Sharkasaurus
Description
Faith and facts collide on a Creationist-themed golf course when the daughter of a widowed Creationist falls for the adopted son of a gay paleontologist. Unbeknownst to the lovers, a prehistoric dino-shark has emerged from hibernation leaving a trail of death and destruction. Will the creationist and paleontologist settle their ideological differences or will Sharkasaurus devour them all?
The theme of Sharkasaurus is evolution. All central characters go through a transformation or metamorphosis. When faced with the might and awesome power of Sharkasaurus, stubborn characters are forced to work together, adapt and become the best versions of themselves before they are killed in a terrifyingly hideous way.

Person
Spencer Estabrooks is an Alberta writer and film director. With a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies at the University of Alberta and a diploma in film production at the Victoria Motion Picture School, Estabrooks focuses on telling Alberta genre stories. From cowboy zombies (Deadwalkers) to Rocky Mountain monsters (The Hunt) his film projects have won numerous awards including Rue Morgue Magazines Best Short of 2013 and Gencon's best Feature Film 2016 (Legend of the Lich Lord). Finding the fantastical in Alberta's rich heritage is one of Estabrooks greatest inspirations for storytelling. His current project and first graphic novel, Sharkasaurus, explores the strange dichotomy of Drumheller and imagines a terrifying monster that emerges from it. The tale began as short film but has been adapted into a graphic novel where the magnitude of this monster can be fully explored.
After spending three years working exclusively for Dynamite on a variety of titles including Green Hornet, Dejah of Mars, and Army of Darkness / Vampirella, Jethro Morales has recently been focusing his talents on a few larger creator-owned graphic novel projects, the most ambitious of which is SHARKASAURUS.
