Hello Indiegogo!
We are Anouk Whissell, François Simard and Yoann-Karl Whissell a collective of writers/directors working as a three headed-beast named RKSS (Roadkill Superstar).
Together, we have made over 20 short films, many of which have been awarded prizes at events across the world.
In early 2015, our first feature film TURBO KID premiered at Sundance Film Festival!
In a post-apocalyptic future, THE KID (Munro Chambers), a young solitary scavenger
obsessed with comic books must face his fears and become a reluctant
hero when he meets a mysterious girl named APPLE (Laurence Laboeuf). Despite their efforts
to keep to themselves, ZEUS (Michael Ironside), the sadistic and self-proclaimed leader of
the Wasteland, plagues THE KID and APPLE. Armed with little more than
blind faith and an ancient turbocharged weapon, THE KID learns of
justice and friendship and embarks on an incredible journey to rid the
Wasteland of evil and save the girl of his dreams.
Since our World Premiere, where audiences were quite literally showered with TURBO KID hats, we have been inundated with requests on social media from fans asking where they can get their hands on more movie items. After listening to everyone's comments and feedback we have decided to turn to Indiegogo to offer what you’ve been craving more than clean water.
While raising funds, we hope to show a demand for ACTION FIGURES, a GRAPHIC NOVEL, &maybe even some MORE tie-ins (to be revealed at $50k!). We all remember playing with our favorite action figures growing up & have often dreamed of making our own based the world we have lived in for years since conceiving the original short 'T is for Turbo', which TURBO KID was based on. With the help of our friends at Goodleg Toys, prototypes have been handmade and are ready to be produced if we can show a demand.
A radical toy sneak peak!
