[NEohioPAL] We need your support Cleveland!

[Justin Brenis]

Hey there NEOhioPAL community!

My name is Justin Brenis and I have been a member of NEOhioPAL for years now. While some of you may know me, I know a lot of you may not, but I know how close-knit and amazing the NE Ohio acting community is, so I wanted to put this out there nonetheless.

Over the past year, I started up an online video game magazine called Pixel Perfect. It is the combined effort of 15 passionate, driven people (mostly from NE Ohio) from all over the world. Each day we put out the latest news, reviews, demo previews, high-profile interviews, videos and more, and we've been doing it for free for an entire year. The response both locally, and around the world, has been unexpectedly phenomenal, to say the least.

Now, as we approach year two, we have some super exciting things planned that will effect both the Cleveland community as well as the video game community around the world, but to make them possible, we need your help. Just for example, we are trying to bring Video Games Live, an amazing orchestral concert experience celebrating the art of video game music, to Cleveland, and we will soon be competing for a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records, stealing an established record from Michigan-based Game Informer Magazine, while at the same time raising money for Child's Play, a video game charity for children in hospitals and recovery centers nationwide. 

We also want to start developing a web series for the site, and plan on casting it using local actors. Our website currently sees between 30 and 50 thousand hits a month, so the exposure could be huge!

Please don't think of this as my asking you for a direct donation. What we have done is launched a Kickstarter to help us raise some initial funding, and in return we have some truly excellent rewards to give back for each contribution made. If you could take just a minute of your time to check us out at the link above, and then check out our Kickstarter here and consider contributing, it would mean a lot both for my staff and I and the community! Help us bring recognition within the industry to our insanely creative hometown!

Also, if you are a writer who enjoys video games, we are always looking for new writing staff. Please e-mail me back and I'd be glad to discuss bringing you aboard.

Thank you all! 

Sincerely,
--
