Local entertainment group, Redonkulous Entertainment premiered their first film documentary last month with a showing at Tilton Theatre in Northfield. The well-attended premiere was viewed by Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr. as well as nearly 100 other attendees. The entertainment group, comprised of eight childhood friends, aims to provide unforgettable entertainment at a local and global level.
Their movie premiere, The Road To Reminiscence, highlighted the tumultuous journey of bringing a meaningful event to life when in-person events seemed impossible. The 2020 Redonkulous Reminiscence event, which took place in September 2020, paid tribute to lost loved ones and lives cut too short. Movie attendees left in tears, inspired by the production and compelled to call their loved ones.
The Redonkulous team is preparing this month to kick off a year full of events, comic book releases, and international travel. The Redonkulous Year of 2021: The Musical Remix, 80’s Style is set to premier virtually at the end of this month. RE’s first musical performance will feature 80’s style performances with their redonkulous stories and experiences from boat parties and book signings to travels and radio appearances.
In April, the group will be traveling to Cairo, Egypt to participate in the Bolera Film Festival. Additionally, they will be hosting their annual boat party out of Gardner’s Basin, wrestling themed events, a 5-city tour, a virtual interview series with local entrepreneurs, and so much more.
Growing up with a shared love of comic books, the members of Redonkulous each bring their unique gifts to the table. The team of eight includes writers, editors, concept artists, and a product marketing team. They are affectionately known by their nicknames, each speaking to their roles within the company. Together, they’ve created a comic universe of their own known as M.A.V.E.N. with titles such as Arrowshot, Bloodmoon, and The Knight-Owl.
This year, RE fans can look forward to two new comic book releases from MAVEN (Military Advanced Vigilant Elite Network) including the next release of The Knight-Owl and The Mysterious Black Ninja.
