SYNOPSIS

Welcome to Kittytown paints a hilarious, suspenseful, and unforgettable vision of a post-apocalyptic future. After a GMO contamination turns civilization into a wasteland dominated by deadly green soil, Vern (Darren Zimmer), an ailing farmer, struggles to survive.

When he learns of a possible safe haven called “Kittytown,” Vern teams up with another survivor, Ted (Robert Bryn Mann), to find it. Together, the odd couple battle each other, the approaching winter, illness, and the ire of a psychopath (Todd Lewis), leading to heartbreaking, heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny moments.

REVIEW QUOTES

“This is the director’s first feature, and it’s a banger. The direction is subtle and deft, with an organic quality to the acting and mise-en-scène that clearly didn’t exist for the deadly GMO that infected 99.9% of humanity with Sludgebutt.”
Benjamin Franz - Film Threat

“A truly distinctive entry in the post-apocalyptic genre, blending dark humour with a poignant exploration of human connection amidst desolation, offering a fresh perspective on survival and companionship in a world undone by its own technological hubris.”
Phil Wheat - Nerdly

“I can’t remember when a movie drew me into a story more… there is no boring formulaic drivel here - this is something new. Refreshingly new.”
Ryan Kiedrowski - Nomad Road Blog

“Simultaneously a funny satire of the post-apocalyptic genre while also a classic study of how effective character foils can create introspection in an audience.”
Angus McGregor - Honi Soit
