Our Story

For the last several years we have made ultra low-budget movies, mostly on a wing-and-a-prayer, but we've done a great job. (see imdb.com/jordanrivers)  Now we want to make one with an actual budget.  Yucca Man! is a sci-fi comedy spoof based on monster movies made since the 1950s, with a tip of the hat to older movies.  

This video is just to show investors what we can do with NO money.  Imagine what we could do if we had an actual budget, with an actual crew and real equipment!  And a blue screen that wasn't sewn together because we couldn't afford to buy a real one.  We narrated the video so people would understand what we were trying to do and where we were coming from.  


Yucca Man! synopsis: Using alien technology the Army transplants a soldier's brain into a cactus for covert ops in the desert.  But Project Frankenvine goes awry when yucca man escapes.


So if you love government conspiracies, crazy teenage aliens from the Roswell crash, parents who love their kid so much they have his dead dog stuffed so he won't have 'separation anxiety', valley girls and college boys, an insane Army General and a Joshua Tree on the rampage - then this comedy is for you!


Help us pay for the legal fees and advice to set up our LLC, contracts for our future investors, our incorporation set up and any other legal fees that crop up unexpectedly.  This has been a huge road block for us as attorneys and accounts won't do ANYTHING for free or for future profit.  This is the only part we cannot do ourselves.


The Impact

Our town has double digit unemployment and the teens here really don't have anything to look forward to when they graduate from high school even though we do have a local community college.  Our desire is to sell Yucca Man! to a major distributor and use the money to set up job programs for adults and a school to teach young people how to write scripts, make movies and we want to offer it free to those who qualify.  We will set up a nonprofit school so these kids can have something to look forward to other than a fast food job.  Our community has over two hundred productions (film, television and commercials) shoot here locally (in the Mojave desert) each and every year.  These kids will be able to work right in their own back yard if they don't want to get lost among the multitudes of job seekers in L.A.

If we are unable to fund this part of the picture, we will carry on, after all, if the word 'no' shut us down we never would have made a documentary, a stop motion animation film, a western and a test drive of Yucca Man!  Never say die!  And "Never tell me the odds!" (which we were saying before Han Solo - which just proves how old we are!)  Your money will still go towards something to do with Yucca Man! - not to partying or paying other bills.  We're responsible grown-ups, but don't let that turn you off!

Other Ways You Can Help

Other ways you can help us is to tell others about Yucca Man!  Facebook, Twitter and any other social network you can think of would be a real huge help.  And don't forget your own personal power.  You know people.  You've got friends.  Tell at least two of them and ask them to tell at least two of their friends and spread the word that way.  You are the one we are making Yucca Man! for.  We want to entertain you.  We want to make you laugh!  What good is a comedy if nobody laughs?
