Wow again!!!
As of this writing 365 Investors have invested about $198k in Pencilish Studios in just a few short weeks! That was all just the “Friends and Family” preview - NOW begins the public launch, so that’s what I mean by “We're Just Getting Started”!
So, down to the nitty gritty - Pencilish Animation Studios is a brand new concept; something that has never been done before! We are NOT raising funds to make an animated feature film yet (though some of you want me to - and we intend to, but later), we are using this capitol to develop AND produce affordable animated content with great stories and characters, that we own the IP for, that will reach people right where they are 90% of the time- on their phones! Short form animated series (emphasis on “animated”- cough - Mr Katzenberg) is a brand new market that is a great way to get audiences to fall in love with characters and extremely clickable storylines! We can produce them quicker and with smaller teams.
Pencilish will hand pick the teams creating original IP (that we co-own) all over the world! We are a virtual studio! An animated feature film takes a minimum of three years (and many times 5 years) from start to screen, but we will be (once we are at speed) producing multiple new episodes every month!
This plan, I believe, has the quickest and least expensive potential ROI and traction possible for the lucrative animation market, but just know that even with all that going for us, animation will always be time consuming and costly. This is why our upfront spend of your investment will be larger than some companies. We have to take the time (about a year) and capital to produce these shows. Will it be worth it? I believe it will be - in ways we don’t even know exist yet! THIS is why I need you to tell your friends to invest! We have raised a lot, but we need as much as we can to make and market our MULTIPLE IPs!
With your help, WE can actually make a dent in the animation market! This is a Dream of mine that I’ve wanted my entire 30 year career - to create original content of my own and with other creators-and cutting out the middleman-has never been more possible than NOW with YOU!
Please Invest In and Share Pencilish Animation Studios!

Let’s do this! Viva La Revolution!    -Tom B.
