A sold-out movie premiere by Dead Prairies Productions has resulted in a significant donation for the Swift Current SPCA. The local filmmaking group raised $4,000 for the animal shelter during the premiere of The Killer Balloon 2: 'Til Death Do Us Part, according to Dead Prairies Productions founder Devon Oman. The SPCA also held a 50-50 draw during the event, bringing in an additional $420. “So they made over $4,000 that night from the premiere,” Oman said. “So that's huge. Like that's impressive.” Long-running partnership with SPCA Dead Prairies Productions has been creating films since 2012, when the group released its first feature, Zombageddon One. Since then, Oman said fundraising has remained a core part of the organization's activities, with proceeds from premieres, escape rooms, merchandise sales and other events regularly directed toward the SPCA. “We've been donating the proceeds from the events, whether that be escape rooms or premieres or whatever horror-themed events I come up with in my head,” Oman said. He added that when the group takes its films to other communities, ticket proceeds are often donated to local animal rescue organizations, while merchandise sales continue to support the Swift Current shelter.
