Seventh Star Press would like to thank everyone who supported the Rayden Valkyrie TV Pilot Kickstarter Campaign. After 42 days, we crossed the goal line with just 2 hours to go! A dramatic finish but a wonderful outcome! We look forward to bringing you a great TV pilot and introducing a wonderful, inspiring heroine for the screen!
With exclusive memorabilia, credits, and events and experiences offered in the reward levels, we have a great new campaign to support the creation of a TV Pilot based upon the character Rayden Valkyrie from Stephen ZImmer’s novel Heart of a Lion.
Yesterday, the first concept art piece of Rayden Valkyrie for the project was unveiled, from artist Jerome Sayers.
This project represents a new area of activity for Seventh Star Press as well, entering the realms of original television and movie content!
