Bizarre and Badass Short Film - !!RENEGADE!!
"I'm not dead. I just need to get up."
You are about to watch one hell of an entertaining short film. It's called "!!RENEGADE!!," and it was directed by Kevin Van Witt and stars Michael Cavanaugh. The story follows a character named Renegade as he battles the evil Dr. Monocle to save his love, Gwenyvier. The short grabbed me from the very beginning, and then shook me around wildlyas I continued to watch. It is an extremely fun ride packed full of action, adventure, romance, comedy, and some great one-liners. It's the best three minutes you will spend today. Here's the synopsis:
Renegade is an homage to the 1940's American pulp magazines, like Thrilling Wonder Stories, Terror Tales and Thrilling Mysterys. These magazines featured cover art by artist like Rudolph Belarski, Tom Blame and Earle Bergey who often drew thinly clothed heroes and heroines fighting off mad scientist, druids, henchmen and goblins. Renegade is Pulp comic fun, with classic arch characters, romance and adventure.
I promise that you're going to enjoy the ridiculous greatness that it is. If this character had his own feature film, I'd watch it!
