Hello sunny Patrons!

We hope the Summer months have been treating you well! We've been putting a lot of noses to a lot of grindstones this week, so please enjoy:

-Kind World: Several more minutes of animation to share! We're flying through shots with a fun 'pretend we're a broke studio in the 80's working on a micro budget for a tight deadline' approach, where the 80's is the only part we have to pretend for. We're approaching the halfway mark on the pilot, and are hoping to have the full thing release-able within a matter of weeks. While the sneak peek footage has limited sound effects and music, your support has enabled us to hire a musician for the pilot. You'll hear the results of your generosity soon, and you've already heard the musician's work on the Crowing game we made October of last year!

-Movie: We've finally settled on something fun, character driven, and achievable with our limitations. Our short, Whiskered, from Februaury will be expanded on into a feature film. We have a lot of plans for this, and can already share some early concept promo art. We're hoping to have a first-draft script by July sometime. After several concepts and several test shots and several paths followed and abandoned, we feel very good about this for our first feature.

That's been the week! We're putting a lot of hours into Kind World, we plan two mini-series for the end of the year, a few festivals, some one-offs if we have time.. it's incredible how far we've been able to come and we're completely honored to share it with you all, to whom can credit much of the quality that's leant us our success.

Thanks again and as always, we'll see you next time!

With more footage!!
