Angel Hare is Over! What's coming up next?

Hello patrons new and old,

Thank you so much to everyone who joined to support us through the finale of Angel Hare season 3! We're so thankful, and can't wait to pass the love along to all of our voice actors, musicians, and production team in the future.

This year alone you've helped us collaborate with amazing creators and increase the compensation we can give to our talented cast. That's all we've ever wanted: the ability to value all the art and skill that makes our content ...

Halfway There! 9.18.24 update

Hello Mid-Season Patrons!

We've been hard at it, and have a lot of goodies to share as the halfway point of Angel Hare's third season comes and goes. This will be one big Angel Hare update, with news on other projects paused till after the season's done so they don't get drowned out by Bunny (ROT's return, for instance!).

- Theme song: Did you like the moody trailer version of the angel hare theme song? Did you know it started out with a male vocalist, as it was made by the same t...

The Whiskered Post! 5.28.24

The Kickstarter Vlog!

Hello theater going patrons!

We have a special video just for you: a vlog we cut together of our experience launching, quickly being overwhelmed by, and concluding the Angel Hare Plushie Kickstarter!

ROT Behind the Scenes!

Hello, judicial Patrons!

Now that our first test run of ROT is complete, we can start learning from it to adjust some things for our next case! It's already written/planned, but we're going to take a couple weeks off for Whiskered's storyboards, which you'll get to see soon, and some other time-sensitive things. The ROT pace of weekly reactive episodes is very fun, but pretty rigorous, so there will likely be breaks between any given case. That being said, here's a couple fun results fr...

ROT is here, Whiskered is near! 3.29.24

Hello, divisive Patrons!

This last couple of weeks came with some unexpected family-related travel, so we weren't able to give as much warning as we hoped but please enjoy the kick-off video of ROT today! We're extremely excited to present a more interactive series that'll let us engage in similar ways to the Angel Hare letters videos.

You'll get sneak peeks of the next episode, supporter-exclusive polls, the works! We're very pleased to finally bring this concept to you. That'll...

More ROT previews! 3.15.2024

Hello, space-dwelling patrons!

We've been hard at work receiving Kickstarter items and running logistics, but thank goodness we've had some time to animate again as well. Let's tell you all about it!

- ROT: Please enjoy the above preview of our in-progress 3D environment! We're very excited to collaborate with an artist and friend on this, and think it really helps set this series' mood. It's definitely not Angel Hare but we anticipate it'll be a lot of fun! The first two episodes...

Animation previews, Kickstarter sneak peek, and Timeline! 1.12.24

Hello, New Year Patrons!

It's been a while! Unfortunately, this is because our whole team (both of us) has been pretty sick since the holidays, so work has slowed to a crawl. But we still got a LOT of planning and a bit of work done while we were under the weather. So let's get right into it!

- Future Robot Rockstar Pirates: Is going to be full swing a few months from now, but got some early love with some test animation! The attached video shows the storyboards and the near final...

A sneak peak into the wild world of pitching! 12.28.23

Hello Sharks - I mean, Patrons,

We're in the thick of a few things, and can't wait to share them all with you!

- Angel Hare: Taking our flagship show to Stareable Fest wasn't just for the Best in Horror award. We were also granted access to their marketplace of valuable industry connections with which to pitch the show! To give you a look inside the process, we've attached the pitch deck we threw together for their first impressions. It's very hard using language that sells oursel...

Preview and well wishes! 12.12.23

Shorts and Starters! 11.27.23

Hello chilly Patrons!

If you saw our recent video casting a short called Far Harvest and were wondering 'why didn't we know about this first??', the answer is.. we didn't know either! December was looking pretty wide open with just the Snowy Graves music video, so we wanted to see if we could get something cozy done in just a couple of weeks! We do have a peace offering for the lack of warning, though, so do read on~

- Far Harvest: is a one-off short about a scarecrow, ...

Designs and Schedules! 11.17.23

Hello, patient Patrons!

We've been very busy for the start of this month with film festivals, and the festival cut of Angel Hare's first season took home Best Found Footage Shorts from Provo, Utah's Cthulu-themed FilmQuest and Best in Horror from the industry-connected Stareable Fest in NYC! It was awesome, we met up with some local fans and plenty of fellow creatives, but even better than that - we're home now!! Which means we can get right onto the next projects! In order of when you ...
