About Me



BUY THE DVD FOR ONLY $5.00 AT

Colin Carter, a high school outcast, decides to break free from his lonely life and become the caped super-hero of his childhood. With a middle-aged crew of comic crooks, Colin foils fake robberies as the fictional hero, Captain Blasto. But what happens when these bogus burglaries become real?


Through its distinctive visual style and comic panel editing, Captain Blasto brings a unique interpretation to the comic book movie genre, and with a fundraised budget of only $7,000, it is also a creative, emotional, and professional example of the "digital-do-it-yourself" movie revolution.
