Left 4 Dead Fan Movie Seeks Funding

We originally mentioned the Left 4 Dead Fan Movie early last year. Honestly I had forgotten about it until I recently received an e-mail from them. Now, almost at it’s third year of being worked on they are requesting a round of funding to be able to fully put together their project. A perfect little extra for fans of Left 4 Dead and indie zombie movies on helping get this one going.

“Left 4 Dead the Movie” is the first serious project that want to realize a movie based on the hit videogame from Valve: Left 4 Dead.
This is a non profit project and overall it is a fan movie, it is not connected to Valve Software for now. This doesn’t mean that it will be a low quality product.
We are all moved from a strong passion for cinema, film-making and videogames. All those who are working on this project have skills in various fields that hopefully will let us to realize a good product, with a professional profile.
Our intention is to promote ourself as international artists, and to satisfy every fan who have been waiting for something like this since the game came out.
It’s not the first time that a fan movie growth enough to become something more important, even without large resources or funds.

The Impact
This movie is like a dream coming true for all of the Left 4 Dead fans, who wants to see this videogame coming to life. We are sure of our potential, and making this movie could make Valve Software starting it’s own official Left 4 Dead Movie. Moreover, if people will like our work, this will let us to realize more project like this in future, and maybe a Left 4 Dead 2 Movie, of course.

What We Need & What You Get
Money raised by this campaign will be entirely used to rent some specific equipment we need to keep an high quality final product, and to pay actors for dubbing the movie and offer it in English to you. We have basic equipment that let us to realize the good stuff you all have seen on youtube, but rent specific equipment has a cost, and we need it for long time. I’m talking about professional cinematic lighting, lenses for the camera, material for the sets and so on. In change of your prescious help, we can offer a mention in the credits and promotional material from the movie once it will be completed.
All the money will be spent this way and no one of us, from director to actor and technicians, will take even only 1$.
Best regards to all of you and thank for your help.

Other Ways You Can Help
If you can’t directly help us with a donation, we will be grateful the same way if you spread this voice between your parents and friend, or site and blog you may have. More people knows about this, more we’ll be near to the founding goal..

Left For Dead Boomer Plushy

Left For Dead fans the world over are ecstatic about what could possibly be the coolest plushy to hit the market in YEARS. That’s right folks they made a Boomer.. plushy. I don’t know if I want to shoot it, run in fear from this, or give it a hug but regardless of what you decide you have to admit it’s damn cute!

When we say this Boomer plush is detailed, down to the last bile-infected boil, we’re not even kidding. Even his moobs are surprisingly realistic. TMI? Maybe. The Boomer is the first in a series of Left 4 Dead infected plush designed by Alexandria Neonakis, the artist behind the TF2, L4D and L4D2 holiday greeting cards.

He’s spherical, in an unlucky 13″ x 13″! He belches! He is covered in tumors! But considering all that, he looks pretty happy and is a healthy shade of pink. Squeeze the wart on his right hand and he’ll reward you with one of 10 in-game Boomer sounds from Left 4 Dead 2. Which gurgle, burp, or vomiting sound will you get next? Introducing the plush version of the Boomer special infected, complete with 10 in-game Boomer sounds from Left 4 Dead 2. He’ll soon be joined by other plush special infected to wreak havoc upon your toy collection!
