Lesbian Zombies?

That's right.

ACE JOHNSON (20s) is a regular guy. He manages a mom-and-pop video store, and he likes porn. GWEN MOFFET (20s) is a lesbian of mediocre looks. She's not too successful with the ladies, and she hates guys who like porn. But when a mysterious SPACE QUEEN crash lands in the woods, the town's women start turning into lesbian zombies, and this unlikely pair are the only ones left to stop the disaster.

In their fight to escape town and get help, Ace and Gwen are assailed by his zombified – and awkwardly hot – MOTHER; sheltered by a PRIEST, whose attempted zombie exorcism goes horrifyingly awry; chased by a DETECTIVE-turned zombie hunter who believes Gwen to be one of the bad guys; tutored by a PROFESSOR (actually, the high school gym teacher) who believes the only way to stop the apocalypse is to destroy the Space Queen, and the only way to destroy the Space Queen is to, uhm, make love to her and remind her why God created Man and Woman; and of course, there will be hoards of hot and lethal Lesbian Zombies. All leading to a climax so shocking – so unexpected – it will leave you gasping and wincing and laughing.

Where SHAUN OF THE DEAD was zombie movie meets romantic comedy, LESBIAN ZOMBIES FROM OUTER SPACE is zombie movie meets teen sex comedy.

The Plea

We need your help.

I chose this story because - while it may be a turn-off for some - I think it's an idea that a lot of people can get behind.  I think many men out there - myself included - well, we all have a little bit of Ace in that un-evolved part of our brain.  Fantasy is fundamental.  And if we don't let that part of ourselves come out and play sometimes, we may just breakdown and have our own personal apocalypse.

I also chose this story because it's low budget enough to get it funded.  But to make that happen we need the help of people like you.  As you can see, our goal is to raise $28,700. That is the budget I've calculated for one week's worth of shooting.  (Believe it or not, that's low budget in Hollywood.)  That includes money for cast, crew, camera, crafty, and bare breasts -- I'm sorry, but it's difficult to get a woman to bare her breasts for free.  Believe me:  I've tried.

One week.  One week for one-quarter of the movie.  Why not try to raise the full amount, you ask?  Even I don't have the balls to ask for for $100,000 on Kickstarter.  And frankly, I don't think it's necessary.  This initial amount is exactly what the name of this website says it is:  a kick-starter.  It's that extra bit of juice in the beginning that sets the whole thing in motion.  Once we have the first week shot, and it's as good as I want it to be - as good as you need it to be - then I take it around town to the people with the bigger, deeper pockets, and get the rest of the budget funded.

How It Works

But here's the real kicker:  we've got 30 days to raise the full amount, and if we're short by a penny, we don't see a dime.  It's all or nothing on Kickstarter, and honestly, that's the way we like it.  The budget is what it is for a reason - any less and we couldn't produce the kind of quality I expect to see on the big screen.  So please -- that's the multiple form of "plea" -- please help out today if you can.

But this is the beautiful thing about Kickstarter - you don't have to go bankrupt to be a part of making this movie happen.  If 1000 people give just $25, we've reached our goal (arithmetic aside).  Are there 1000 people in the world who want to see Lesbian Zombies on the big screen?  Well, we're going to find out.  If there aren't, then you don't risk a thing - because if we don't raise the full $28,700, your pledge never gets charged to your credit card (and rewards don't get distributed).  But if there are 1000 people out there willing to give - willing to take action - then this movie is going to get made, and pretty soon you'll be laughing your ass off while watching it.

So what do you get out of all this?

Well, if you've read this far, you're thinking this is a fun concept.  I'm guessing you'd like to see this movie get made.  You'll find the perks we're offering to the right, but really, this is the biggest perk of all:  you'll be a part of making what we hope to be a really fun and twisted cult movie for this generation.  You'll be kept apprised of all the news and development of the film.  And most important, you'll have a key insight into what should be done when there's a lesbian zombie invasion.

And it will happen.

Dude, unemployment may be down half a point, but it's still a recession.

Hey, we know how it is.  You want to help, but the money's just not in the wallet.  The other way the money boys are going to take notice is if we've already got an audience itching to pay that ticket price or buy the DVD.  So help us spread the word.  Send this link to your drinking buddy who makes more bucks an hour.  Check out the website.  "Like" us on Facebook.  Follow us on Twitter.  Do whatever you can to shout to the digital world, "I love Lesbian Zombies!"
