Director Statement

The concept behind Jank-E began as a simple story about a junker trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. However, as we developed the character of Jank-E, we realized that she was a person that wanted much more than to just survive - she wants to be happy.

With the new found character motivation, we created the story world in which Jank-E lives in, working hard to earn what she wants most.

Inspired by (very, very loose) true events, we hope you enjoy Jank-E's story.

She may live in a post-apocalypse, but hopefully her wasteland can provide you even a brief escape from your own.
