He died in 1974 — his manuscript reached readers DECADES later. 📖 The work refused to die. It waited for its moment. THIS is the moment: Oct 21. 🔥 @AmistadBooks @poetswritersinc @KirkusReviews Follow + get the Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

52 years. Nobody was ever charged. In 2025 the AP covered a new investigation — a $5,000 reward still stands. 📢 His story isn't history. It's UNFINISHED. @freep @metrotimes @wdet Follow the campaign — Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

1950s–70s Detroit on the big screen — the cars, the clubs, the corners, the clothes. 🚗🎷 Not just a biopic — a TIME MACHINE. We're obsessed with the period detail. @CinemaDetroit @HourDetroit Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Donald Goines left no interviews. Our screenplay is built from what he DID leave — letters, records, the books, the people who knew him. 📜🔍 Research as respect. @poetswritersinc @HurstonWright Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Shirley Goines. His wife. Gone with him on Oct 21, 1974. 🕊️ When we tell his story, we tell hers too — with care and respect. Family first. Always. @Essence @TheRoot Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Spinner rack in the '70s. Hip-hop in the '90s. Today, filmmakers and a whole new generation. 📖🔥 Every era gets the Goines it needs — this era gets the FILM. @TheSource @XXL @aalbc Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Some of his novels came out a month apart. A MONTH. 📚⚡ Not rushed — POSSESSED. When the story's in you, you write. No permission needed. @lithub @BookRiot @SchomburgCenter Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Miss Hattie — from our screenplay, straight out of Goines' world. Not just his biography — his whole universe. A cast of thousands. Now they get faces. @FilmmakerMag @shadowandact @theGrio Follow + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Kenyatta — Goines' most famous creation. 📖 The culture quotes him like a real person. Our film goes inside the mind that invented him. @XXL @TheSource @VibeMagazine #DonaldGoines #HisStory Follow the campaign — Oct 21: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Respect to Holloway House 📚 — the indie publisher that put Goines' books in the world and kept them there. They believed first. Indie film finishes the job. @lithub @AmistadBooks @BookRiot Follow the campaign + Oct 21 reminder: indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

He read a book in prison and decided to out-write everybody. ✍️ Then he turned a cell into an office — a shelf of novels in just a few years. Discipline like that is a superpower. @aalbc @poetswritersinc @HurstonWright indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Before the writing came the service. ✈️ Donald Goines wore the uniform before he picked up the pen — and what he lived fed everything he wrote. Our screenplay starts where HE started. 🎬 @ARRAYNow @BlackStarFest indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d

Before the streets: Goines Cleaners, the family shop where young Donnie watched Detroit roll by. 🧺 He wasn't born to the life he wrote about — he CHOSE to tell it. @metrotimes @freep #DetroitFilm indiegogo.com/en/projects/ro… urban-oracle-studios.kit.com/464f8a8a4d
