that took place on Saturday afternoon, and a total of about 30 minutes of footage elsewhere in the convention meant to be “B” roll footage, used in gaps or to set the mood. Presenter Sara Underwood led the footage, and commissioned a piece from Artists’ Alley.

Strangeness from the World of Advertising
Recently DirecTV has been running a series of ads featuring a very, very rich gentleman from Russia, showing off his indulgences — including, of course, DirecTV. But the thing that has seemed to get the most attention in the ads is sort of in the background: A little, miniaturized giraffe the fellow has for a pet. Everyone seems to have noticed the little guy, and they’re talking about him on line. So much so that someone (presumably DirecTV) has given the “petite lap giraffe” his own web site! “Welcome to world wide famous Sokoblovsky Farms. The best and only breeders of Petite Lap Giraffes” says the introduction. There are lots of funny pseudo-Russian-isms used, of course (“To be clicking here!”). In addition to historical backgrounds and information about purchasing your own lap giraffe, there is also a 24-hour “Giraffe-Cam” where you can watch the petite bull Vladamir in his enclosure. Yes really.
Kegasus – full-on “Party Manimal”
A year after the Maryland Jockey Club encouraged Baltimore to get its “Preak” on with a feather-ruffling advertising campaign for last year’s Preakness party, event organizers are turning to a spokes-centaur named “Kegasus” to generate interest in the 2011 Preakness InfieldFest, which is May 21 at Pimlico Race Course.
The Maryland Jockey Club announced today in a press release the launch of this year’s InfieldFest campaign, “The Legend of Kegasus,” which centers on a mythical creature that is half-horse and half-man — and a full-on “party manimal,” according to the release. Kegasus will be the voice of the campaign in all advertisements for television, radio and on the Internet, including YouTube and Twitter (www.twitter.com/allhailkegasus).

Alex Vance reads “On the Bright Beach” by Kandrel
Author: toonces
It’s when the darkness seems most severe that the storm clouds start to part and the sun starts to glimmer over the landscape. It’s a scene not uncommon to literature, one that may have provided the opening image for thousands of unpublished works by now. This resonates with people because nobody goes through life without experiencing a winter to thaw out of- it may be a figurative winter, a season in a lifetime, a trial of mood that is met and conquered. Or it might be literal, evincing the real struggle against cold, one that comes on as firm and definite a schedule as the neat grid of any calender would suggest. But you don’t face these winters without learning to recognize the coming of a fairer season.
On the Bright Beach will be that crisp view on the horizon, if you’ve been following our readings. Each story seemed a little more severe than the last. But if thousands of words of the pulpiest story we’ve featured yet doesn’t cheer you up- go outside and get a little sun.

Dragons and Pandas coming to TV
Not long after announcing that the sequel to the wildly popular film How to Train Your Dragon will be released to theaters in 2013, Dreamworks Animation let it be known that a brand new How to Train Your Dragon weekly TV series will be premiering on Cartoon Network in 2012. IGN has a lot of information about the new series up on line. Although we’ve been told that the TV series will feature the same characters in the same world as the feature film, it’s not been announced if any of the cast or crew from the feature will be working on the new series. And speaking of television: Don’t forget that sometime this fall, the much-delayed Kung Fu Panda TV series Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is set to premier on Nickelodeon.
