Embark on a full-blown cinema fever dream through the whimsical wasteland of Trashtown USA. When wanton minx AP learns that she is cursed, she sets out in search of a cosmic reset on an overnight odyssey filled with former lovers, clients, psychics, sugar daddies, money, romance, and liberation. Shot on dreamy 16mm, Fucktoys is a striking feature debut from writer-director-star Annapurna Sriram, which pulls no punches as it confronts class, sexuality, and exploitation. Working with Sriram’s legion of devoted fans, Popular Demand will bring the film to theaters next year. More details coming soon.
Flashgitz’ animated series takes its rightful place as a tabletop phenomenon. Space King is an unhinged animated series about a giant tyrant in power armor and the Psycho Warriors desperate for his approval. We helped Flashgitz roll out the miniatures-based tabletop game that lets players squad up to murder, steal, loot, and compete for Space King’s heart. More than 26,000 backers answered the call, raising more than $9.7 million in a month.
The unpredictable improv game show comes home as your new favorite party game. Dropout’s Game Changer is a cult phenomenon: a game show where every episode is a different game, and players figure out the rules as they go. To bring that experience home, we designed the game’s crowdfunding campaign as a massively-multiplayer game show that challenged players to collaborate, compete, and unlock prizes, raising over $7 million.
For over a year, Fucktoys has been winning audiences and building a fandom at festivals and special screenings. Now, we’re working with those fans to put the film where it belongs: in movie theaters nationwide.
Fucktoys – written, directed by, and starring Annapurna Sriram – draws viewers into a girly-pop neo-camp fever dream, and marks the arrival of an unapologetic and authentic new voice. We’re also proud to announce that it’s Popular Demand’s first theatrical release.
Join the newsletter now to find out how you can bring this movie to theaters next year.
