Award-Winning writer/producer Marc Zicree, Oscar and Emmy-Award Winner Doug Drexler and Digital Film Pioneer Neil

first-ever series to be supported by crowd-funding site Kickstarter will appear
before its fans Comic-Con 2012.
At this one-of-a-kind panel Sci Fi enthusiasts and film
geeks alike will have the opportunity to learn what it takes to get a film into
production and how the support of a crowd-funding site like Kick Starter can
help surge interest and funds. On Friday July 13 from 8:30-9:30pm the producers
of Space Command will present their star-studded panel Space
Command: Bold Adventures In The Far Reaches Of Space. The panel will feature Science Fiction Legends Marc
Scott Zicree (The Twilight Zone

from Kickstarter will also appear on the panel. The visionary team will offer
fans a sneak peek at the original Character design, along with producer David
Raiklen’s extended version of the

and its score are inspired by heroic science fiction of the 50s. The film is currently in pre-production
where its Award Winning production team is currently crafting original space
costumes and space ships. Production will take place in October 2012 and the
film will be released in a multi-platform manner: DVD, Bluray, digital download

writers, producers and directors in the sci-fi world are working on the
project, and we are also excited to have stars from DEEP SPACE NINE, VOYAGER,
