Prepare for an Army of Martian werewolves and join the fight!

Hello friends!  Troy Oelke here.  I have produced, acted in or done voice work in over 40 films and television shows.  now it’s time to do a unique feature!

I grew up a fan of monster movies -- the Universal Monsters in my early years, alongside Godzilla, to the slasher films of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.  But those early classics have such a unique feel to them.  I have such an appreciation for those classic creature features that I decided this would be the route I would go.  We aim to deliver thrills, chills and a laugh or two in a classic style with a future twist!

We have an original soundtrack, original score and exciting actors!

This feature will be shot in black and white with classic film grain and we will be color isolating the blood.  Miniatures and dance numbers will delight and surprise viewers! 
 

Over a century ago, a high altitude weather balloon crashed on a farm in Roswell, New Mexico.

But it wasn’t just any weather balloon.  The conspiracy theorists were right -- it was in fact a saucer ship but  it wasn’t full of little green men.  It was operated by a crew of 5 Martian werewolves, all of which were killed on impact.  But the wreckage had alien tech that was confiscated  by the United States Army. Mostly.

Jesse Marcel kept something….

The first official witness at Roswell is hiding something,

Something they want back! 

Alien tech that he had secretly kept and then passed to a trusted fellow soldier to hide it away. 

Now over one hundred years later 

They have activated the tracking beacon, locked on and they are coming in Hot! 

Will Earth survive……

WEREWOLVES from MARS?!

Backers are monumental in assembling the necessities to create a movie like this.  Your contribution will help get our amazing project from concept to finished product.  And you will be rewarded for your generosity in one way or another!

We have many perks to choose from. From producer to actor, from T-shirts to blue

We want everyone that is involved to feel involved, as they should, while respecting the wishes of anonymous donors.  Please consider a perk or even a donation.  With your help, we can get this movie made.  Thank you, friends and fellow film fans!

 

WE HAVE REACHED OUR FIRST GOAL! SEE OUR STRETCH GOALS BELOW!

Funds will be used to pay for our guest stars, soundtrack, original score, vehicles, locations, food, costumes, props, blu-rays, and crew.  This is a “time period” movie, so the details will be essential.  There are miniatures, effects, travel, and lodging involved.  

 

THE COST BREAKDOWN

OUR CURRENT STRETCH GOAL IS $5K!

We hope to add a couple more veteran actors to the mix as well.  Any extras will be used for festivals, distribution and merchandise.  If we don’t reach our goal, we will still make the movie, but we will be heavily restrained.

If everything were to fall through, we will still make the movie, but we will be very restricted on how much we can do.  With your help, we can put this over the top!  I have a plan in place, if funding does fall through somehow or doesn’t meet minimum expectations, to complete the film on a smaller scale, so no dollar will go to waste.  I have out-of-pocket agreements with many to ensure the film gets made. -- locations, et cetera.

Other Ways You Can Help

Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help:

You can share, share, share to help reach potential backers and there may be a perk for whomever shares the most!  Use the Indiegogo share tools.  And that's all there is to it.
