X-MAS THE MOVIE

Struggling black writer/director, Kobe Jackson, sunk every penny he had into making the perfect movie trailer for his horror masterpiece entitled, “X-Mas!,” a film about a crazed African American Santa Clause killer who preys upon pretentious white people. He catches his big break when first time producer, Jesse Cavatellie, a typical Hollywood party girl living off her parents’ trust fund, offers to fund the full version of the film. With too much time on her hands and nothing to do, Jessie does what every bored Hollywood girl would do - produce a movie.

Kobe and Jessie conjure up the best available cast to star in this low budget gore fest. There’s Kate, the dumb hot girl whose best skill is flashing her breasts, Brenda is the hot Asian, who sadly, is also the brains of the picture, Tom the hot-tempered, pretentious prick who only cares about his lines, X-Mas, the ill cast British and flamboyantly gay actor hired to play a mass murderer, and finally, Blake Richwolski, from the ‘tween classic WB show, “The PBC,” or better known as the “Pretty Boys Club.” Unfortunately, Blake’s not pretty anymore, but Jesse is hoping he can carry the lead role better than he carries his liquor. Each character seems to perfectly fit their role, not that they’re good actors, but because it seems they’re just playing themselves.

 The actors quickly discover they’re not part of a James Cameron blockbuster when they arrive on set. The lodgings, which also double for the dilapidated spooky house for the shoot, has no power or running water. They are also shocked to find that their entire crew is one man. Michael is a crazy local, who handles all the aspects of production, including camera man, boom operator, special effects operator, etc. This is all thanks to Jesse having to blow most of the budget on bailing out Blake for his most recent DUI (which makes number five).

 Despite the issues the cast members have with each other, especially the bitterness Tom has toward Blake for “stealing” his role on the PBC, Kobe is able to get everyone rallied for their first table read. Just a few pages in, a mysterious wind blows out the candles, and they hear a loud crunch. They come to discover that an axe has been lodged into the head of one of the cast members. With no phone reception, no working vehicle, and miles from any help, Jesse convinces the group to keep shooting the film until the wrap party caterers show up days away.  

Unfortunately for the cast, people keep mysteriously dying one by one, including Kobe, the director. Determined to finish what she started, Jesse manages to keep shooting the film by using the actors’ dead bodies in scenes. In the end, the only two apparent survivors are Jessie and Blake, who is now a drooling vegetable due to the injuries he incurred while shooting.  

Jessie puts together her own vision and releases her film to rave critic reviews. Becoming a hero for surviving the X-Mas massacre, we discover that Jessie was responsible for the murders, but has pinned them on the entire cast. It’s the perfect murder, or murders, and Jessie has finally made her mark in Hollywood.

The writing duo behind this Holiday Horror-Com are Jeff Hodsden (Disney, P.I.S.) and Todd Rulapaugh (P.I.S., Stand-Up).  Add a few other seasoned vets of character driven comedies to the mix and you have the creative team behind what is sure to be a side-splitter of a horror film. 

This is your chance to make some Hollywood magic! The script is polished and shiny, a portion of the cast is secured, locations locked, corpses are on ice, and business plans (and a bunch of other accounting stuff) are already finished to make sure X-Mas is a viable, shovel-ready project.  We just need some early holiday cheer so the director can get the cameras rolling and call "Action!" 

The money raised by the generous, art-supporting kickstarter community will be used to finish casting, complete pre-production, and start filming. We will then find a production company to match the funds raised online in order to launch our distribution campaign. 

We are confident that with your help we can bring this exciting film to the big screen, promising big laughs and screams of terror. So join us in making the entertainment world proud and giving our friends with incontinence an excuse for pissing their pants. 

                  Merry "X-Mas," Bitches!!
