FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MIAMI, FL -- MTI Home Video, the premier studio for independent filmmakers, will release their first animated film; the sci-fi fantasy hit GENE-FUSION, on DVD, VOD and Digital Download May 10, 2011. The film is based on Jeff Amano's (Red Warrior) phenomenally successful comic book and the comic book mini-series written by Ivan Brandon (Doc Savage, Viking), illustrated by Neil Vokes (Dr Strange: From The Marvel Vault), and inked by Jay Geldhof (Grendel).
In the year 2310, a new sport, "Gene-Fusion," is all the rage! In this exciting game, specially trained athletes, called Fusers, design their own super-creature by combining three forms of animal DNA... Four teens, seemingly plucked from obscurity, are trained to be Fusers. They become instant celebrities as they perform before sold out crowds. But what they don't know is that each of them has a role to play in an alien conspiracy to take over the world. Only through learning to work together as a team can these four, young heroes take on this alien threat and save the planet from destruction!
GENE-FUSION was directed by François Brisson (Cinar's Les Exploits D'Arsene Lupin), written by Gabriel Benson (The Ballad Of Sleeping Beauty, Fade From Grace) and produced by Shaun McLaughlin (Batman Beyond, Justice League Unlimited). The film stars Nicolas Canuel, Mark William Hauser, Kaniehtiio Horn, Alison Louder.
