This is so cool.
Regular folk will read this project’s creator as as Frank Sanders, but long time Geekscapists know him better as Sandstone. He’s been with us for as long as we can remember, and we really, really love him, so we’re beyond ecstatic that he’s finally getting to make the short film he’s been talking about for ages.
It’s called CHRISTMASacre, and… well, you’re already sold, aren’t you?
Need more? Here’s the synopsis, which is just as bad-ass as the title is:
Christmassacre is a short film about Jesus and Santa teaming up to rid the world of lowlife criminals and crooked cops.
The world has turned the chaos. Everywhere you look you see people jumping at every opportunity to take advantage of their fellow man. We expect this of politicians and we expect this of a portion of our society best suited behind bars. What we do not, and should not expect however, is for those that are tasked to protect us to turn against us with violence and malice. Sadly, what we want and what we get are often two dissimilar truths, and now The Immovable Object and The Unstoppable Force have come to set shit straight by any means necessary.
Now, the project is already well into principal photography (as you can see from the screenshots on the Kickstarter page), and everything is looking really solid so far. The campaign has a goal of just $1000, and as Frank states, ” We need the extra little amount to pay the final actors travel expenses and food for being so kind as to come work on this project. We will also need a few more tools in editing.”
Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Now take a look at this short teaser:
Now, as always there are some pretty sweet (and CHRISTMASsy rewards available to backers, including signed promo photos, bloody Christmas ornaments, fake needles (that double as pens), Santa suits, and more.
Now, take a look at the campaign video below, show your holiday spirit, and help out a fellow Geekscapist! You can head here to back the project.
