The Topp Twins are flushing out public cash for a new feature film entitled The Long Drop, which will look at the state of New Zealand's water.
The iconic entertainers have raised more than $15,000 for their new project through crowdfunding on the website Boosted.
They have ninedays left from today to reach their initial target of $25,000 for writing and workshopping the script.
The film will feature an array of their loved characters.
Writer and director Felicity Morgan-Rhind says it will be set in the not-too-distant future in a High Country town, when the whole world is in a water crisis.
"The bowling green's gone brown. The pub's run out of beer. Camp Mother's hydrangeas are dying. And Kenny Boy Moller's had to put his sheep farm on the market," she explained in a promotional video for the flick.
"It's going to make you laugh. It might make you cry - and it will definitely make you think," she added.
The twins' long-time producer Arani Cuthbert it would be a great New Zealand film, "which will celebrate who we are, make us laugh and help save our water".
