User:Urgoz/Kaila's Party

Kaila's Go-Away Party is a 2009 film directed by the Joy Brothers, set to have a limited release this summer in parts of Washington and Oregon. The budget for the film was roughly $230,000, which includes local advertising costs. Many of the roles in the film are played by unknown actors in order to give them a foothold in their professional acting career. The film was written by Joy McGruff, who also plays the role of Yana Mertes.

Plot
As Kaila gets ready to leave for college, she finds herself later abducted by fellow high-school friend Leopold. As a result, Kaila's friends, Yana, Michelle, and Melody, must combine their superpowers to locate Kaila and arch-nemesis Leopold. However, Leopold has unknown accomplices, which go by the name of Marcy and Brianna. The "axis" and the "allies" square off against each other in a bloody three vs. three deathmatch, fighting over Kaila. While the brawl ensues, Melody finds herself in a similar situation as Kaila: kidnapped. With no one knowing who could have kidnapped Melody, the two forces join together to try and locate the missing protagonist. After days of searching, Melody's location had been triangulated to a blacklisted operative by the name of Skippy the Bounty Hunter. The final confrontation commences between the six combined heroes against the excommunicated deity. Skippy, feeling overwhelmed by the battle, desperately wraps his body around all his foes, then triggers an implosive device to disintegrate everybody and everything. Fortunately, both Kaila and Melody survive, making it to college safely. Joy!

Production
The film was shot using a Canon XL H1S at the beginning of 2009. Post-production took nearly four weeks to complete, and private viewings will begin a week before the film's official release.

"Our original plan for the film was a more original and serious plot. After we got feedback from CAM Studios, we decided to alter the script to a lighter and more comedic tone in order to reach a wider audience."

Cast
More prominent actors were originally planned to be auditioned for the roles, such as an actor by the name of "Ben" (no last name was specified during the interview). However, due to scheduling conflicts and personal reasons, "Ben" was unable to play the role of Leopold.
