We are Peter Weidman and Zack Finfrock, a duo of film makers ready for our next big project. We intend to use our 10+ years of experience with producing, directing, acting, animating and designing in multiple mediums to make the short film we have been dreaming of for years. We look to make the best content for the fans by being fans ourselves. 

We believe with a modest $50,000 budget, we can confidently deliver PLANETEERS at a level that we know will meet your standards. 

Why?  We feel confident in our ability to do this because of our track record. Some of our previous live-action titles: THE ‘VERSE, inspired by Firefly. MEGA MAN VS PROTOMAN, inspired by the Mega Man series. APERTURE R&D, inspired by Valve’s Portal. FALLOUT: NUKA BREAK, inspired by the Fallout series. After working for companies such as Nintendo, Blizzard and Capcom we know that we can bring this exciting new fan take on the PLANETEERS to a large audience. This campaign allows us to work on freedom and fun, instead of business and boundaries. 

PLANETEERS is a prologue for a much larger story. A story where Captain Planet has gone missing, last seen over 20 years ago. The world is in chaos, despite the best attempts of the Planeteers. Without the ability to fight evil head on, the Planeteers went into hiding. Years after fighting as a Special Forces unit, the group disbanded in an attempt to work covertly. 

But they are needed now, more than ever. After years of working on separate missions the group is finally thrust into an event that will not only reunite them again, but also answer the most burning question in the world: what happened to Captain Planet? 

This is a project that we intend to devote ourselves to wholeheartedly. Not only will this campaign fund the fan film's creation, we plan to also give 10% of the final raised amount to The Captain Planet Foundation. By supporting us you ensure that we deliver the maximum value in entertainment with an equally strong focus on our message. We plan to walk the walk while we talk the talk. We want you to walk the walk with us to show that high quality entertainment is a vehicle for change. Our diverse cast of heroes will have international appeal, and the narrative hopes to keep them grounded and personal.

There has never been a more important time to fight for the planet.

In the narrative sense, we believe it’s crucial to inspire people through entertainment. But the opposite side of that coin is action. By putting our money where our mouth is, and supporting The Captain Planet Foundation from the start, you know that we plan on utilizing all funds to support this message. If we meet our goal then you will be supporting a diverse cast and crew that is dedicated to making PLANETEERS feel as if it was delivered by a large studio. 

As stated, our initial goal is $50,000. We know that we can deliver a short film with the quality that belongs on a popular streaming service without cutting corners. This campaign will aid all production and contingencies, including personal living expenses while the film is in production. Our full budget breakdown will be available to any backers at request to provide transparency. 

We have many unique perks that we are excited to tell you about! Everything ranging from a name in the credits to cool swag, to a walk-on role in the film. By teaming up with us and donating to this campaign, you can earn exclusive artwork, a power ring, and even props used in the film! 

A few of the perk rewards are dependent on your involvement! We will be holding votes for what art will be made into the signed poster print as well as the enamel pin, so be on the lookout for more details in future updates as the campaign continues! We want to build a community around this project, so leave a comment and join in, maybe?

Even though we are very confident in our ability to execute this project to its fullest potential for $50,000, we have made a few larger plans for what to do if we break that goal and continue to raise more! The first few stretch goals are pretty cool if you ask us!

  • $60,000 

    • Additional fight scene + stickers for all $20+ backers

  • $75,000

    • Extended VFX sequences utilizing more stunts + 2 poster prints for all $20+ backers

  • $80,000

    • Premier event at a local movie theater in Los Angeles

  • $100,000

    • To be Announced...

_____________________________________

“Yeah, but what if you don’t even make your

initial $50k goal?” you ask.

If we don’t quite meet our goal then we still plan on providing something of value to further the project. We have plans for a proof of concept trailer, pre-visual fight scenes with stunt performers, and viral advertising to show the universe we intend to create. If you support us in any way we take that responsibility greatly and look forward to making fun and inspirational content.

We know that a lot of risk comes with crowdfunding, but this isn’t our first rodeo. Having several successful crowdfunding campaigns in our past gives us a unique perspective and ability to handle challenges that arise. Over the years we have worked in every stage of production and feel confident in knowing how to jump over any obstacles in our way. We have built a network of trusting and dedicated professionals which has allowed us the courage to take the next step.

We love and respect the original source material of Captain Planet, and wish to make clear that this is a fan film. We will not make a profit off this film, or off the rewards that are earned during the process. We can not use the Captain Planet name to sell merchandise, and have dedicated 10% of all funding to go to The Captain Planet Foundation, regardless of how much is raised.
