All Premiere's Eve

It's Halloween 2025, and you know what that means! That's right, it's almost time for the CRADLE ANIMATIC PREMIERE!

Tomorrow we get to premiere the Cradle Animatic, the two-hour black-and-white sketched version of a Cradle movie! It covers Unsouled and Soulsmith, with an original score and a STACKED voice cast...all thanks to the backers on our Kickstarter almost two years ago!

I watched through the movie at the final audio mixing just a couple of days ago, and it's crazy to see this product after so long working to make it happen. Truly humbling. Not to mention a bizarre, out-of-body experience for me to see characters and moments I made up years ago coming to life thanks to the work of so many talented Hollywood professionals.

And the part I've been looking forward to the most is the Premiere tomorrow, where the highest-level backers (who could make it out to LA) are going to join us for the first-ever showing!

I'm starting to itch because I haven't made a joke in three paragraphs, but I'm genuinely just grateful and flabbergasted to be here. Let's hope this leads to a fully animated project soon!

As for the vast majority of you who can't make it to the event out in LA, don't worry! The animatic will be sent to you in its entirety as soon as we can get it re-edited for digital distribution, as opposed to the theatrical form it's in now. That should be by the end of November. Or so I'm told.

Video editing is like magic to me, so I'm just trusting the word of the wizards who understand such arcane systems.

Thanks for your support, everybody! You've been awesome, and I can't wait to see what else is on the way!
