It's another #IndieAnimationDay, and we're here with an updated WIP Reel! One clip from every scene in "Sirenetta: Part-Time Mermaid" currently in production, from rough storyboards to early composites! We're getting close to a huge milestone - we only have four scenes left to start work on!

Our movie's Kickstarter successfully ended in September, but you still have some time to pledge your support and receive exclusive merch that won't be available afterwards! Late Pledges close this Friday, so dive in while you can!

If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights.

Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it.

Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS
Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale
The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

The last month has been one of the weirdest ones for me this year. The incredible joy of funding our Kickstarter was immediately coupled with exhaustion, finally realizing just how busy that campaign kept me. I thought I could hit the ground running, and I got so angry with myself when I couldn't.

do you ever watch the feet of animated characters to see how well they’re tracking with the scrolling background and realize that maybe you’ve been overthinking things on your own project?

It’s been two days, and I’m still at a loss for words. I spent the last six months stressing over where I’d find the money to keep paying our team of artists, and I don’t know if its fully hit me yet that I can let that stress go.
Photo of the corner of a room, with a large pink/purple/teal mural of the Sirenetta character on the right, and a 90s style wave pattern on the left. There are two shelves on the left wall with dolls of Jem, Mew Lettuce, Sailor Mercury, Ariel, Ariel’s friend Kayla, Sirenetta, and Harmonix Bloom. Beneath the shelves are a plush doll of Sirenetta and a metal print of a Sirenetta action figure illustration. Above the shelves is a piece of detailed Sirenetta fanart.
