Ruffus The Dog’s Steampunk Adventure!

I’ve been playing it a bit close to the vest, but I’m happy to be able to announce that I am part of a GREAT kid’s feature film project: RUFFUS THE DOG’S STEAMPUNK ADVENTURE

Last May I spent a week working with an amazing group of actors, puppeteers, costumers, and filmmakers among whose credits number  beloved films and TV series like Labyrinth, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and The Big Comfy Couch, Beetlejuice: The Animated Series,  Goosebumps, and too many others to list. (I worked very hard to be totally pro and not fling my arms around Robbo every few minutes and squee “Ludo friend!”) We also worked with the amazingly talented students of Sheridan College.  It wasn’t my first time in a green screen studio, but it was certainly the biggest and most encompassing I’ve experienced, and it was my first time being surrounded with puppets, too! In just a week, the team filmed the first block of this fun, funny, and touching adventure.

The trailer is coming together, but in order for us to film the rest, we need your help.

Robbo Mills and the creative team behind this amazing computer animated and puppet-driven Steampunk feature film have 47 days to raise $32,000 – hopefully more – and that means making some noise about it!

Robbo will be adding updates to the IndieGoGo as the campaign continues – and watch the teaser trailer carefully, because it will evolve, grow, and expand.

That’s right, the more we raise, the more gets added to the trailer!

(How cool is that?)

There are already some great behind the scenes photos and production stills, so you can see that this will be a quality film for the whole Steampunkin’ family.

Please consider supporting this great artistic endeavour!
