The wonderful folks at @ Studio KÄ have started a monthly magazine called SPARK and Crocodile Dance gets a big feature 🙌🏾. We're honored to be spotlighted alongside African animation's history, current affairs, and rising creators. Read here: en.lestudioka.com/spark?utm_ca...
I literally had a Queen Idia mask on my wall growing up. Congrats to the team @nyamakop.co.za on the release of Relooted! We hope to follow in your digital footsteps soon enough. For now, time to loot!
Time flies! Some day, we need to get around to a sequel. Also, I have so many "almost" wild stories about trying to get a feature film/tv series made.
A fresh year, and we're feeling empowered, thanks to YOU. Why? Reminder 1: Crocodile Dance is FULLY FUNDED.🐊 Reminder 2: A few Late Pledges tiers are still open for 2 more weeks: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks

7 HOURS LEFT! The Mami Wata has been waiting for her Origin Story. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks She deserves the same craft and care Pixar & Disney gave Western Stories. Rewteet to spread the word!

We're Funded - Roukia Lives! bit.ly/croc-dance-ks What's next? Stretch Goals. First stop: $85K = Nigeria Research Trip. We visit Lagos, Badagry, Kano, record real griots, and we take you with us (virtually). Let's do this!
Take a breath* Seriously, though. Thank you to everyone who's pledged or shared, commented or checked in to see how I'm doing during this ride ❤️
Getting down to the end of the Kickstarter, so.... now's the time to pledge if you've been on the fence! 🐊❤️
In many Western tales, you're taught to slay your monsters. In ours, you dance with them. You heal them. Our film is in its final days on Kickstarter: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks

The weekend was legitimately rough. We had a backer pledge $10K... and then cancel within 24 hours. *Pretty sure it was a troll*. That said, the community response has been incredible. We're almost back to our pre-troll total!
What indeed? Well, an amazing trade, for one! Shof led writing on this final issue, and what he put together is hauntingly beautiful.
Some Kickstarter days can be a gut punch. Others, the exact opposite... I mean.... I think I'm going to have to re-read my copy of Binti tonight, right?
Thanks for the retweet, Claudio! ❤️
Thank you, Mitch! ❤️
Speechless! @kickstarter.com just tagged Crocodile Dance a #ProjectWeLove!
From @annecyfestival (Best Performance Prize) to Durban FilmMart to Creation Africa... to this moment. Seemed impossible, but our incredible team and backers believed.
Thank you. Keep Dancing. bit.ly/croc-dance-ks
It's time to Dance. Crocodile Dance is now LIVE on #kickstarter. Years, months, weeks of work. It's all come down to this. Couldn't be more proud of the team behind this. Have a look folks, and if you're so inclined, please back our epic film.
100% More than once, it's led me to completely change the original idea.
A little while back I sat down with Shof (currently jetting around the world with Crocodile Dance) to talk about the film.
Here’s the first clip, where he breaks down the myth and mystery of Mami Wata, the water goddess who haunts the film's protagonist.
This is what I've been working on with Shof for the past few months. A dark Africanfuturist animated thriller. Check it out, folks! #Kickstsarter
Happy spooky season, folks!
Finally made a Bindings account and put all the books on there for you to find stores online or close to you to buy them! bindings.app/shelf/WDGNba8H
