More importantly…90+ backers!

 You are part of the journey and together we'll explore new frontiers in storytelling and crowdfunded media.  

Jordan Stratford, a Kickstart success story had this to say. "people in the future will go hunting, rather than waiting for something to find them. The days of authors collecting "100 rejection letters" is over.” 

I sheepishly enjoy a zombie movie and will cringingly watch Spongebob with my niece but I had a hunch that their are plenty of people looking for stories with some soul.

Platforms like Kickstarter are making original stories like Flewn possible!  We may be embarking on something big. I have some big things in the works and I am talking with ambitious and talented folks to help me get there.

 6 new character are in the pipeline! With the help of backers at the $500+ level we will be working together to create 6 new characters to populate Flewn.  There will be certain guidelines so characters fit within the physics and story of the world.  I have my work cut out for me and I love a good challenge.

Thanks to Paul Babb and Maxon I will be speaking at SIGGRAPH in LA come August!

The more resources we raise the bigger, longer and better the story gets.  A few ideas for overfunding: Compose a live quartet in a pro sound studio, A hardcover printed book with the help of a print artist, support for PC. 

Lets keep the momentum up. Its time to seek out new blogs, press and communities who might appreciate an old bearded whale walking on stilts. Let me know your ideas.

I will have more time this weekend to answer every question and inquiry and looking forward to meeting new folks.

Big Love,
Gabriel

      Gabriel, I never knew how much I wanted a Unicycopter so bad. That is a stroke of sheer genius. Good Luck.
