Synopsis: When loser Duke, who has screwed up every hair-brained scheme he’s ever come up with, accidentally falls off a cruise ship and wakes up on a mysteriously abandoned, top secret government island, he discovers that it’s overrun with mutants and monsters from a failed 1980s DARPA “super soldier” project to stop the 2nd Cold War. He soon comes up with the incredible idea of turning the island into a world class getaway resort, utilizing the creatures as it’s staff, much to the dismay of the United States government.
Directed and Animated by Steven Shea (SURVIVING SUPERCON), written by Steven Shea and James Schrader, with over 86 minutes of original music composed by Rob Reider, and illustrated by Logan Van Der Wolf, Zia Izzy, Elly Karipides, and Chickenz. The poster was illustrated by artist Kevin M. Wilson.
“This was a project born out of the pandemic,” says Shea. “Knowing that I’d be stuck in lockdown, I tried to figure out ways to produce content without anyone leaving their homes. Animation was the key. So I took online tutorials, taught myself animation and started to create this film with friends. I spent over a year in my basement animating, with an entire crew of 12 people and over 40 voice actors. This has snowballed into something much larger than I ever could have imagined!”
The team is building a Tiki Bar in Booth #1901 at San Diego Comic Con, with cast autograph sessions, exclusive comic book, merchandise and more all week. There will be a film Panel at 5:30pm on Saturday, July 27th, Room: 6DE, with a sneak peek of the film and Q&A with the filmmakers and cast. Besides the feature film, the brand has a new comic book series, merchandise and a video game app in development. The film is currently out to Distributors.
Shea is repped by Anvil Entertainment.
