Happy Indie Animation Day!!

I’m currently writing the pilot for an episodic slice of life mystery called Detective Faith!

It’s about Faith solving mysteries in her small town with the help of her two best friends.

Introducing Charlie: the only person who can successfully ragebait Faith

Charlie’s favorite pastime is playing pranks at school. Whenever there is something suspicious going on, he’s usually Faith’s first suspect.

I made my pitch bible into a book bc why not

How many cartoons can you name where a Black boy is the hero? Not the sidekick, not the comic relief, but the center of the story, the one who gets to dream, to fall, to grow, to save the day. For too many Black boys, the first time they see themselves reflected back isn’t in a world of imagination it’s in headlines, obituaries, or mugshots. That kind of visibility shapes how the world sees them, and how they begin to see themselves.

FLY exists to shake up that narrative.

Coming soon: FLY : A Magical Black Boy Series - Pilot Animatic
