So think of it more as a video calling card, something we can use to introduce the project to investors and potential collaborators. So we’ve exercised our creativity to show you a bit of our underlying concept, together with the art and music we have been able to create thanks to the amazing support we’ve already received. But until we get the financing to shoot the film, we can’t put together scenes that don’t yet exist. We haven’t made it yet-and when we do we still intend to make a live-action, feature film with real actors, not an animation. What it’s not: It’s not a trailer for the movie, in the sense that a trailer is a selection of scenes to build interest for a movie that’s already been made.

(There’s a close-captioned version on the website for the hearing-impaired.) Pictures speak louder than words-so here it is: Making a movie is a long, long process! Often people who have followed our earlier successful Kickstarter campaign or who know we’ve been working on this project for a long time ask me, “When is it coming out?” Well, we’re still a long way from that happy day-we’re in the slow, difficult process of development, which means creating concepts, getting the screenplay just right, and mostly, getting the investment and the financing! But along the way, we’ve created a new video, to quickly explain the story to those who haven’t read the book, and to show off some of the art and music we’ve had created.
