POWERS-WHO KILLED RETRO GIRL?
A FILM BY MARK TOWNEND
STATUS-COMPLETE

POWERS:WHO KILLED RETRO GIRL?- For the longest time I've felt that Brian Michael Bendis,
and Michael Avon Oeming's brilliant comic book series, POWERS would be the perfect subject for a Fan Film. It's
been a long time coming, but someone has finally answered My prayers and made one! Thanks to Director Mark Townend,
two of Comicdom's toughest Detectives working the Superhero beat, Deena Pilgrim, and Christian Walker, are given the
Live Action treatment. One of the cities most famed Superheroes, Retro Girl, has been found brutally murdered and Detectives
Walker and Pilgrim are given the case. Not long into their investigation a suspect is caught near the crime scene, and brought
back to Headquarters for questioning. Their suspect, a weasely and seemingly harmless man by all appearances. A man would
appear to be incapable of taking out one of the cities best Superheroes, But looks can proove most deceiving. As the questions
become more and more personal, the subject becomes visibly aggitated and the true face of the twisted killer is
revealed. This film was short, but it was certainly very enjoyable and, in MY opinion, did a great job of capturing the
feel of the POWERS series. Both Ferny Zyserman (who plays Detective Walker), and Leesa Beck (who plays Detective Pilgrim)
portrayed their comic book counterparts most convincingly. From Walker's straight laced, by the books demeanor to Pilgrim's
wise cracking, loose cannon attitude, nothing was overlooked. The scene in which Walker and Pilgrim question the suspect
was particularly well done, the green lighting in the interrogation room gave it an extra 'comic book like' feel,
and made the suspect appear even more creepy and menacing. So to sum it up, Everyone should check this film out, especially
those of Us who are POWERS fanatics. I hope that Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming enjoyed this film, because I
think all involved in this project certainly did the book Justice. Thanks Mr. Townend for granting My wish, and bringing one
of My favorite Comics to life! To see this film please visit Mr.Townends official website for the film HERE or You can also check it out at Brian Michael Bendis's website HERE.
