BROKEN SAINTS
is as a 'serial online graphic literature event' (read: online comic)
which became an underground hit and a collector's edition DVD released
worldwide by 20th Century Fox. Written and directed by Brooke Burgess,
it tells the dark, unsettling but ultimately compelling story of
four characters 'from the quiet corners of the globe' who are brought
together by apocalyptic visions and a series of events too strange
to be co-incidence, to face a terrifying threat. [launch
