Overview
" When a roadside pitstop gets interrupted by a lion, this extraordinary man must find a means to survive" This comedy short film is my way of creating a nostalgic feeling for my older audience as well as creating a humorous and comedic atmosphere for everybody who watches it!

" I’ve worked in dozens of short films in major and secondary roles and have felt that King Of The Road is my time to stand up steer the ship. "

                                - Joshua Vellis, Director, and Writer ~

King of The Road is a story that is inspired by old-school Looney Tunes and Hanna-Babera cartoons. With this child-like vision in mind, I plan to create a short film that brings a nostalgic feeling to the older audience, but also creates a humorous and comedic atmosphere that makes you turn to the person next to you and say, ‘Oi, that was actually mad’. We want our audience to feel like they’re watching an episode of their favorite cartoon mashed with a realistic perspective and adult comedy.

 

SYNOPSIS 

We follow Frank, a man who, when he pulls to the side of an isolated road to relieve himself, encounters a wild Lion. Being stuck in the middle of the Australian nowhere, he must find ways to survive without being mauled by this beast. Frank realizes he has something the Lion desperately wants and uses this newfound knowledge to fuel his plans of escape. 

 

Heres the breakdown!  

We're asking for $3,000. The donations that you give will go towards funding the production of King of The Road. This includes costs for locations, catering, transport for crew and most importantly, THE LION! These funds are being brought together with your help to cover the costs of council approval for  a rural road, amenities on set, feeding cast and crew, transport to and from the set, and most importantly, THE LION! (Which will be a two-man costume)

Due to the nature of the production, we face multiple risks & challenges. These include:

Location - We are in the midst of finding the perfect location! We plan to counter our issues with locations by finding a secluded, quiet road that is easily accessible to our crew and meets the needs and vision of the producers and director!

Lion Costume - Our lion costume will need to fit two people for its proper perspective and proportions. We're in contact with highly skilled and very capable costume artists and production designers to come to a very extensive design and make.
