Description

Action. Adventure. Love. Aliens. Guns. SAKOOZ!

Leodore hates his new job working on a children’s television show until he bumps into Pinky. After falling superficially in love with someone who he presumes is a beautiful young woman inside an alien costume, his world is completely turned upside down when he discovers that she’s actually a creature from another planet. This shock doesn’t have time to settle in as the SAKOOZ are soon taken away by a group of ruthless criminals, and it’s up to Leodore to save the day!

We have been working on this concept for several years now, and are still very much in development. Chris Hocking and Nicholas Colla are currently in the process of putting together a first draft of the feature length screenplay.
