Director Statement

"While we only had 48 hours to write, film, and edit this concept originally, this did not restrain our team at all from creating something that we were all very proud of, and Melonhead has without a doubt become one of my favorite projects I have ever been a part of."
- Robbie Cook

"Melonhead was born out of a desire we all had to make something truly wacky and exciting. I’m so grateful for the entire team’s commitment to such an over the top concept. It became the perfect mix of something fun to create and a product that we all take a lot of pride in."
- Jaiden Douglas
