Cattle mutilations... coming soon to a cinema near you?

By Robbie Graham Silver Screen Saucers

 
A Colorado-based production company is seeking funding for a feature film about the animal mutilation phenomenon. Currently being pitched through the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.com, Out There... is described as follows:

“Vic and Jonet are two stoner coeds at CSU-Pueblo who have just moved from the dorms into the only gated community in town. They have a tendency to tell crazy stories, convincing themselves and some of their friends there are monsters in Runyon Lake and ghosts in Bonforte Hall. Their best friends – four guys who never know just how much of the girls’ wild conspiracies they should believe – mostly think Vic and Jonet are just a couple of crazy stoners.

Then, people start disappearing, and cows show up skinned and still breathing! The girls come up with a thousand different theories as to what's causing the strange events... But even the girls couldn't have made up an ending as terrifying as what's really Out There...”

Concept trailer...

 

According to the film’s writer/director, BonnéBartron (whose uncle co-wrote the Bigfoot movie Harry and the Hendersons), Out There... will feature “actual UFO and Cattle Mutilation sites” in Colorado, as well as “actual mutilation photos and mutilated specimen samples,” which were donated to the filmmakers by UFO researcher/investigator Chuck Zukowski, who also collected and processed the samples.

On his UFOnut website, Zukowski writes:

“When I found out about this project... I contacted Bonné and offered my assistance to help her develop the animal mutilation sequence so it appears as real as possible. My intention is to raise public awareness [of] this strange phenomenon by educating the public, showing them what’s actually involved with these cases.”

Bartron says her team at Angry Puppy Productions wants to keep their movie “as real as possible” and is keen to point out that “all of the locations in the film are actual locations in southern Colorado. We'll be shooting the majority of the film in Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Woodland Park.”

The onscreen mutilations will be realized using “old school techniques, like real blood effects, props and dummies,” but with some “new school technological upgrades! We're excited to be making this movie as tactile as it is freaky!” says Bartron.
 
Bartron is seeking to raise $200 thousand to shoot her movie, which is intended for international distribution.It was originally funded by two different producers at different times,” Bartron says, “but... circumstances put the pause button on us... so, this time we decided to bring it to kickstarter.com and put it in the hands of the people! We need each and every one of you to make this movie happen, putting in even a single dollar will get us all that much closer to making this movie the way it's intended to be! Authentically different!”
