Toad in the Hole - Animated Short Film

Donation protected



Hi, everybody!

My name is Chris Malone. I’m an independent filmmaker based in Sterling, Virginia. I’ve just come off the success of my award-winning senior film, "Harra and the Donkey," Now, I am
beyond excited to introduce my next film, a 2D animated short film titled "Toad in the Hole."

About "Toad in the Hole":
"Toad in the Hole" is an animated short film about a toad who wants to break free from the literal creature comforts of home and venture into the outside world. Inspired by a poem I wrote a few years ago and the works of Beatrix Potter, this film aims to capture the toad's journey as he discovers the courage to step out of his comfort zone and embrace new experiences. It explores themes of courage, perseverance, and embracing the unknown.

How Your Contribution Will Make a Difference:
Producing an animated film of any length requires a significant amount of funding. That's where your generous contribution comes in. By supporting this campaign, not only will you help make Toad in the Hole the best it can be, but you'll also support independent filmmaking as a whole. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact and brings us closer to our goal.

Here's how the funds will be utilized:
1. Animation: The majority of the funding will go towards the animation process, focusing on storyboards, background art, and character design.

2. Sound Design and Music Composition: Your contributions will help us create a wonderful soundtrack to bring the world of "Toad in the Hole" to life.

3. Voice Acting: With your contribution, we will hire exceptionally talented actors to give the characters from "Toad in the Hole" a voice.

4. Post-Production and Editing: After completing the animation and sound design, we will enter the final post-production phase to ensure "Toad in the Hole" achieves its highest visual quality.

5. Festival Submissions and Marketing: When "Toad in the Hole" hits the festival circuit, your support will cover submission fees and promotional materials, enhancing the film's visibility and helping it reach a broader audience.
