Garbage Pail Kids artist Joe Simko needs your help! As producer of the documentary 30 Years of Garbage, he is asking fans to pledge towards the project in hopes of getting it on theater screens by 2015. We have the first trailer for 30 Years of Garbage, which looks at the creation and history behind this iconic Topps Cards institution. Watch, and then read on for how you can become part of Garbage Pail Kids history.
The Garbage Pail Kids are 30 years old! Celebrate their gross-out greatness with artist interviews, superfan collections, and more!
30 Years of Garbage has already secured interview commitments from original Garbage Pail Kids creators including: Art Spiegelman, Len Brown, Mark Newgarden, John Pound, Tom Bunk, Jay Lynch and others. Also on board as a co-producer is Adam F. Goldberg, creator of the ABC primetime TV show, The Goldbergs.
Although this is great news, Joe Simko and his filmmaking team still need backers for this awesome project. This is not a Topps-funded documentary, so the artists, are going straight to the people to try and get funding. You can help by contributing to their Kickstarter campaign: clickHere
30 Years of Garbage is seeking a pledge goal of $ 75,000, and with 140 and 30 days to go, they have already gotten up to $ 11,496. The deadline to contribute is Sunday, January 5 at 11:59pm EST. Each tier that you contribute to will award you a different prize pack. To see what some of the coolest are eligible to receive for their donation: clickHere
This documentary's goal is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Topps' Garbage Pail Kids Cards. We will interview the original creators of the surprisingly controversial and explosively popular 80's card series. Grown-up kids will share nostalgic memories of what it was like to be a part of an international phenomena. Superfans will give us a peek at what a 30-year amassment of Garbage Pail Kids memorabilia looks like. We will proclaim Garbage Pail Kids as an art form and a solid mark of the 20th Century! See how these happily-diseased kids are still influencing pop culture today.
30 Years of Garbage comes to theaters in 2014.
