The Turners are taking their lives back, but in order to do it they have to revisit the one they left behind.

Your continued support helps us build out this story in an amazing and impactful way!

The Turners brings a gritty view into the lives of two retired outlaws, Joe and Alberta Turner. In the sunset of their lives, they must saddle up one last time when their past catches up with their present. This journey takes the Turners down a path of repair and rekindling a love lost in a life they left behind 30 years ago.

MEET THE TURNERS

Alberta – 72 years old. Calm, collected, and methodical. Mess with her family, and you see another side. She cares deeply about her community and being on the right side of history, which has led her down the path of being an outlaw- righting the wrongs that came our way first.

Joe – 75 years old. A hothead, overconfident, and overzealous. He’s acts first, thinks later, but gets the job done, although often messy, which is why he needs the balance of Alberta. He has a soft spot for his family, and has made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure their safety.

The world of The Turners also features a cast of anthropomorphic characters bringing a hint of fantasy to the gritty landscapes explored.

The immediate goal is producing our 15-20 minute animated short film, and taking it through the festival circuit. The eventual goal is to make the full length animated feature that THE TURNERS short film is based on, independently!
