They counted me out. Now I'm coming back — with a movie.

I wrote three books: Born Servitude. Lezorah. Book 2 of Lezorah. One saga — struggle, power, redemption. I lived it before I wrote it. Every page came from a life they tried to bury.

I'm LZThir13, founder of Lemniscate Zeal, independent creator from Paterson, NJ. Overlooked. Underestimated. Counted out. This is the comeback — not just mine, but for everyone who was ever told they wouldn't make it.

The $60,000 funds the first phase: screenplay development and pre-production: screenplay, casting, filming, post-production, distribution. Independent film, built from the ground up. No studios. No compromises.

The books are already out. Read them. Then help me put the comeback on the screen.

Lemniscate Zeal. From books to film.

The Liberty Bundle

I didn't grow up with Hollywood connections. I grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, with stories in my head that wouldn't leave me alone.

Those stories became The Lezorah Saga — my book series about legacy, power, and survival. Now I'm turning it into a film, shot with the same fire and water energy behind my brand Lemniscate Zeal: destruction and rebirth, struggle and triumph.

This isn't just a movie. It's proof that a kid from Paterson can build worlds.

Your $60,000 gets us there: professional trailer, casting, locations, crew, and post-production to take to distributors and festivals.
