”The True Heroines” follows the escapades of three 1950s housewives who share a dangerous secret: they have superpowers. As products of a series of secret genetic experiments, these high heeled “Humans with Special Abilities” now make their perfect homes in New Paradise Hill, leading double lives to elude the mysterious corporation that hunts them. In an adventure that marries “Mad Men” and X-Men on the classic MGM lot, “The True Heroines” fight crime by day and have dinner on the table by six.

”The True Heroines” was self produced and made thanks to a successful crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo, and local sponsorships for equipment and locations.
