A bit of history on the project
Machete Girl began as a cyberpunk magazine publication in 2010. In 2012 we began work on a promotional web series which was to help establish the unique world of Machete girl for the fans. While the magazine continued through to today, the series took a back seat until January 2020. “Machete Girl” is a metaphor for “Hacker Girl” and is the Virtual Reality avatar of Chloe Raynor.

We are looking to partner with companies such as visual effects studios and VOD distribution channels to get our 10 minute pilot made which we will then pitch as a series.
