Biblical truth. Epic worlds. Unforgettable animation.

Our FIRE BREATHERS pilot animatic passed the Angel Studios Guild. Now we’re raising $1 million to produce the finished first episode and take Parable Media into its next chapter.

Our first private seed round raised approximately $150,000 and achieved its development goals. That investment helped establish two original animated properties, complete voiced animatics, and create the materials needed to begin meaningful industry conversations.

Today, both projects are moving through internal consideration at major studios, with executive-producing discussions underway.

6 Reasons to Invest in Parable’s Second Seed Round

1. Our first round delivered tangible results.

Approximately $150,000 in initial funding supported substantial development: an 82-minute voiced animatic for our feature film, SOTERIA, and a complete 20-minute voiced pilot animatic for FIRE BREATHERS, alongside extensive character designs, storyboards, and visual development.

2. FIRE BREATHERS passed the Angel Studios Guild.

Our pilot animatic passed the Guild’s audience-voting process before finished animation was produced. This provides an encouraging audience signal as we move toward professional production.

3. We’re building on growing industry momentum.

Both projects are being brought up internal ladders at major studios, with discussions about executive producing. Conversations with representatives of established talent are also underway, with participation dependent on financing and final agreements.

4. The story extends beyond one episode.

Episodes 2–4 of FIRE BREATHERS are already written and storyboarded. Alongside SOTERIA, the series forms part of our vision for an entertainment company built around original worlds, memorable characters, and opportunities across animation, publishing, collectibles, and games.

5. Our founder brings hands-on production experience.

Tristan Martineau has worked as a lead concept artist on a Lionsgate project, as a 3D character artist for cinematics and video games, and in corporate video production. He brings that experience to Parable’s storytelling, visual development, and production planning.

6. Our outreach is already reaching millions with the Gospel.

Using our pre-production development art, we launched early marketing campaigns to grow an audience and, more importantly, created time-lapse art videos paired with prayer and an invitation to accept Jesus Christ. These videos have presented that opportunity to over 1.5 million people. During our planned 16-month production cycle, our goal is to reach 1 million people per month, presenting the opportunity to accept Jesus to 16 million more people.

What Is FIRE BREATHERS?

FIRE BREATHERS is a Christian sci-fi/fantasy adventure inspired by The Pilgrim’s Progress.

Through an original world of memorable characters, imaginative settings, and high-stakes adventure, the series explores faith, courage, perseverance, and redemption.

Our goal is to create animation that audiences want to watch, share, and return to—while bringing biblical truth into stories that can reach beyond traditional faith-based entertainment.

Watch the Completed Pilot Animatic

The complete 20-minute voiced pilot animatic establishes the story, performances, pacing, and visual direction for Episode 1.

This is the pilot animatic that passed the Angel Studios Guild. The next step is turning that developed foundation into finished animation:

Parable’s project materials have also generated approximately 600,000 social media views, helping introduce our worlds to an early audience.

What Will This Round Fund?

We’re raising $1 million, with the primary goal of professionally producing FIRE BREATHERS Episode 1.

Our current production plan targets approximately 16 months from a funded start, covering production preparation, animation, and finishing.

A completed episode gives us a stronger foundation for audience growth, licensing conversations, distribution opportunities, and financing subsequent episodes.

A Company Built Around Original Stories

FIRE BREATHERS is the immediate production priority within Parable’s broader portfolio.

Our animated feature, SOTERIA, follows David and his mighty men and already has a complete 82-minute voiced animatic.

Together, these properties support our long-term vision: an independent entertainment company creating stories and characters that can grow across multiple formats.

How Does Parable Plan to Make Money?

Our planned business combines licensing to industry partners with products and experiences offered directly to fans:

1. Content licensing: Agreements with studios, distributors, broadcasters, and streaming platforms.
2. Publishing: Graphic novels, books, and art books based on our original properties.
3. Collectibles and merchandise: Figures, sculptures, apparel, and other character-based products.
4. Direct audience offerings: Digital content, memberships, and behind-the-scenes access.
5. Games and interactive experiences: Longer-term opportunities to expand our worlds.

Each opportunity depends on the rights retained, production progress, audience demand, and the agreements we secure.
