THE WEIRD KIDZ

Zach Passero

WKZ NEW Poster_small

Wyatt takes his girlfriend, his 12-year-old brother and two puberty-stricken friends camping in the desert. Disregarding the warning of a filling station owner about the many potential dangers awaiting them, the group of youngsters soon find themselves confronted by a mad policeman, a communal sect and a monster hungry for human flesh. Zach Passero spent eight years on his trashy and irreverent, entirely hand-drawn feature, inspired mainly by Stranger Things and Scooby-Doo, and produced by director Lucky McKee (The Woman, All Cheerleaders Die).
