“Xanadu Hellfire” (2023)
Sunday, April 9th, 2023 (15:51)
JEFELEN was delighted to sign up with The Nitwit Consortium™ to serve as Executive Producer on Justin Armao's fantastical action-comedy, "Xanadu Hellfire" (the latest feature-length instalment in his "Bloodsucka Jones" movie trilogy), which is now available to purchase on region-free blu-ray through the Etsy™ e-commerce platform:
http://www.etsy.com/shop/xanaduhellfire
An eight-year-old girl discovers an improbable means through which to miraculously summon the warrior heroine of her favourite comic book series, "Xanadu Hellfire", from the future to the present, and moreover, from the illustrated pages of fiction to reality! Xanadu's evil sister manages to follow, and things get a bit crazy from there. Inspired by everything from "Conan" to "Thor", "Mad Max" to "Clerks" -- there's bound to be a little something for everyone here. Unless you're a fan of energy beams being emitted from people's hands -- the movie probably could have benefitted from MORE of those, in hindsight...
Independently produced and distributed, "Xanadu Hellfire" is either available on its own, or packaged as part of an Atomic Cotton™ t-shirt & disc collector's bundle. But do take considered note of the disclaimer presented upon the reversible cover sleeve: this film contains a lot of cursing... but it's okay because it was done by nine-year-olds. M'yeah.
Streaming options to follow in June sometime -- watch for future updates...

Well now, look what arrived in the mail!
In addition to my consignment of garments from TeePublic.com, see here an Atomic Cotton™ t-shirt, Sucka's Badass Burgers™ paraphernalia (including burger and fries packaging, along with an assortment of five thermal colour-change tumblers), hand-drawn storyboards (which appear relatively blank in this photograph, due to their grey lead constitution), a shooting breakdown, a used clapperboard (signed by the cast & crew on the reverse side), and a copy of the movie on blu-ray -- what is this, Christmas?! Huge thanks again to Justin and his Nitwit Consortium™ for getting this lot to me, all the way from the other side of the planet! Champion. #IndependentCinemaSupported

When producing an independent sci-fi epic on a tight micro-budget (developed in conjunction with a faux tie-in comic book prop, no less), innovative revenue-raising techniques must be called into play.
Disclosure: the substantial proceeds of the Swear Jar™ in point of fact went directly to the two young starlets of the movie (at their expletive-laden insistence!).

Close-up focus on the comic cover and stamp corner box illustrations, revealing late-'90s stylistic sensibilities in detail. The identities of the artists responsible have since been lost to the wasteland sands of time, as they were individually problematic to deal with, and thus elicited further utilisation of the Swear Jar™...
Fun fact: only a half dozen sequential pages were produced for this singular publication, which were then repeated several times over to fill out the bulk of the printed issue. #MovieMagic #AshcanTechnique #ComicsCodeApproved

The initial pitch poster, seen here as it was presented to me back in 2021:

Anyone out there who has already acquired a "Xanadu Hellfire" blu-ray would be familiar with this, as it effectively serves as one side of the reversible cover inlay card, but here is the finalised promotional one-sheet:

Design B, serving as the reverse blu-ray packaging option which, if I'm to be subjectively honest, I prefer of the two, personally, with its amethyst colour palette and crafty integration of the original key art as part of its ensemble showcasing:

And finally (for now...), anyone who's not only seen "Xanadu Hellfire", but watched through the closing credits in their entirety, would have surely noticed this little teaser tucked away at the end there -- indeed, the conceptual seeds have been tantelisingly sewn, ladies and gents, so if popular demand might happen to ensue, we'd be gladly obliged to look into the prospect of making a SEQUEL...! #LetUsKnow

Okay, so as an update, it's been three months since I announced the physical release of "Xanadu Hellfire", and while discs absolutely remain available to the consumer public (so be sure to get your orders in!), it's now also possible to download the movie from Apple TV™, either as a rental or purchase:
