Project Name: We All Fall Down
Asking For: $25,000 on Kickstarter
Amount Raised Thus Far (At Time Of Post): $9,400
Days Remaining In Campaign (At Time Of Post): 16
Description: Move over, grownups. The kids’ table is taking charge. Young characters will look to fight off a zombie infestation in We All Fall Down, a planned series directed by Kurt Knight and produced by the team at Arrowstorm Entertainment.
The series’ premise is simple: A deadly virus has turned the world into a flesh-mad hellhole, and only those under the age of 18 are immune to the disease that turns adults into zombies. The result is a society run by children who have quickly lost their youthful innocence. Specifically, the ten episodes of We All Fall Down will center on an 18-year-old protagonist who is looking to take care of his brother before he too is consumed by the virus. The show’s Kickstarter page states the show’s premise more succinctly: “If Lord of the Flies
and Walking Dead had a baby, this is what it’d look like.”Creator Bio: Arrowstorm Entertainment has spent the past decade turning out low-budget productions. As we learn from this image of its previous films and series, the studio tends towards the fantasy and horror genres.
Best Perk: Backers who contribute at least $69 receive several rewards, including a neat survival “card” that fits in your wallet and contains a number of nifty tools.
Why You Should Fund It: The post-apocalyptic genre has been done well online, but given the high production values associated with zombie-style thrillers, there is still plenty of room for a studio like Arrowstorm to carve out a space for itself. The company’s previous entries have served as dependable fare, and We All Fall Down has the interesting premise and sterling presentation it needs to serve as worthwhile entertainment.
The bonus, as far as potential backers are concerned, is that the series has already been shot; the Kickstarter funds will support its post-production needs. We All Fall Down isn’t far from coming to fruition; with your help, it can take the final step.
