Todd Graff, director of the indie hit film CAMP, has launched a new website that shares the big news - there will be a sequel titled, CAMP 2: FREAKS OF NATURE!
"In 2003, I was able to bring to life the story of a group of hilarious, talented, needy, at times psychopathic, and occasionally cross-dressing kids attending Camp Ovation. CAMP triumphantly premiered in Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival, played all over the world, and thanks to many of you reading this, became a cult classic. I had so much fun making CAMP - filming on location at Stagedoor Manor in New York, casting Stephen Sondheim for his only movie appearance in history, and of course, introducing Anna Kendrick in her very first film, as a murderous understudy who poisons the star and belts out 'The Ladies Who Lunch'.
"We need a sequel! And I've already written it. Don't worry, the original stars are not playing counselors or some other lame device. Instead, we're going meta! Plus we're going to introduce some fabulous new additions, like Donna Murphy, Patti LuPone and a bevy of other reigning Broadway divas performing a demented version of 'Steppin' To The Bad Side' from 'Dreamgirls,' to be staged by the one and only Jerry Mitchell."
"I can't wait to share what I have planned, but I need your help to make this dream a reality. So we're going straight to YOU to fund this film."
The original film followed a group of misfits who find themselves while attending a musical theater summer camp.
