The Chair
Article by: Rob Wrecks
Amongst the many, many fund raising projects is Alterna Comics' movie adaptation of Peter Simeti's graphic novel 'The Chair' and directed by Chad Ferrin. Where its all about Death Row and how the only monster to be found is man himself. Which is an apt description considering some of the actions man has done over the years in our history of living. The Holocaust for example, started by a man who was more monster then anything else. And if you remember Mark Lester's review of the graphic novel, you'll know that this is a story of Richard Sullivan (Played by Tim Muskatell), an innocent man unfortunately on Death Row with a warden who is not a pleasant person at all. And if our main man Richard wants to survive the Hell he's in, he's gonna have to fight back. But at a price that's likely going to be his sanity.
Which when you think about it, is never good for any innocent man stuck in a position like Richard is. Now you're probably wondering to yourself (if you haven't been following along with the project's progress anyway) if this fundraiser is to help get the gears going forward.
But you would be wrong on that, as actually, Alterna is looking to you guys for help in getting the post production side of things finished up. And to do that, they need the necessary funds to finalize it all. Which certainly tells you that they are very close to realizing the final stages of getting this movie going! Will it be similar to the graphic novel? Most likely yes! How similar will it be? Well that's unknown but the fun is in finding out! Now you might be wondering what the funding goal to reach is, and that my friend is 20,000. “20,000!?” You might find yourself calling out in shock wondering if perhaps you heard wrong.

But no my friend, you most certainly didn't hear that wrong! Or well, read as the case may be considering you're reading this! And currently the funding level is at $14,932 with only 6 days to go. Which isn't bad right!? Well it could be if the final goal isn't reached and that would just plain outright suck! And that's where you guys come in with your willingness to donate to the cause and perhaps get sweet rewards in the process too! But giving a donation to get a sweet reward is never the reason to do it. As the real reward is knowing you helped bring a project like this to life! Like Frankenstein's monster, only less traumatic. Well maybe not exactly less traumatic for Richard Sullivan and his fellow prisoners anyway.
And if the film is able to perfectly capture the mood of the graphic novel's art, then the Alterna gang will definitely have accomplished an awesome feat. Which if you've read Mark's review, you know exactly the kind of mood I'm talking about! So what are you waiting for? Hit the link and get to donating today! Heck these guys are even offering up felt ornaments! How great is that!? Plus the fact that Roddy Piper (Who likely still has no bubble gum) and Joe 'Animal' Laurinaitis are in this is two more reasons to check this out! Oh? You said that's Too Sweet and those two things along with the felt ornaments are enough for you!? Well right on then good sir and ma'am! So head here and donate some of that hard earned cash!
