My very first feature film that I completed almost 6 years ago is now available on digital! This, almost 2hr film, took me around 2 yrs to complete & was a huge learning experience in experimenting with this animation pipeline which I use to this day. Out on Prime or AppleTV!

The camera overhead section my fight scene was made after I saw "The Worlds Divide" by @djaxx.bsky.social Its a great shot and fight. And I can't wait for the general public to see it. Feels weird to have used a movie that isnt actually out yet for inspiration. My Animation: youtu.be/PNs3chvtEqo

I just want to say, I’m several episodes into this, and I’m absolutely digging this series. It’s a wonderful retro-future-punk story and world, with outstanding set design and compelling characters, with notes of Studio Ghibli.

With my new feature film, trying to figure out how to do this properly. My last feature was made for about $135 000 but that really only covers post vo, sound, & music (with most still working at super low pay). I wasn’t paid either & had to self fund. Trying to get proper funding now.

I only had enough savings to survive for 2 yrs without an income so it was a crazy mad rush from beginning to end to make this film. No time to second guess or think. Ticket sales end tomorrow but if you buy a ticket, you’ll have it for 5 days then it’s gone!

I am SO glad I watched The First Monolith before watching The Worlds Divide. What an absolutely stellar duology with a mystery that was SO fun to put together piece by piece. You got a couple more days to support @djaxx.bsky.social's Esluna project, so please do yourself a favor and do it!

The Worlds Divide showcase the unlimited potential of true independent animated movies. Despite its micro-budget which explains the slightly lower quality animation, this movie is very immersive and imaginative worth seeing for! #BlazikersAnimationAdventure

Fun Fact: prior to making the film, I was in talks to shop it around. The process to just get a greenlight to development would take yrs. Even then, to get another greenlight for pre then production, it’d be over 10 yrs with no guarantee it would ever get made. So I just made it.

Just watched The Worlds Divide Yeah, is the indie animation film made by ONE person. This movie is better if I don't tell anything. World is beautiful, dialogue a bit iffy. I usually don't like giving scores to things, but this is a very damn solid 8/10. Support and go watch it dudes! #TonyToMedia
