Andrew, That's fantastic!!! Congrats! Best, Jen www.voiceforallreasons.com
Nate: Beyond keeping up the hunt for a producer, agent, or manager who wants to get behind the project, I am looking into possibilities for creating an animatic as a calling card and tool to use in pitches. I am a story guy, not a visual artist, but if my one responsibility in life were to get this movie made, I would spend half my time learning how to be one.
Thanks for the congrats, everybody! Hope to earn more, with this and other stories!
Andrew: Congratulations to you also for your recent success!!!!

Hi Andrew, good luck with it and animation is not easy. I have just had one done for U Tube to tell about my children's fantasy series and I know how hard it is. So you must have been really good. Mary Filmer Children's Author

Hi Andrew, Can you tell me a little about the Animation Awards? When are they and how much to enter? How long do they have to be? Any information would be great. Mary Filmer Children's Author http://maryfilmer.com/ U Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgz_ZvccD7c
Mary: It really depends on which animation awards you're talking about. A lot of screenwriting competitions have family and animation categories (you can search MovieBytes and Withoutabox), and as far as finished animations go, there are the Annie Awards (info at http://www.asifa-hollywood.org/). What are you interested in doing?
Hi Andrew, I was just wondering as I do love animation and would love to see my new fantasy series of books in animation. Just a dream at the moment but who knows what will happen around the corner. I was wondering how you would go about selling a animation story if you did one. I really am interested in this form of art. Mary Filmer Children's Author. http://maryfilmer.com/
If you find out how to sell an animation story, Mary, let me know! There are many avenues and I have tried many. I am starting from a screenplay perspective as that is the main skill I have developed. Your route may be the online pitch or crowdfunding. You might get together a team to make webisodes--I'm currently going the do-it-myself route with the help of like-minded animation fans and students, though they came from far-afield. Everybody wants that pitch meeting with the big studio...
Hi Andrew, I will if I ever find one. But thank you for the advise. Mary Filmer Children's Author http://maryfilmer.com/
