Dear D2D Creators and Friends,
Happy Holidays!
As 2024 ends and we look to 2025…
One thing is constant throughout history, that when folks work together they are stronger!
Comic book artists are seeking a seat at the table in the entertainment industry as creators. Would you like to use your soft power to help creators like Mr. Robin Williams did?
Established and new comic book creators, using our soft power for a small request, can have a meaningful impact in the long run for comic books, the medium we all love. Creators like YOU will be establishing a seat at the table in Hollywood, as we seek support to stay in our chosen field and leverage the revenue windfall of our medium in Hollywood.
WE the comic book creators seek that production companies producing any show or movie based on our IP will hire 3 to 5 CCR creators for non-union background work, in any of our comic book-based IP's (TV or Film).
The Creator Code Rider (CCR) –
The What?
A new or well-established creator with a very powerful IP would request a rider on their contract to develop their IP into a TV or movie property. The rider would state that 3 to 5 of the non-union background actors that would be hired on the production are certified self-identified comic book creators.
The Why?
Creating a pathway for comic book creators to work as non-union background actors, to participate in Hollywood's growing comic book IP market, would open a backdoor for comic book creators to be exposed to the entertainment industry for possible mentorship and entry into acting, stunt work, visual effects, lighting, sound, directing, etc.
The How?
How do you determine if someone is a certified comic book creator? A good question!
We would establish a protocol with a few simple steps overseen by our new comic-book-certifying committee.
1. Establishing a NEW Sequential Arts Creator Certifying Committee
2. Establishing a Creator self-identify process for CCR, with a few basic requirements
