HOLD THE FORT, Coming Soon to Kickstarter, Casts Julian Smith: "Lucas and Jenny are getting settled in their new home when Jerry Klein, the HOA president, knocks on their door. He invites them to the neighborhood's annual “Equinox Party.” Ready to embrace suburban life, Lucas excitedly accepts.
But this is no ordinary party...A banner hangs at the clubhouse's entrance: Welcome to the Equinox. Please don't die. There are talks of a portal to hell, dangerous mythical creatures, copious amounts of Moonshine, and a legendary gun wielding hero, McScruffy.
Lucas, thinking this is all a joke, hesitantly mingles with the other party guests when the inevitable happens.
The portal to hell opens...
And the first monsters attack."
Veteran YouTuber Julian Smith will star in the film, which is aiming for a September production start date. Hold The Fort is a Horror Comedy from award winning writer/director William Bagley (The Murder Podcast) and produced by Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log, Mind's Eye), Julian Smith, Luke Williams (Band of Rouges) and Emmy-winning producer Matt Dodd.
