(Newswire.net — February 11, 2015) Portland, OR — The upcoming Kickstarter by Ryan Cloutier is designed to raise awareness and help with local cat shelter – Furry Friends. Furry Friends strives to help cats in the Vancouver-Portland Metropolitan and surrounding area receive the medical services and companionship they need.
Cloutier decided to do this in an off-beat way – a movie! Not just any movie, but using two of everyone’s favorites – cats and zombies!
“Everyone either likes cats, or they like zombies” said Cloutier, “so this sort of film seemed like a win-win. We were lucky to be able to work with Furry Friends; they are a great organization and it feels good to help cats in need”.
Zombie Cats From Mars is a campy spin on classic sci-fi horror. The story involves three households, each facing their own problems, who become the victims of a Zombie Cat invasion. The central character, Billy, plays the film’s hero. He aims to save his family, and the neighborhood from the Zombie Cats. Filming involved the use of live-action cats, as well as realistic puppet cats.
After a stint with the Marines, Cloutier relocated to Portland and started a theater company named LastRites Productions that focused on stage recreations of classic B-movies such as The Brain that Wouldn’t Die and the The Wild World of Batwoman. Cloutier doesn’t let grass grow under his feet and has also participated in a number of movie projects including Pickled, Holed-Up, Moon Pi, and Glare. Not only did he write the screenplay for Zombie Cats from Mars, he produced it, arranged much of the music for it, and even briefly appears in the film.
Cloutier is a talented musician and arranger serving his country in the Oregon National Guard Army Band – the 234th Army Band – affectionately known as “Oregon’s Own”.
By pledging, you’ll get a DVD – and you’ll help spread our zombie cat madness to the masses.
