Synopsis
Welcome to Kittytown paints a hilarious, suspenseful, and unforgettable vision of a post-apocalyptic future. After a GMO contamination reverts civilization into a wasteland dominated by a deadly green soil, Vern (Darren Zimmer), an ailing farmer, is barely surviving.
When Vern learns of a possible safe haven with everything one could need, called "Kittytown," he teams up with another survivor, Ted (Robert Bryn Mann), to find it. Together, the odd couple fight for survival against each other, the harsh upcoming winter, illness, and the ire of a cannibal psychopath (Todd Lewis), to heartbreaking, heartwarming, and delightfully laugh-out-loud results.
The movie strikes a tonal balance between dark comedy and post-apocalyptic horror, with memorable characters, deft performances, and a journey you'll want to watch over again.
Welcome to Kittytown is a micro-budget production from the Canadian prairies, that reminds us about the value of friendship, trust, and the human element that makes a place feel like home.
“Here I was at the start of the pandemic, editing this post-apocalyptic film that deals with a shortage of toilet paper, then I look in our bathroom, and my wife and I only have 3 rolls of toilet paper left…it was surreal. Life imitating my art.”
— Douglas Luciuk (Director)
