Pranksta Kickstarts with Kickstarter!

Yeah! After a nail-biting 28 days, The Halloween Pranksta met AND surpassed its Kickstarter fundraising goal on August 10. Check out Carl’s great presentation and the list of the awesome team, including the amazing Susan Dee and Kasia Kruk, who made this phase a success.

About the Director

Carl Paolino is the mastermind behind The Halloween Pranksta. In addition to writing, producing and directing, Carl also has termite superpowers. He built the entire set of the film's suburban neighborhood in his New York City based studio.

Whether creating for feature films, television or commercials, Carl's resourcefulness and vision add magic to the mediums he works on. His stop-motion and puppet-design handiwork helped create the famous look for MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. Carl also produced and directed a stop-motion TV series that later became Celebrity Face Off, a sketch comedy feature film for AMC.

One of the voices featured in that film was Mark Hamill (Star Wars, The Joker in WB's animated Batman series). Now Mr. Hamill will be voicing Bronte, a huge, talking tarantula and Beck, a python with hunger pains.

Surrounded by a small but mighty crew, Carl is excited to see production on The Halloween Pranksta taking off. We'll report production developments and other goodies on this blog as they happen. Stay tuned friends...
