A cartoon pilot I created for Frederator Studios/Sony Pictures Animation/Cartoon Hangover. I directed, wrote, & storyboarded the short. Larry Leichliter was the animation timer, Kai Lynn Jiang was the background designer, Mira Crowell was the colorist, and Jojo Bapista did prop designs and cleanup. Animation was put together at Digital Emation Inc. in South Korea. Lucas Nathan (AKA Jerry Paper) did the music. Full credits here.
Wrote and pitched the cartoon in May 2015, greenlit in August 2015, started production in September of 2015, right when I started school at CalArts. Directed the cartoon while also in school, working on my own student films and completing coursework. Finished in August of 2017, Released on December 19th 2017.
