After three years of production and more than 10 million trailer views, Kung Fury has been released on the Internet at last. Depending on your mood, this can well be THE best film of all time… or the most stupid. Either way, it’s blasting fun.
The path of this short constitutes the ultimate Cinderella tale. David Sandberg is a Swedish visual effect artist who one good day decided to quit his job to follow his dream of making movies. He sold all his possessions (including his beloved couch and TV), moved back with his mom and began to mastermind what can now be regarded as Kickstarter’s most revered film project ever. He managed to assemble a small team of friends, cast himself as the lead actor and shot the entire project against green screen with a prosumer digital camera in a small office. The resulting 2 minute trailer really set the internet on fire allowing them to raise a whopping 650k and attracting the attention of Hollywood agents and producers. Following the incredible success of the crowdfunding campaign, major talent representation agency WME Entertainment (Adele, Nine Inch Nails, Usher) signed Sandberg and took him to L.A to pitch his Kung Fury as a feature film.

F***ing awesome!
A nostalgic and highly entertaining homage to 80’s B-action films and the culture of VHS video. Infinitely more memorable than many of the blockbusters Hollywood has delivered this year so far.
Filmmaker. 3D artist. Procrastination guru. I spend my time doing VFX work for my upcoming film Servicios Públicos, a sci-fi dystopia about robots, overpopulated cities and tyrant states.Feel free to contact me on Twitter if you ever want to discuss my reviews and have a nice chat about movies. Multi-million dollar screenwriting deals and invitations to the Playboy mansion are also welcome. @IamPineros
