KICKSTART 3D ANIMATION INTO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

HELP support our Young Ambassador's age 7 - 18 years old to bring their vision of bringing their 3D animation KALARIA: THE IRIE ISLAND to life!

OUR MISSION: To provide spaces for creative expression, narrating lived experiences of those from underrepresented and marginalised groups, particularly young people from Black and Minority Ethnic communities, with the broader intention of leaving an imprint of legacies within UK literature and animation.

WHAT THE MONEY WILL BE SPENT ON:

Did you know that 3D animation can cost $10,000 per minute to make?

OUR WORK: You are super amazing for stopping by and supporting our first British Caribbean Superhero animation. Yayyyy! The Look Like Me Book Challenge C.I.C. works with young budding authors aged 7 - 18 years old to create legacy books for diverse stories in literature. Our Young Ambassadors have requested that they want their number one book 'The Popcorn House' be adapted for television to help perpetuate positive images of Black and Brown characters on the mainstream screen. Have a heart, give generously today, and support their dreams. #changingthenarrative
