<div>I’m Steven Morden, an independent author who has written and published the fantasy novelette <strong>No Going Back</strong>. Now I want to take the next step and bring its characters, creatures, and world to life as an animated film. With today’s AI animation technology, independent creators have opportunities that once required entire production studios. I want to produce this film myself, but my current computer lacks the processing power needed to do the work. I’m raising an estimated $2,500 to build a powerful workstation capable of running AI animation software locally so I can develop characters, create environments, animate scenes, and work toward producing the film adaptation of <strong>No Going Back</strong> independently.

<div> The funds will go toward the seven essential components needed for the computer build:
</div>
<ul>
<li>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card
</li>
<li>High-performance processor (CPU)
</li>
<li>Compatible motherboard
</li>
<li>High-capacity system memory (RAM)
</li>
<li>Solid-state storage (SSD)
</li>
<li>Power supply
</li>
<li>Computer case
</li>
</ul>
<div>The $2,500 goal is an estimate based on current hardware prices, including applicable sales tax and fundraising transaction fees. The actual cost depends on hardware market fluctuations at the time of purchase. This computer will be the foundation of the project, giving me the ability to create the animation myself rather than taking on the enormous expense of a traditional animation studio.
