Here is your chance to be part of the adventure to bring 'The Comet Kids' film to life!
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.
"Would it be possible to make an independent film that would sit comfortably next to such beloved classics as 'The Goonies' 'Stand by Me' or 'The Sandlot Kids' - This is the challenge."

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 in March 2016.
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, family, close-ups, wonder, magic and emotion! The Comet Kids!
