(Yes, my personal funds)! Check out the Wefunder now (https://wefunder.com/arolucha) or READ ON. It's only been just over a YEAR that we launched our Pencilish Studios investment raise and just over two months since we finished that raise (with over $2M invested and over 4500 investors)- and we have been BUSY! We have two series in formal "Production" (which means episode 1 of both are being animated RIGHT NOW) and the third series being storyboarded and voice-recorded- but in the meantime, we are developing 4 other animated series (with vis dev starting in one week!). ONE of those that is in development that is ready to talk about is -our new partnership with Aro Luche Entertainment for a new animated series that will be for the US and Latin countries! That's right, we are planning on making this series in English and Spanish versions.  Best of all, if you're invested in Pencilish Studios- you are already a co-owner of this new series! I'll get to those details, but first, a preview of the project:Here's the "elevator pitch" for this (still untitled) luche libre animated series: "Only the best young luchadores get into the prestigious training programs that are a fast-pass to superstardom. "Los Toros Locos" is not one of those programs. Founded by an eccentric (and now ancient) wrestler, the few students who attend this stable are cast-offs and never-will-bes… until a famous luchadora vows to take those underdogs under her wing. Why? It’s a mystery, one that the luchadores are going to have to unlock if they will earn her trust, beat their rivals, and keep their masks!"And, to go with the outlines we are writing for the episodes, I started the ball rolling with a character design pass of the main characters (still in development/ not final)- meet Michael Ortega, our main character, his rag-tag group of future luchadores and luchadoras, and their Masters in training: Lastly, we have a POWERHOUSE team to make this animated series! We have three partners: PENCILISH STUDIOS (us!) who will create the designs, voice casting and animation for the series, JASON BROWN, owner of the Aro Luche Entertainment (Movie Producer, Assisted in Producing Over 300 Hours of Network Television in the Professional Wrestling Space.) and STARLIGHT RUNNER (CEO Jeff Gomez and EVP Mark Pensavalle) who are "world builders" that have worked on some of the world's most successful blockbuster entertainment franchises like: Spider-Man, Avatar, Halo, Magic: The Gathering, and the global relaunch of Ultraman. Starlight Runner is writing the series and developing it in conjunction with Pencilish Studios. And here are some bullet points you should know so you can see why I'm personally excited about this project:$1.9 TRILLION BUYING POWER from Hispanic and Latino Buyers in 2020 and growing!!!50% Of The US Population GROWTH has come from the Latino and Hispanic Market. Global Animation is a $259+ BILLION Market Opportunity! Disney Just Released Encanto with an ALL SPANISH Release alongside the English Release.Lastly, I want to make this clear: if you have invested in Pencilish Studios, you are ALREADY a part owner of this Aro Luche animated series! BUT- if you want to "double dip" because you see a huge opportunity for this series and feel an added investment specifically in this series is something you're passionate about then go here to read more about this opportunity and consider investing: https://wefunder.com/arolucha  AND- PLEASE tell your friends- this helps ALL of us! Share it to the mountaintops! Watch this "DRAW AND TALK" interview we did on Friday with myself and Jason Brown on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXVCGWk6VoYViva La Animation Revolution!!-Tom Bancroft, CEO Pencilish Animation Studios(PS.
