Broken Frontier

Halo-8 Entertainment, Inc., an independent film studio specializing in iconoclastic and music-driven cult movies and their related soundtracks, announce their first of three episodic ‘illustrated film’ productions of GODKILLER to be released on DVD.  The first limited-edition disc GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US, an epic story of a boy’s quest to save his sister, will be released nationwide on October 6th, 2009.

The second episode of GODKILLER will be released on November 24th and the third will be on January 26, 2010, the same day Halo-8 will launch its Theatrical Premiere of the feature film.

Based on the comic book writer-director Matt Pizzolo created with illustrator Anna Muckcracker, GODKILLER takes place in a dark-future after economic collapse, after nuclear holy war, and after Earth is colonized by alien races. Tommy and his kid sister Lucy live in an orphanage in one of the few remaining city-states, but Lucy is critically ill and desperately in need of a new heart. Tommy’s odyssey to find a new heart for his sister begins when he follows an organ-stealing prostitute named Halfpipe out of the city-state and into the savage borderland known as Outer City. GODKILLER mixes unforgiving brutality, quantum physics, conspiracy theory, and secret history for an iconoclastic hero’s journey like none before it.

The GODKILLER illustrated film series stars the voice talents of: Lance Henriksen (AVP: Alien vs Predator), Danielle Harris (Rob Zombie’s Halloween I & II), Justin Pierre (singer of Motion Picture Soundtrack), Nicki Clyne (Battlestar Galactica), Davey Havok (lead singer for AFI) , Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons), Bill Moseley (Repo! The Genetic Opera), Katie Nisa (Threat, Dollhouse), and singer/writer/actress, Lydia Lunch.

Halo-8, the studio that recently released the collected mega-popular XOMBIE: DEAD ON ARRIVAL flash-animation web-series animated by James Farr- which turned into a comic book that Dreamworks are making into a feature film- are currently in pre-production of the ‘illustrated film’ XOMBIE: REANIMATED.

Award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo (also CEO of Halo-8) teamed with illustrator Anna Muckcracker and animator Brian Giberson to create ‘illustrated films’ mixing the elements of anime, radio drama, video games, and motion comics. Utilizing the original artwork from the comic book, the 'illustrated film' adds 3D CGI, motion animation, visual effects, elaborate sound design, music, and voice-acting performances.

Pizzolo explained "when we decided to make an anime adaptation of the comic book, I couldn't see how a traditional animated approach would do justice to Anna's incredibly lush and detailed illustrations. It made perfect sense to adapt the medium to suit her art, rather than vice versa."
