Fund The Zeep Graphic Novels and Film Project

Hey there, my name is Nolan Cross, a 20-year old independent writer and filmmaker from Revelstoke, B.C. I'm the creator and author of the ZEEP graphic novels, and an aspiring director.

The story and universe of Zeep have been in my life since childhood, and now, together with artist Benji Andringa, we have been adapting the epic vision into a 10-volume graphic novel series, which began in 2018, while I have continued to work on several short film ideas, in the ultimate hope of breaking into the film business.

Benji and I premiered the first volume of Zeep as an 'animatic' storyboard film at a local theatre in 2021. Since then, we have completed the second volume, and work continues on showcasing the project at local bookstores, and hopefully, larger ways in the years to come.

The ultimate vision for ZEEP is that my project is picked up as a limited series, or high-budget film, and the graphic novels have proven to be the most impactful way of beaming its images into existence on the page.

ZEEP is the fantasy horror epic of a lifetime. Converging plots, bizarre and complex characters, twisted tension, and a merging of genres all combine to flesh out the chaotic, sweeping Kingdoms of Zeep, with a huge range of locations and story beats. The story focuses predominantly on two factions that fight for opposing causes as the dynamic world changes and enters a supernatural war. A mosaic of varied characters and scenes interconnect in a tapestry of intrigue, brutality, and hope. Heroes, villains, monsters, and sages all have a part to play.

We need your help to see it through, and help ZEEP grow as much as possible! Share our website or social media, or consider donating here to be a part of the massive creation. Funding the series has always been an on-and-off endeavour, and with our first GoFundMe campaign, we managed to raise $1,200 in donations from friends and family, with large costs always going towards advertising, printing, and Artist Benji's salary. Let's exceed that number and complete the epic!
