After a year of working with @andreaspetersen.bsky.social on this gorgeous new story, I can confidently say it’ll be our greatest collaboration yet if we can get it made.
I’m so ready! Andreas knocked it out of the park here. Kids in the future will wear Written by Andreas Petersen shirts.

This thought has been renewed this morning as we got this lovely review that compares the film to games, which is interestingly enough a very common thing to occur across all of my films.
Anyways, I spent my morning walk daydreaming again about game development.

I often daydream about what a When You Get To The Forest video game would be like. I like the idea of a game separated into seasons as you slowly learn new skills, gather, plant, expand your map, and experience many adventures.
What type of game is that? Not quite sim as it's a progressive story...

Get swept away by our hand made, human made stop motion feature, When You Get To The Forest!
It’s on a gorgeous Blu with tons of extras courtesy of Cartuna.
In my humble opinion, this is THE best way to enjoy our weird, introspective, and emotional film.
Thanks for supporting indie animation! ❤️

I'm still so honored to have been a part of the Taichung Animation Festival this year where I not only shared Papercuts twice, but also got to participate in a Stop Motion Master's Talk alongside two legendary producers of animation!
Sometimes, this crazy filmmaking journey kinda rocks!

The weather around here has finally started to feel like Autumn. That means it is indeed the perfect time to snuggle up to my paper stop motion Ghoul Log! It's filled with fun little animated surprises like this one. I kinda love it. 🎃 Someone tell Shudder to let me do their official one next year.

I walked nearly 9 miles around Taichung today checking out gardens, a science museum, and a lively night market. Now Godzilla and I are gonna chill!

I’ve only been in Taiwan one day and I already have seen many wonders! There’s a great enthusiasm for animation here. I had a lovely first screening and an excellent Q & A session after with true stop motion lovers. Had to grab some creepy budget masks for the kids too!

If you happen to be sailing through the crazy blue yonder on an Emirates flight, you can now enjoy the peaceful calm of our film; When You Get To The Forest. 🌲🐈⬛
Let it whisk you away from the horrors of being in a tin can hurtling forth at frightening speeds!
K Bye.

I will be heading to Taiwan next week to show my animated documentary Papercuts and participate in a Master's Talk (which is wild!)
Over there my film title translates to: Paper Dream Wonderland - The Adventure of an Independent Animator and I kinda like that title more!

I made my very first zine! It’s a collection of creepy Samhain folktales featuring silhouette illustrations I’ve been making.
My plan is to ship them out as fun extras in art pieces I sell this month and next.
I’ll be releasing new linocut prints, light box pieces, and larger cut paper work soon!

A while back Andreas, his partner, and I teamed up to pitch a short film called The Maiden and the Liar.
While we didn't end up getting funding, I felt it would be fun to do a little concept art for it.
It's also in line with a folk horror anthology feature I've been kickin' around in my 💀

I’ve been working on some new silhouette light box art and am mesmerized by watching them change as the lighting turns. It’s the small things in life that keep me sane. 💀

A potential client just sent me AI generated mock ups of what the characters in their mean spirited campaign could look like. 🫠
Now would be a great time for a producer who believes in human made blood sweat and tears animation to come into my life.
I’ve got some sweet pitches too!

Still experimenting with this little guy for a possible super peaceful film pitch. Tomorrow is back to the very not peaceful horror pitch.
It’s so crazy having multiple films I want to make but it’s also so very challenging financing any of em. 😅
Anyways, this dude is cool, could be something. 🐸🤷♂️
