For Friends of From My Shelf Books Vs. The Evil Empire


Have you heard about the new web series From My Shelf Books Vs. The Evil Empire? It's set in Wellsboro Pennsylvania and focuses on a small, independent bookstore and the surrounding community.

It's a passion project that started with Kevin Coolidge, owner of From My Shelf Books and his friend Bill Robertson, back from California. Kevin knows about working in a bookstore and Bill knows how to write a script, and together the show came to life.

There isn't much of a budget for the show. Kevin jokes that the first two episodes were down for under $20, with most of that being spent on black, spray paint and the figure that would become the bibliofiend. Of course, it's not completely true. There was a lot of local talent to tap into.

Patricia Ritter already had experience with a camera, and more importantly she had one. We have a cheap microphone that we turned into a boom mike, and Marie Leddy Andrews is a makeup consultant and has skill with the brush(she's responsible for the dark circles under Kevin's eyes) So, though our cash flow is low, we don't lack resources.

We could, however, deliver a better quality show with your help.

Your donation of

$5 will show your love and appreciation and buy our cast and crew some creative-fueling coffee

$10 will bring some light to the subjects and give us some lighting support

$15 Will make us sound better and help provide better audio support

$20-25 will help us obtain better lighting equipment.

35$ will give us a studio lighting kit for a professional and clear picture

60$ Will give us equipment to fight white noise, wind sounds, and annoying garble.

We hope you are enjoying the show. We appreciate your support, and if times are a little tight, hey just share us with your friends.

Remember, this is a community based show. If you, or your business wants to be a part of the action, just let us know. There are parts in front of the camera or behind the scenes. If you are uncomfortable speaking on camera, you can always be an extra.
