Overview

Synopsis

Clown prejudice is on the rise. CORKY, a destitute clown, is forced to integrate himself into "normal" society. Senator PATCHES O'TOOLE fights for clown rights from within the government system. More radical clowns take matters into their own hands. Corky meets VALENTINE, commander of the notorious freedom fighting gang - The Big Shoes Brigade. Agent CARLSON investigates the Brigade's newest member - Corky. The gangs antics spin out of control. They say they want peace, but all Corky can see is their lust for war. With a revolution on the rise, Corky must decide whether to fight along side or against his own kind.

i HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHY SOME PEOPLE HAVE A FEAR OF CLOWNS

Donal O.

Weirdly creepy. Could be a great film.

Edited to add

After watching all the trailers, I think I would like to see a western trilogy or three part series. Warpaint, Rabbit, Rosalind Revenge. Kind of like Baz Lurman's Red Curtain trilogy.

It would be a great exploration of bigotry and fear from three different genres.

It’s quite a weird film Idea, clowns and all. To me this film is a bit similar to Iron Sky, in terms of idea. The HUGE problem with Iron Sky was that the film didn’t take itself seriously. So my suggestion is if this film does get produced make sure the script takes itself seriously. Play it straight don’t try and make it funny the comedy will come from how serious it’s taking itself.

This is a kickass idea - fantasy discrimination is a great way to distance viewers enough from social justice that they aren't blinded by their own prejudices.

Daniel R.

Kinda like it. Weird enough to be interesting. Don't know if this will work as a feature film, but definitely worth watching so far....

David P.

Weird concept... looks nicely crafted though. Good cinematography

Joe M.

Well shot trailer. I hate clowns(as most people do I expect) but by providing a political backdrop to the film you have given it a frisson that speaks to many a Canadian. Are the clowns unionists? Are they environmentalists? You'll have to see the film to find out.

Janine F.

Creepy clowns. Enough said.

Karyn T.

Not grabbed by this at the first watching of the trailer. I can't imagine watching a whole film of this.

Clowning around?

Michelle E.

Don't know about a feature length version of this, but the acting and directing is pretty solid.

Some parts were a bit skeptical for me but I thought it was interesting. I wasn't sure if it was a comedy or a comedy trying to be serious. but I thought it was well done. Good make up too

Kaitlyn M.
Posted 7 months ago

Well, no doubt you've got a unique premise for your film! Can't say I've seen anything of this nature before.

Solidly shot trailer, however I feel like it's still lacking any emotional appeal. As a viewer I don't really feel like I'm connected to this world or these characters at all.

Mary G.
Posted 7 months ago

The clown idea is an interesting concept... I wonder how the writer came up with this idea...? I'm guessing it's a different angle on racism, bravo on creativity!

Sierra G.

This could be hilarious.

Iwona b.

Not very original

Anthony S.
Posted 7 months ago

Interesting concept, reminds me of Joker from Batman.

Michelle G.
Posted 7 months ago

Something about this I just don't like all that much - reminds me of XMEN but with clowns. Good makeup jobs and your main clown is really believable and reminds me a lot of Heath Ledger in a good way.

Donald Y.
Posted 7 months ago

A really good concept. It reeks of Jack Nicholson. I expect him to pop up in the trailer.

Matt L.
Posted 7 months ago

Wow... that was pretty intense. This could turn into something totally original and creepy as hell.

Anne R.

Hmmmmm some artistic things about this project are really good, but I just have a hard time taking the whole clown thing seriously, so it sort of fails for me as a thriller.

Nikki B.
Posted 7 months ago

The trailer is good quality, but it looks like this is trying to recreate the joker. Also, the idea of clowns vs regular humans is cheesy.

Kelly S.

Clowns scare me but really liked this anyway! Good job

George T.

Clowns NOT my thing.

Bella M.

Scary business!

Richard B.
Posted 7 months ago

Doesn't appeal to me... Seems kind of like a bad attempt to see the "other side" of evil villains like the joker.

Ben R.
Posted 7 months ago

Another fantastic idea. way to make the watchers think outside of our norm.

Emma S.

This project looks like a clowncar full of fun. And we all know how full that is!

Shannon P.

Seriously, though, awesomeness. Clowns creep me out and this trailer did the same. I'd love to see this as a movie!

Sue M.

...just stay away from the heath ledger joker look.
This looks both hilarious and absolutely terrifying

E-Rock L.

This will do absolutely nothing to abate my fear of clowns. Might as well embrace it then.

Brian R.
Posted 7 months ago

Love the concept... everything about this gives me chills and makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Thomas A.
Posted 7 months ago

Great acting and well shot but would this trailer have been written if the late Heath Ledger hadn't reinvented the evil, maniacal super criminal clown in a certain popular comic book action franchise?

Rebecca G.

Clowns scare me but this looks interesing

Gemma H.

...Different...

Never has a film had an opportunity to drown a person with a seltzer bottle, you missed your chance!

I think this would work if it was as intelligent as films like V for Vendetta and The Dark Knight... Nice introduction of the ethics of "Clown Prejudice" as a theme...

Romuald H.

I think it was very well incorporated how the pitch video incorporated the Clown attack! Wish there was more to see. :)

Jolianne L.

Children of the Joker? Nice idea!

Katie T.
Posted 8 months ago

Not sure an entire feature can be sustained on this premise, but it's well shot. Felt light on story though.

Michael L.
Posted 8 months ago

I think your concept is interesting. The symbolism is an interesting hook. This is a real challenge to execute in a 'post heath ledger' world -- he really put the final mark on the whole 'lunatic clown role'. I encourage your team to really dig deep and find some fresh approaches to the clown characterizations in the script -- I think you have an interesting opportunity to do some fresh/new things that go beyond the "crazy clown" thing. I'm not sure how much research you have done, but there is a very interesting history to 'clown-ology' and also the various symbols and rules that certain types of clowns live by -- there's a whole variety of types of clowns and specific traits they must adopt to maintain proper tradition of the art. Spend some time researching it and your concept and script will be better off for it.

Todd D.

Awesome concept, love the parellels that are in society today. I hope to see the whole film someday!!!

Mike L.

this story is far fetched and should only be a short film at best.

Kellie M.

Absolutely hate clowns. An entire movie of them? I just couldn't see it. Sorry :/

kyle b.

Very creative in concept I'd like to see the full film to see where they take it

Katherine H.

I feel like the talent showcased in front and behind the camera could have been better used on a less silly premise. Too bad.

Craziness! I hate clowns but I would watch this!

Timothy C.

Cool idea, but had me laughing a bit to be honest! If you're not in the mood it does come off as slightly comedic/satirical.

Arron K.

The clown at the bus stop looks so sad. But SCARY in the picture! I love the social commentary aspect. wasn't expecting that.

Samantha G.

Marina L.

Jogan M.

Oh ya. Creepy....and fun. Finally the clowns get their revenge. The evil laugh at the end actually gave me the willies. Nice.

Peter D.
Posted 8 months ago

Terrible idea. Seriously though, a fight for clown rights?! This should be categorized as a comedy cause this is a joke. And why are all of your clowns Joker wannabe's? Obviously character development, originality, and plot development were not high priorities.

Brian S.
Posted 8 months ago

just awsome

Arron K.
Posted 8 months ago

I LOVE THIS!!! It's a perfect satire on diversity and hate-crimes.

Amanda C.
Posted 8 months ago

Sort of a different concept except the clowns look like the joker off batman and the movie "IT" is being remade.

Barbara K.
Posted 8 months ago

so many kinds of awesome - actor performances, film quality, make-up, social commentary. can't wait to see the whole thing!

Natalie H.

not a big fan of clowns but this is creepy, the camera gets pretty blurry a couple times but overall its not too bad

Cool original concept and creepy fun trailer. Tijana Popovic is the bomb!

Sara S.

would I trust this project with 1 million? nope. but that doesn't mean it's not an interesting idea...

Trevor G.
Posted 8 months ago

I'm scared of Clowns, but they say one should face their fears... plus that guy in the kilt is really turning my crank...

Christopher L.
Posted 8 months ago

My god this is a cool idea! Out of what grouping of genius minds did this come from? Go War Paint!!

Shannon E.
Posted 8 months ago

A familiar, real-life concept with a wildly unique twist, this trailer leaves me chills both from the violent plotline and the creepiness of clowns. I need to see this movie!
