I’m really excited to announce that the Kickstarter for my new animated short, Paradigm Shift: Chinatown, will be launching in two weeks!
Set your calendars for Tuesday, October 15th!
Why do a Kickstarter this time, you ask?
it’s because while the first PS animated short, Restless Sleep, was pretty much a solo affair, Chinatown needs a team!
First and foremost, we’re hiring a full voice cast for the production, and I want to be able to pay them union wages. We’re in the process of casting right now, and I’m really excited about who we’re bringing on board. I can’t name names yet until everything is official, but I think you’ll be just as excited as I am when we announce! More on that later… 😃
Secondly, I’ve brought together a small band of friends from the podcast fiction world, a short film veteran, and three young artists to help me make this film happen. They are:
- Alexander Danner has once again joined up as sound designer after working with me on Restless Sleep and two other projects for Storiaverse,
- James Oliva is our casting director. He’s worked with Alexander for years and will be recording and working with our voice actors.
- Nina Nichols will be my assistant compositor and help out with some of the art production. She worked with me on a serial killer ghost story project called Character Assassin for Storiaverse this past spring.
- Adrianna Palleschi is working with me as production assistant and social media manager—because god knows I need help with handling the socials these days!
- Owen Serre is helping with character rigging and props for the film.
- Danielle Beckman is our associate producer. She’s a short film veteran who’s helping us with the final casting, navigating the hurdles to get us signed up as an official SAG-AFTRA project, and to help to bring the film to festivals and other venues beyond YouTube when the film is complete!
Together we’re Team Paradigm Shift!
