Deep in the African Bush, a crazed scientist has stolen the body of a super human android from a top secret military research base with the not-exactly-original plan of world domination. But finding the body he has stolen has no head he grabs the nearest thing he can find, a cow's head, from a butcher's fridge and puts the two together - MAD COW is born!
South African producer/director Michael J. Rix and UK writer/director Michael Wright both started their career in commercials. MAD COW was ‘born’ at Cannes 2009. Rix and Roght struck the deal with producers to make the one of a kind horror/comedy and bring it back to Cannes 2010 under the banner Funny How Films, which they did.
