The Comet Kids
Here is your chance to be part of the adventure to bring 'The Comet Kids' film to life and get your hands on some awesome merchandise along the way!
Having recently completed '41' and 'Apocalyptic' with two successful crowd funding campaigns - we are onto our next big adventure 'The Comet Kids'.
We've been huge fans of 80's/90's kids films forever and decided it would be a really fun challenge to bring an original idea to the genre. We realized that no movie exists that follows a group of kids trying to find a crashed Comet so we thought it would make the perfect film project.
After a year and a half working on the script we spent 3 months casting the main kids for the film. We have already shot a concept trailer (below) and plan to begin shooting the movie asap!!
Now it's time for you to be part of getting this film made! Join us on an epic scale adventure full of fun, danger, close-ups, wonder, magic and emotion! The Comet Kids!
