Actress Liza Soberano has shown her support for Rocketsheep Studio’s upcoming film about the Filipino superhero Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
On her Instagram stories, Soberano shared the trailer for the film, which is based on the comic book character created by Filipino illustrator Carlo Vergara.
“The creatives of @rocketsheepstudio are making an amazing animated film about the fabulous Zsazsa Zaturnnah, the first Asian superhero representing the LGBTQIA+ community. They need your help to get it made!” she wrote.
She also shared fan art from the studio featuring popular social media personality Bretman Rock with the superhero.
Zsazsa Zaturnnah, a red-haired superhero whose alter-ego is a gay beautician, first appeared in Vergara’s graphic novel Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah, which was self-published in 2002. It was later adapted into a stage musical and a film starring Zsa Zsa Padilla and BB Gandanghari.
Rocketsheep Studio, known for producing Saving Sally and Hayop Ka!: The Nimfa Dimaano Story, launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for the Zsazsa Zaturnnah animated film on July 7. Donations can be made at bit.ly/zaturnnah until Sept. 5.
