Samuel Rouce

Here's a summary of my plans for the next seven years or so.

I'm an experienced animator, with both traditional 2D and 3D methods, who's working on some projects of my own. There's something about hand drawn animation that nothing else quite captures, and in my opinion, it never fully matured in the West beyond cartoons and musicals that were aimed toward children. So, after decades of waiting and listening to others make excuses that I know are complete hornswoggle, I've concluded that if I don't do it, then who's going to?

From 2025 to 2027, I'm making five animated shorts that are self-funded, each with a runtime of seven minutes, that will allow me to source and test a capable team. In 2028, I'm going to start work on a short film that's temporally called, "The Burrows," this production will also be primarily self-funded, though community support options will be available by this time. Then, in 2029, using the above portfolio as proof of competence, I’m going to source funding for a dark fantasy feature, that’s currently being written. Once done, in 2033 I'm going to build an independent animation studio, with a physical location.

Kind Regards, Rouce.
