Welcome to Kittytown

Directed by  Douglas James Luciuk, 88 min, USA

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 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.
