ZEA ZOO AND THE LAND OF BOO: AN URBAN FAIRY TALE, a property that has enjoyed international success as an online ebook, will be made into a 3D animated short, producer Family Friendly Films, LLC has announced.
Based on a popular children's poem, ZEA ZOO AND THE LAND OF BOO has targeted the under-served urban youth/family markets, creating branding as a positive youth/family-friendly favorite.
The story centers on a young, disenchanted boy from Bay Village, a town near the Gulf Coast of Mexico. He gets caught in Hurricane Katrina, nearly drowns, and awakens in the "Land of Boo," a magical wonderland under the sea. While there, he befriends unique characters who help him to return home to save his family and friends. At the same time, he must stay one step ahead of King Nino, Queen Elvia and their evil followers the "SeaWeeds," who seek revenge and, ultimately, his death.
Postproduction VIP screenings of the film are being sponsored by Women in Films (Beverly Hills) and Universal Studios. Equity partnership and distribution deals are currently being shopped.
The film is produced by Family Friendly Films, LLC, Family Film Animations Studio and Blackmon Entertainment. To learn more, visit www.landofboo.com or www.zeazooandthelandofboo.com.
