A great group of people saw my vision and wanted to help me make this into reality and we were able to finally do it this past summer. My crew helped make the puppets, sew clothes, build sets, light sets and animate the puppets. It was a great time and I can't wait to do more.
The generosity of yourself and your friends is a testament of the quality of your character. People like you are the reason I love this dojo board community so much. Thank you for your energy, your work, your generosity, your sharing of skills, and your dedication. Can't wait to support this with my hard earned cash (especially because it will help out Sharon and Stan).

Much respect to you and your team Roel! Peace, maka

WOW roel!really really awesome trailer!I agree very much with maka, thank you so much!to see and hear from this project to me is like a SO pleasant suprise and I feel lucky to have taken notice of it some way!!..I feel joyously astounded that so many greatly gifted people have found together in their passion and worked hard to give us all a sweet exciting litlle story with our favourite wandering rabbit and his friends and foes!...the moment when the stranger enters the inn and there is a little pause for the lightning and the thunder to roll in?that is pure stan to me, bravo!very well done!
may I ask out of curiosity how long a short feature can we anticipate for?is it longer than 5 minutes already?
the sound effect and the lightning are so exquisite, too!oh and the clay puppets!I love how you guys made them...very excited for this!
thank you!!

Roel,
The teaser looks really cool, I can't wait to see the full version! I tried sending out a mass email to the DojoList. We should probably get this up on Facebook unless Steve has already done so....spread the word and all. A huge thank you for setting this up!!

Hi guys,

A dojo member was very excited and posted the trailer on FB. I wanted to keep this as an exclusive for the dojo but if it's out there it's out there. The dojo member was nice enough to contact me and told me he would take it down. I spoke with him and told him I liked what he wrote and to keep it up so it is also up on FB now too. Thanks Steve and Fanfan for noticing it.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying it and I hope you like the movie when it is released. Happy Holidays everyone!!!

The trailer looks great! I look forward to buying the DVD when it's released. Too bad it can't be longer. Have yall considered a kickstarter campaign to fund another full length movie like you envisioned?
