Overview
So much for me taking a year off. Oh well. My wife has made me watch several talking animal holiday films. Most were terrible, but one was self aware. Like the director knew he was making schlock and did stuff that would make the team laugh. I respected it, I appreciated it, and honestly it inspired me to do it myself. Also I'll be honest, I see a bunch of these. They have to be successful. Super Task Force does so well on Amazon Prime as a family film. So maybe family films are the future.

Short Summary

So now I'm making my own talking animal Christmas film. I love Christmas so much that I am already excited to make a Christmas film that a whole family can see. We've worked on a weird plot that will just make the viewer ask "What is happening?!"

So what do we have? We have two untrained animals, and a lot of self awareness going into this project. I want to make a film for kids but something that would still make me laugh. This is schlock, but I still absolutely want this to be entertaining.

Whiskers the cat hangs out with her friend Chuck the rat all day while their owner is gone. She spends her time watching insane conspiracy videos all day, much to the disdain of Chuck. This particular video covers the idea that Santa Claus has been kidnapped by lizard aliens in order to force people to shop at corporations this season. Coincidentally two burglars start hitting the street Whiskers lives on. When seeing them coming, Whiskers 'realizes' that they must be aliens coming for her because she knows the truth. It's up to Whiskers and Chuck to save Santa, at least in the mind of a cat.

What We Need & What You Get

This is going to be a VERY cheap film. I'm trying to keep the full budget under $1000 and I'm just asking for $500 in pre-orders. All this is going towards is some props, food for the actors, some pay for the leads, and pay for the composer of the film (Stevo Bortz).

What you get will be the film and some Limited Edition posters that are ONLY for this campaign.

The lowest tier is pre-ordering a DVD of the film, 'Nuff said. Usually I also have a blu-ray of my films, but a $1000 talking animal Christmas film is not something you need to see in HD.

The next level gets you the film and ONE of the three designed 11x17 parody posters randomly.

The next level gets you the film and ALL three posters. Again these are limited and will be hand numbered.

The final level is for anyone crazy enough to want to be listed as an Executive Producer on a film called A Meowy Christmas. You'll get the film, the posters, and your name in the credits. I expect nobody to choose that.

Risks & Challenges

There is no risk on this one. If you clicked on this it's because you already know who I am, I am an experienced director who has made a film a year since 2011. I specifically wrote this film in a way that I can film huge chunks of it by myself with my animals in my house. I know what I'm doing and not only is this film getting made, it's going to be released THIS December. Gotta hit the right season!
