Producer of Children's Animation films. Working on one now!

Hello Everyone! So nice to meet everyone here.

We are actually working on our third film and have five former NFL players contributing to voiceover roles as well as seasoned professional voiceover talent from Disney, Nickelodeon, Dreamworks Animation and more.

The film is Junga the Dancing Yeti in Yeti, Set, Go! Check out the full cast on IMDb.

Our Kickstarter ends tomorrow at 9am (pacific) and we will create an opportunity to include you or someone you know to join the cast with two lines for voiceover. You will get IMDb credit plus $100 for the role.

All of this is for an anti-bullying project we are developing for school curriculum. We are a new 501(c)3 and we could use your help to get this project funded.

I will post the link on my wall, but for now, I want to say hello to everyone and hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Hi Stephen - what a fun and meaningful film you've got! When you get a chance, check out our Animation Lounge >> https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation - I think you'll be able to answer a lot of questions for members who are working on their first animated film.

Good luck with your kick starter!

Hi Folks! Thank you so much. I'm doing really well. Grateful that my Kickstarter funded. Those are always very time-consuming, but it is a grass-roots type of fundraiser that involves a lot of people. We had almost 100 backers!

I was bullied a lot as a child/teen and it left a pretty bad scar. But I survived! I played a yeti in a film in 2011 and danced in the ending credits. From there, I wrote a story about this dancing yeti who was always being discriminated against because people thought he was bad, but he was kind and loved to dance. The stories are all based on this character when he was a child and being bullied.

Things evolved and now was have three books and soon to have three films! Plus we have a non-profit now www.motivatedtoact.org

Thanks for asking!

You're welcome, Stephen Tako. I remember you dancing in your older videos. :)
