Here’s some information about the film:

Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan (April 14, 2024) – A seven-year passion project has finally been completed. Our goofy parody comedy “Killer Kabbage” had its final render and has been submitted to several film festivals to begin its journey through the circuit. What began as a short film back in 2011 has had a rebirth into a feature-length film running a whopping 94 minutes! This was a collaboration of creative minds with a dedication to deliver an entertaining and funny adventure for the audience to experience.

With Hollywood rehashing and rebooting, it’s very rare when something original seeps through the cracks of the corporate industry. Although, wouldn’t this be considered a reboot of the existing short film from 13 years ago even though nobody watched it? Oh crap, we’ve already been sucked into the Hollywood reboot whirlpool!

Voyag3r completed a badass score that helped drive this picture from the dreaded post-production phase right into completion. I’ve always told my peers, music can either make or break a movie. And it’s their excellent music that definitely helps make this movie.

Animastor Studios, location in India, used their wonderful CGI talents to help bring this film from a micro-budget YouTube video to a passable Tubi movie experience. They took my very detailed ideas and brought them to life.

Finally, I couldn’t have done this without the cast and crew. They put just as much passion and energy into this film as I have with my countless late night hours in front of the computer editing. You guys rock.

There is no official release date yet, as the film festival circuit may or may not find us a distributor. After it’s run, I will have a pretty good idea on release. I will also be announcing dates and locations when festivals select the film to be shown at their venue.

Thank you all again. 2024 will see the rise of the Killer Kabbage.

-Michael A. Dotson

Swamp Music Players TIKI MOTEL 2 🍹🗿

RECENT PRESS

The track, Ice Machine recently received an excellent write up via Death Or Desire.

Introducing Swamp Music Players with “Ice Machine”. With its moody, sad ambiance, the song joins the ranks of similar artists like Chromatics, Kandle, Electric Youth, and College.

What sets “Ice Machine” apart is its unique blend of synthwave and jazz we think personally, highlighted by a subtle soft snare percussion. Written by Hollywood’s Sugar Parks, the track spins a haunting tale set at the infamous Tiki Motel in California—most notably known as the seedy location in the 1980s film ‘The Terminator.’ The narrative is a pretty gripping one too, following a woman who takes the life of her spouse’s lover. As she grapples with her actions and thoughts, she becomes increasingly aware that the police are closing in on her. The music captures this tension and internal turmoil masterfully, turning “Ice Machine” into a mini-noir film for the ears. This emotionally charged single paired with the compelling musical backdrop makes “Ice Machine” more than just a track, but an experience.

ABOUT THE RISE OF THE SYNTHS
The film is a travel in time towards the roots of a worldwide grass-root music scene known as Synthwave, an irresistible blend of modern electronic composition with 80s pop culture’s nostalgia, that over the last two years has transformed from a whisper on selected internet hubs, to an ever-growing scene, expanding rapidly as we speak. Accounting millions of plays on social media, devoted fans are legion, but nobody in the mass media knows about them.

Thousands of synthwave composers around the world are living out double-lives. Away from their normal everyday life they spend another half-life behind a faceless musical avatar, creating and uploading their own renditions of 80’s-styled film scores, sharing them with the world – surging the wave. They belong to an endless army of watchers for the master’s legacy: the sound that Edgar Froese, Paul Haslinger, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter created in the late 70s.

A time travel into the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of a universe that never existed.
