    If “Stranger Things” met “Interstellar” and “David Attenborough” on a quest to tackle the climate crisis, the result would be “The Goldilocks Mission”.
    In the backdrop of a small town, 23-year-old Mia unexpectedly finds herself at the heart of an interstellar mystery. She learns she’s one of the nine Star Children, each endowed with unique cosmic abilities, destined to be Earth’s champions. With her tight-knit group of friends, dramatic family, and the expertise of an ex-government scientist named Carl Strand, Mia is set on a mission to decipher a cosmic message that might just hold the key to understanding Earth’s looming climate threats.
    This narrative brilliantly fuses the heartfelt drama of youth with the awe-inspiring breadth of sci-fi, reminiscent of cinematic marvels like “Interstellar”. Over nine gripping episodes, friendships are tested, family ties are deepened, and our heroes confront adversaries trying to obscure climate truths. “The Goldilocks Mission” isn’t merely entertainment—it’s a passionate call to action with stakes grander than anything before. Oh yea, you’re going to have a hell of a good time too. Let’s get started.
    Picture this: an independently produced TV series that’s a harmonious blend of science fiction and reality, creatively crafted to address the critical Earth-bound issue of our time, climate change. Imagine being captivated by gripping narratives, suspense-filled plot twists, and the remarkable accuracy of science – all in one show! It’s an epic adventure designed to entertain, enlighten, and engage audiences of all ages across the globe. And fun fact; did you know that being entertained while learning helps our brains absorb, and understand, the information better?
    We are working with some of the most brilliant minds in science, from renowned innovators in renewable energy to decorated astronauts, who were once sparked by the power of storytelling and entertainment. It’s the magic of fiction intertwined with reality that has fuelled curiosity and ambition. Even NASA, an epitome of human innovation, has dedicated sections at their facilities that pay homage to iconic TV shows like “Star Trek.”
    “The Goldilocks Mission” isn’t just a show; it’s a movement. It’s about inspiring a new wave of thinkers, dreamers, and doers. It’s about showing a future where clean tech isn’t just a concept but a way of life. It’s about sowing the seeds of imagination today that will blossom into the groundbreaking technologies of tomorrow. It’s about teamwork and if we all do something even small, we can together save our plants, animals, oceans, lakes, and ourselves. The right mindset and attitude are the first steps and each episode will guide viewers through this process and mission.
    With over two decades in the industry, we’re equipped to produce “The Goldilocks Mission” as a top-tier series for global markets. Crucially, independent production allows us to preserve the narrative’s authenticity, urgency, and accuracy surrounding climate change. Large studios can introduce slower processes and complexities, potentially diluting our message.
    Our INDIEGOGO target is $100k, a choice driven by our commitment to creative freedom. Canada’s reputation in film and media, bolstered by substantial film tax rebates and public funds (like Canada Media Fund and Telefilm), positions us advantageously. By collaborating with forefront renewable energy and clean-tech organizations, we spotlight innovative solutions to Climate Change.
    Your support transcends just financing a series – it sparks a transformative movement. Back “The Goldilocks Mission” and be part of a revolution that merges entertainment with impactful global change. In gratitude for your support, we offer exclusive rewards and a glimpse into history in the making.
    We’re poised to make entertainment history with “The Goldilocks Mission.” We’ve already captured the essence of our vision by filming key sequences from the pilot. With our series blueprint and core episodes, we’re primed to turn this vision into a reality. Over the last two years, we’ve dedicated major resources, investing over $200,000 not only in production quality but also in extensive development, including science events, meetings, and collaborations. This INDIEGOGO is pivotal to finalizing our pre-production and debuting our inaugural episode—setting the stage for many more impactful seasons ahead. Below is a further breakdown of the Allocation of Funds;
    Production Design & Art Department: Crafting a visual symphony; from set blueprints to tangible, immersive environments that resonate with the tale’s thematic richness.
    Character Development & Casting: Deep dives into character arcs, coupled with casting initiatives to source talent that embodies our vision.

    As Executive Producer and Creator of “The Goldilocks Mission” I bring to the table over 25 years in the industry as a director and producer. My most notable work, “Exit Humanity”, narrated by HBO’s “Succession” star Brian Cox, was a top-grosser for Starz Lionsgate in Canada. My films have gone to global film festivals such as Cannes and Sitges in Spain, and found homes on platforms like Netflix, Prime, Lionsgate, and Starz. My diverse portfolio ranges from work in the music industry as well, including producing music videos for prominent groups such as Kidz Bop and Papa Roach.
    Over the past two decades, my wife Jackie has navigated multiple facets of the media industry, earning a degree in screenwriting from the Film & Theatre program at Bishop’s University and making her mark as an award-winning photographer. Fuelled by a profound passion for storytelling and a drive to leave an enduring legacy for our three children, she ventured into the entertainment sector. Her prowess was evident at CTV’s eTalk and through her roles as a set designer on various films (Including my first feature, Scarce, which is where we met). With unwavering vision, Jackie co-founded OnTheVerge Media, significantly influencing the creation of “The Goldilocks Mission”
    Jeff Maher brings with him an illustrious 25-year cinematography career.
