The dual launch of a new website and a Patreon campaign highlight ICU’s debut efforts in the world of genre entertainment.

July 5, 2024 – Imagination Connoisseurs Unlimited, LLC (ICU) debuted its new website and unveiled an on-going campaign on Patreon designed to both raise funds for the fledgling production company and engage fans who want to take a “deep dive” into the business of creating new, genre entertainment.

“We’re really excited to get things off the ground,” said ICU Managing Partner, Mike Bawden. “The website will serve as our virtual ‘home’ – a kind of rallying spot for fans, friends, and fellow producers interested in making new genre-based content. Since Rob (Burnett) and I live about 2,000 miles apart, having an online office made a lot of sense.”

“Launching the Patreon campaign not only helps us establish a reliable revenue stream for our new venture, it also serves as a very special fan engagement platform,” Mr. Bawden continued. “I’ll be hosting members-only video conferences with patrons where we’ll talk about progress made on projects in the pipeline as well as plans for upcoming projects and creators we’re considering partnering with.”

“For people interested in getting an up-close look at the inside of this business, you can do that for as little as $10/month.” The new ICU Patreon page can be found here.

Higher-priced levels are available for those interested in participating in exclusive Q&A sessions with directors, producers, actors, and other professionals involved in ICU productions, as well as those who are interested in financially participating in upcoming projects.
