Crowdfund This: Laser Unicorns’ ‘Kung Fury’

I’d advise that you read nothing about David Sandberg’s Kung Fury before watching the campaign’s Kickstarter video. You can thank me later.

Yep, you actually just watched that, and you loved every second of it.

Since you’ve seen the video, I don’t need to explain that “KUNG FURY is an over-the-top action comedy written and directed by David Sandberg,” or that it “features: arcade-robots, dinosaurs, nazis, vikings, norse gods, mutants and a super kung fu-cop called Kung Fury, all wrapped up in an 80s style action packed adventure.”

I’m just about to log in to Kickstarter and donate myself; if you’re a fan of things that are awesome, I’d recommend that you do the same. As always, there are some incredible rewards up for grabs, including Blu Rays, T-Shirts, posters, signed items, producer credits, or even a role in the film.

Again, David is looking for a cool $200,000 to complete the 30-minute film and release it for free online. According to the campaign page, the funds raised will be used to:

With the kickstarter funding we’ll hire a team of 7 visual effects artists who will work closely with David Sandberg on the post-production for a period of 6 months to complete the film. Pretty much every shot in this film requieres some form of visual effects treatment so there’s a lot of work to be done. Apart from creating all the environments digitally, there’s a lot of CG animated characters such as dinosaurs and robots that requires talented people and lots of time. To hire these artists we need to be able to pay them a decent salary. Money will also go to hire an exceptional artist to create the artwork for the movie poster. It will have that classic, illustrated 80s style that you rarely see anymore. Costs will also go to the rewards, such as printing costs for posters and stickers, t-shirts, blu-rays etc.

There you have it. Kung Fury needs to happen, and its fate and future lay in our hands. You know what to do.
