latest updates on production

Hello everyone. Progress continues, and I am feeling excited still, and engaged still. I am releasing in full the first 7 minutes of the film, as a piolet or prelude. That will be called Control your Emotions. This short will be a first chapter of the film, and will be released in a compilation of new animated shorts that New Deer is assembling of its Animators . This piece will be the lone non-Japanese voice in this collection and I am honored to share the screen with so many of my heroes and international wonderfulls, Yoriko Mizushiri, Atsushi Wada, Sawako Kabuki, Masanobu Hiraoka… New Deer is the Japanese distributor for the film, and co-producers. This first of The Orbit of Minor Satellites (about seven minutes) will act as a pilot for the feature and give it some visibility for the release later in 2022. My animators are working less hours but still putting together amazing images. And excited to Have some more models and characters composited together to create the environment of the film.

Russian recordings are coming in the next month, and that will finish dialogue. also happy to have the velvet contralto voice of AJ McClenon, as documentary voice over and Hannah Gruen .

Excited to be part of an orbit preview short that will be coming out next year with other amazing animators currated by New Deer ,http://newdeer.net/en/about

release date for The Orbit of Minor Satellites, August 2023
