There’s only one week left until the new episodes of Wastelander Panda are launched!

We’re holding two launch screenings at the Piccadilly Cinema in North Adelaide with all the cast and crew from the new episodes, as well as our crowdfunding supporters and other lucky ticket holders. We can’t wait to catch up with the cast and meet all of the fans who helped make Wastelander Panda a reality.

If you’re in Adelaide and want to attend a screening, there are still a few tickets available.  Please RSVP at http://wastelanderpandalaunch.eventbrite.com to have your name put on the door list.

While we wish everyone could join us at the screenings, we know its a long way to travel for some fans, so we’re also launching the new episodes online for free that day at http://www.wastelanderpanda.com so that everyone can watch around the world.  You’ll be able to watch all three episodes there, as well as explore our interactive map of the Wasteland and learn more about the characters, locations and tribes that we hope to feature in future episodes.

The episodes are:

• Isaac & Rose (13 mins) – Alone in the Wasteland, seven-year-old Rose meets a rogue panda named Isaac.
• Arcayus & Rose (15 mins) - After Isaac’s murder, Rose tracks down Arcayus and begs him to help her seek revenge.
• Arcayus & Akira (8 mins) - Caught and sold to the Winchester Vault Pit, Arcayus is forced to fight alongside Akira for the entertainment of others.

Will you be holding a launch party of your own outside of Adelaide? Don’t forget to send us pics if you do!
