All those years of war, fighting to protect my country, to protect the ones I love, sacrificed
everything, everyone.
You learn things, you discover truths that you can never unlearn, see things that you
can never unsee.
So we're told the dead, the dead will rise and they have risen, they've returned to
consume all of humanity.
I knew this day would come, I've been preparing for many, many years, every day, every night,
every weapon, all to kill every last zombie.
I will succeed, I will save this world, the dead will not be victorious.
And I'm the one who's going to take him out, one bullet, one...
Come on, guys, I'll be.
My acute hearing sensibilities picked up his scent when he was still in the front lawn.
One hit to the head, one bullet to the brain, too easy.
Sometimes I even impress myself, but technically the body can survive even if the brain is
damaged.
It's hard to keep the blood flying.
Oh, I don't care.
Hi, I'm Rocket.
Let me tell you about Zombie Con.
Okay, you're not even on camera.
Really?
Hi, I'm Rocket.
Let me tell you about...
Okay, you're not even looking at the camera, bro.
Hello, my name is Rocket, leader of the Rockets Rockets.
You've probably heard of us before.
No, you've definitely heard of us before.
And I'm the guy who has single-handedly led our team to victory over 369 times.
I'm punky.
I'm the jack of all trades.
I do everything.
I'll sew, I'll thread, I'll do whatever.
Hello, everyone.
I am Javier, but you can call me Javi.
Everyone calls me Javi, my closest friends.
Let's see.
What is it to know about me?
I love to cook.
I like to work out.
I love sports.
I'm probably the nicest guy around.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Claire.
Nice to meet you.
I do the sewing, the costuming, the knitting, the stitching.
Take care of everything that these fools break.
There we go.
I'm the boss of years.
A leader endures.
A leader leads.
I'm the one that say, hey, it is what it is.
We're going to do this or we're not.
They're going to get us or they aren't.
We're going to fight or we're not.
That's me.
Cool-headed.
Smooth.
That's punky.
I know how to handle things.
I do best under pressure.
As you can tell, my stats.
This is pretty much a thumbs it up.
Everything about me, you know, like I said, I think sexiness is somewhere in my head.
I think sexiness is somewhere here, yeah.
If you would like to look at a much longer list, pretty extensive I would say of my skills.
I'm accomplished at prop making.
I'm a very accomplished painter.
I basically take care of everything that anyone breaks.
And, uh, yeah, that speaks for itself.
Who is this handsome, sexy, beautiful, jaw-dropping specimen of a human who sits before you today?
Here are my stats.
All you must do is simply read.
And I'm petty.
And I keep everybody on their little feet.
That's what I do.
I start, I steer the pot.
I start shit.
I start mess between everybody because I need to know that everybody's on their feet.
Everybody's focused and everybody's on their toes.
Cost of making.
I'm probably not so good at it, but I can, uh, I can bench press a lot.
Me as a person, though, more importantly, I am like the emotional center of this team.
I'm the heart.
I'm the happy one.
And sometimes they don't like it because I start shit for no reason.
But I need to know that when shit happens, when shit hit the fan, they're ready.
So I keep everybody's little eyes above sea level.
And, uh, let me see what else.
Um, makeup.
I'm good at makeup.
I can, I can get down with the paintbrushes.
Uh, what else do we have?
So I like to call myself the heart of the team.
Just something that came up.
Who is Rocket?
He problem solves.
He improvises.
He knows what to do in any given situation.
Nobody's going to keep you ready other than punky, baby.
That's, that's, that's why I'm here.
Look, it doesn't even matter.
The point is, I'm sexy.
I work out.
I get girls.
And, uh, does anything else matter?
I mean, seriously?
Now I will reveal to you my secret power.
Rocket power.
Go!
Yah!
Punky transform.
Transformation time for punk.
Check this out.
Pretty cool, huh?
Claire.
Transform!
You are no longer looking at Claire.
You are looking at Gamora.
Hey, I'm Kyle.
Hi, I'm Manny.
What you guys just saw was a little taste of the characters,
thematic quality, and most importantly,
the tonality of what ZombieCon will have.
Now we've been working together for the past year
to create more than 10 original web series,
all hosted on our site.
We, too, created MewNowTV.com.
Based out of LA, we worked with a lot of industry professionals,
and they encouraged us to make a move
towards making a feature film.
And that feature is ZombieCon!
Now, we've never really used a platform
like Indiegogo in the past,
but due to the size and scope of this project,
and the quality level we need
in order to reach to get distribution,
it's going to require more money
than we can currently sell fund,
which is why we're asking for your help.
So, what exactly is ZombieCon?
It follows a group of cosplayers
who are finding themselves
in the middle of a zombie apocalypse
are forced to transition into real heroes
in order to save their loved ones.
Zombies, magic rocks, superheroes, anime,
ZombieCon is a special blend of action,
adventure, comedy, drama, horror, thrills, heart!
That's all we're going to say about that,
but trust us, it will be epic,
containing everything Manage is described and more.
Trust us, we grew up loving all of this stuff
and wanted to find a way to put it into one movie,
but at the same time, we wanted to focus on characters.
So, we wrote a script, then we rewrote the script,
then we rewrote the rewrite,
then we rewrite the rewrite of the rewrite of the rewrote,
culminating in an incredible script
with all the previously mentioned attributes and heart.
It's like merging Attack on Titan, Ninja Turtles,
and a Comic Con convention all in one.
Some other members of the Big Squid family
fill out some of our lead talent spots,
and these are incredibly talented actors and performers
who we've been working with for the past three to five years.
Punky Johnson is a regular comedian
at the world-famous comedy store,
as well as being an incredibly talented SAGAFRA actor.
Christian Casillas throws a little bit of Latin heat into the mix,
being a resident personal trainer and SAGAFRA actor,
seen in telenovelas, music videos, and a myriad of other work.
While Aaron Smith has starred and guest starred
in such shows as Vampire Diaries, Revolution,
and movies such as Quarantine 2,
as for ourselves, we've got to combine 20 years of experience
working in and creating films,
as with most people we started young creating movies at home
for our families to watch.
But as of recently, we've combined all of our talents
in order to create this one polished gem.
So, where are we at now?
Well, we've done our homework
and prepared everything in order to create the movie.
There are a few things that we'd like to include in the film that require cash.
Things like casting big-name talent in smaller roles,
booking larger locations to construct sets
for larger scenes to avoid making it in our already cramped studio.
Hiring people to have a crew of more than one.
All things that will raise production value,
making it easier to be picked up for distribution,
delivering the movie right into a theater near you.
Without the fundraiser, it still happens.
We just cast small-name talent.
We build the sets in our own studio and sleep in the car.
We don't hire crew to do everything ourselves,
adding a month or two to production.
We've done it before and we'll do it again.
But we believe people will love this project enough
to give us money before it comes out so we can make it better.
Think about it like this.
We have our destination sent but the path is very bumpy
and it requires us to drive very slowly and carefully to the end of the goal.
Now this fundraiser will allow us to pay a toll
and take that highway for a speedier and quicker delivery.
And I think that's something that we all want.
It will make a better world.
So if you love humanity, if you love art,
if you have a heart, then donate a dollar or two.
