Last Studio Standing Announces Upcoming Production Slate

Here’s hoping some of this gets picked up fast!

With multiple offices in Canada, Last Studio Standing has made claim as the BIGGEST North American hand-drawn animation studio in the Western hemisphere. Not only that, but the studio has announced a couple of projects for both film and television that appeal to younger audiences, but what’s even more fascinating is the content they are producing for the adult animation market. This includes both movies AND television projects and they look pretty bad-ass with one of the movies coming from a Philip K. Dick story:

Hinterlands

Sci-fi Television Series based on the story by William Gibson the man who invented cyberspace and the genre of cyber-punk. Set in the near future the plot follows the discovery of a place between earth and mars that contains a passage to another “unknown place” where alternate technologies are present. The trip is a one-way journey as when the astronauts return they are suicidal or dead, and nobody has ever learned what is on the “other side.” Everyone waits in the expectation that someone will someday be able to explain what the “other side” is like, meanwhile the entire earth economy has become dependent on teasing out what information and technology make it back through.

Automation

Set in the near future humankind has been forced underground by a massive war between the USA, China, and Russia. While everyone and everything is being consumed by the war effort a few humans begin to speculate that the war is a myth and may never have even happened. The film explores an uncertain reality where anything may be possible.

Machetes

Machetes follows the enigmatic “EL CURADOR” (THE CURE) on his quest for truth, justice and the Mexican way as he fights through unimaginable odds to free his daughter who has been abducted and brought to the USA as a sex slave. The Curador has become the MacGyver of death from his in-prison training that allows him to turn the most mundane household object into a lethal weapon. He is part of an international “Defensa,” or vigilante network, known as the “Machetes,” composed of working class Mexicans, both in Mexico and the USA, who fight back against cartels, corrupt police, the government, and everyone who stands in the way of justice with the common weapon every poor farmer owns — the machete.
