DRUG WARS. JETSKIS. VANCOUVER.

STEEL VIPER FORCE: Fiero's Redemption is a feature-length action film that follows Lance Fiero, a booze-ravaged former member of Vancouver's last great special ops team: the Steel Viper Force.

Stripped of his pride and his liquor, Fiero is forced to carve out a new brand of justice on the drug-addled streets of his petulant city.

"Excuse me, I have a human to hunt."

- Lance Fiero

Erupting from the bullet-riddled legacy of Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, and Norris, STEEL VIPER FORCE will marry the hard-assed bravado of 80s and 90s action films and the bold, shameless camp of Seagal's immense straight-to-DVD catalogue. Homage? More like blood-trenched tribute.

A Deadly, Powerful, Cunning, Deadly Force.

To pull off a job this big you need a team as crazy as they are brilliant. Stealing from the finest filmmaking circles in Canada, we are an elite force of internationally recognized, professional filmmakers and comedians united by our talent and our passion for action.

The Next Step.

Like all beginnings, this beginning is just the beginning. There is so much you don't even know about yet.

Excited?: Wait till you
see the teaser.

Heard enough?: Help make it happen.

What's in it for you?: Sweet, sweet perks.

Don't trust us?: We trust us.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!

We are awed by your generousity, support and enthusiasm for our film,
and raised over $3,000 through cash & online donations!

Check out some of the press our campaign received:

And though we didn't meet our IndieGoGo funding goal,
we're still offering perks in return for PayPal donations.

Bruce Willis and the rest of his iron-balled ilk were given no less than 28 million dollars to make Die Hard. We need...less.

Having recruited an elite team capable of maximizing even the modest-est of budgets, we need a mere $10,000 to set in motion events that will change the course of Vancouver-based action films forever.

Plus, with every donation you make, you'll receive an even seriously awesomer reward.

Perks worth dying (on-screen) for.

You help us, we'll make you a star. Below is a list of real perks for you and anyone else who helps make STEEL VIPER FORCE an awesome reality.

BULLET POETRY: $10; For $10 Kyles will compose one of the sexiest, most action-obsessed haikus (Japanese super-poems) ever written, dedicated to you.

BEER KOOZIE: $20; Donate $20 and you'll get your very own STEEL VIPER FORCE beer koozie designed especially for enjoying beer and other fine imbibe-ables.

ACTION MOVE: $50; Contribute $50 to the cause and STEEL VIPER FORCE star Kyles McKay will make a video demonstrating an action move made up by you. All we need from you is the name, Kyles will do the rest. We like "Filth Elbow," for example.

POWER PLAY: $50; Send us $50 and the name of your boss or any other co-worker/rival and Kyles will record a video in his den, either seducing them with his silken words or shit-talking them with his dagger wit.

NECK TATT: $100; Donate $100 and we'll tattoo your face (or any other image of your choosing) on the neck of a character in the film. Make it $200 and we'll put that tatt right on their face.

CHAMPAGNE ROOM SEX: $100; For $100 Kyles will design an elaborate sex position for you and as many as three friends. Plan will be presented in both video and blueprint format.

ETYMOLOGIST: $250; Pitch $250 and you can pick either the first or last name of a character in the film. Don't worry, the character will be explicitly referred to. Buster AssMouth here we come.

FACE TIME: $250; For $250 we will airbrush a large image of your face onto the T-shirt worn prominently by Donna, a cigarette smoking dame in the film. The entire cast will sign the shirt and we will deliver it to your house.

STREET PIRATE PARADE: $250; Donate $250 and we'll fit you up as an on-camera member of the Street Pirates (led by Hot Hot Heat's Steve Bays), one of the gangs plaguing Fiero's Vancouver.

DEATH SCENE: $500; For $500 we'll (fake) kill you on camera then give you a DVD with your scene and the complete HD footage from the shoot. Maybe we set you on fire, maybe you're one of four henchmen who are simultaneously impaled by a piece of rebar. Anything could happen.

CUSTOM DISTILLERY: $1,000; For $1,000 we'll produce a yet-to-exist alcohol of your design and make an ad for that alcohol featuring you as the spokesperson. For example we could create Garth's Fist of Strength Ale. Think Cheetah Power Surge, only sexier.

BOOZE CRUISE: $5,000; For $5,000 we'll rent a party boat, create a brand new alcohol for you (see CUSTOM DISTILLERY), and Kyles McKay will create drinks with it for you and seven friends as you float around Coal Harbour. This is the stag/stagette/never-getting-married party you've always wanted.

THE YOU PARADE: $15,000; For $15,000 we will arrange a city-sanctioned parade for whatever person or cause you like, complete with: a high school band, (at least) five floats dedicated to different elements of your life, several local celebrities, and a Santa impersonator.

NAME YOUR PRICE: ???; We want to make this film. If there's a big idea you don't see here that you'd like to make happen, get in touch and we'll work something out.

We'll be tweeting and posting the perks as they happen. GET ON IT.

Got a business? Let's make a deal.

We're going straight to the top. There are innovative, fully-integrated cross-promotional opportunities designed for businesses or big-minded individuals, and we're pursuing partners at this very moment. If you want in, have your people get in touch with our people today.

AN ELITE FORCE.

We're not bragging, we're just warning you: these ain't no bums making this film.

Our team is comprised of members of Weekend Leisure, The Shots, Manhussy, Bronx Cheer, Pump Trolley Comedy and Hot Hot Heat.

Kyles McKay

Super Executive Producer Creative Director / Actor / Writer / Entrepreneur / Genius

Part hero, part renegade, part faux ammunitions-enthusiast, Kyles McKay is the face of STEEL VIPER FORCE and its star character, Lance Fiero. When not producing sweet movies, Kyles comandeers a successful jetski business and brews hooch in his basement.

Twitter Wisdom

Curtis Grahauer: Executive Producer / Director / Writer (Story); Curtis is Weekend Leisure's primary director and editor, as well as one of the initial creative forces behind SVF. He's also a practicing artist, one that knows way too much about action movies. We dare to you challenge him to a straight-to-DVD trivia contest.

Cameron MacLeod: Executive Producer / Writer (Story & Screenplay) / Actor; Cam is an actor, comedian, one half of Manhussy and the comedy director of both Music Waste and the Olio Festival. You might have spotted him in The Party or as the staple host of the monthly Hero Show at the China Cloud Theatre. (People say he bears a striking resemblance to Kyles.); Twitter

Christy Nyiri: Executive Producer / Production Designer; Christy is a member of Weekend Leisure and designs pretty much everything for SVF (including this site). She's also responsible for the webs/graphics of countless other projects, and enjoys power lunching and saying she's "busy".; Twitter | www

Amber Daniels: Producer / wonder woman; The sole female component of The Shots, Amber produces things like real life tv shows, real life internet shows and lady jokes. She feels her most comfortable in a pantsuit and has never met a production she couldn't organize.; Twitter

Martin Dudzik: Director of Photography; Martin is going to make our film as beautiful as he can with his magical Eastern European eye for mood lighting. He was born with a light meter in his pocket and a camera op on speed dial. BAM.; www

Jeremy Schaulin-Rioux: Editor; This guy! He's a member of The Shots and we've heard he's made some very popular streetball videos. He's also super good at street stunts and eating, in general.; Twitter

Ang Nasiakos: Special Effects Supervisor; Ang is a member of The Shots and has recently returned to Vancouver to make pirate ship cars and movie magic. No word yet as to whether he's found what he's looking for.

Pietro Sammarco: Composer / Sound Design / Writer (Story); Pietro is an audio genius. He's an invaluable part of Weekend Leisure and has mixed local favourites like The Party. When booming, he definitely makes sure it points straight down the throat.; www

Steve Bays: Actor / Music Consultant; Ever since Steve's cameo in The Jetsking King: Redux, he hasn't been able to say no to an action-movie role, nor to help produce the soundtrack. Oh yeah, he's also the lead singer of Hot Hot Heat, NBD.; Twitter

Alex Rybalko & Bret Fernets: Camera Department; We wondered, why settle for just one camera op? Alex is a devout lover of Canons (the brand) and whispers sweet nothings to them in Ukranian, while we were just plain lucky to have Bret emerge from a hole in Saskatoon just in time to work on SVF.

Christina Byrne: Makeup; Christina follows her mother's footsteps as a makeup artist and wandered in from Mexico City to do our production. She's a grad of VFS and has been doing wonders turning comedians into hobos.

Ayma Letang: Art Director; We stuck the multitalented Ayma in charge of our wardrobe and art department. We also found out she can act so we're listing her as Kyles' understudy and stunt double.

Ryan Hennigar: Assistant Director; Ryan can write a call sheet like nobody's business while breaking down scripts left, right and centre. His idea of a fun night is slating till 4am. Or it will be shortly, anyways.

Tom Hill: Marketing; Tom is a writer, comedian, and marketing man. He is handling our sponsorship campaign and many of the words on the web about the project. He's also a member of Pump Trolley Comedy and Hip.Bang! He's also also really into getting punched out.; Twitter

Stephen Irving: Media; We dragged Stephen into this project when we overheard him utter the phrases "I'm do PR" and "I think a lot of the world's problems could be solved by a group screening of Point Break" in the same breath at a bar. He also does "communication strat" and "proj management" for real companies.; Twitter | www

Craig Anderson: Actor / Script Editor; Craig is part of the comedic duo Bronx Cheer as well as an improviser with The Sunday Service and Ghost Jail Theatre. You might recognise him from Nickelback videos or from acting alongside cheerleaders in Hellcats.; Twitter

Phil Rabin: Front end developer; After a hard day of leading a programming team at a big nerdy company, Phil unwinds by seducing tennis opponents with Phish covers on his guitar. He wrote nearly all the custom javascript for this site and we can't thank him enough.; Twitter | www
