The Holy Circus

The Holy Circus

Project Overview

You are here to save those taken.


An angel was sent by "god" to find another named Michael. Michael was one of few who can see into the lives of those whose passed, and choose whether or not they go to heaven, or to hell.

On this search, they stumbled into an abandoned carnival, with a towering circus tent right in the center. On the outside, was a lady named Lilith, who said she had the information she needed, for something in return. Fate was sealed.

The angel must now find a way out without their wings, along with not just helping Michael to escape, but those who were unfortunate to find themselves grasped in Lilith's hands. With the new ability to see the memories of those who were stolen, are they able to find an advantage to overcome Lilith and her husband, or will they fail and be doomed to an afterlife of eternal performances down in hell



My name is Eli.

I have long dreamed of making my circus a reality. Over the course of 6 years, if not longer, I had built these characters up from music inspirations all the way to who they are now. I have a huge interest in psychology, albeit more how trauma affects people and how they grow from said trauma.
I have one goal for this story


I wish to make a show, indie or not, with these characters.


With this casting, I am wanting to find people not just to voice my characters, but to also help make my dream a reality. I want to be as hands on in this project as everyone else is.
The first part will be an animatic, and If I am able to get more hands on board, the quality of the animatic will improve drastically.


I want to pay everybody involved.

I am not a business, I am just one person, But I have a high respect for those who can create art and wish to pay if possible. If I do earn from this project, I will pay those who help what they deserve.

I appreciate your interest and any audition for this project!

NO AI WILL BE USED IN ANY PART OF THE PROJECT, IF FOUND OUT, YOU WILL BE KICKED AND BLACKLISTED FROM THE PROJECT

I swear I'm monolingual English these spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes are making me tweak so bad

Latest Updates

  • Trailer WIP, Kickstarter, Temp Roles, More

    Hi Guys another update! I've been watching from the sides in regards to the auditions and made a decision to relisten to all auditions halfway through the month (5days) and start sorting out roles.
    I cant express how much im grateful for everyone wishing to help with this project!
    I will also be reaching out to artists, engineers and more creative roles as well.
    Keep a lookout!

    Atm I am working on a small trailer and will reach out for Temp roles for it, voice wise I have what I need, but I will reach out if I need creative roles

    Once the trailer is finished, I will go in on creating a kickstarter! It will assist in funding the project to be able to fund all we need, along with that I will add roles to patreon. Patreon is already free so if you wanna watch the progress in production you are free to join!

    The support has been absolutely amazing and I cannot thank everyone enough! Along with the number of auditions! For the VA's I will wait until half of the deadline to actually start picking out and shortlisting.

  • Update Regarding Pay

    Ah yes another update
    BUT, this should hopefully be good

    I have updated everything in regards to payment to give some form of transparency

    I do plan to do any kind of funding source such as Patreon or Kickstarter

    Right now, it's just me in regards to work + money. I work 12 hour shifts at an ER yay me. BUT I am trying to save as much as possible and will be putting it aside for this project to pay what ya'll are deserved at LEAST for EP 1

    All payments can be negotiated in regards to any role as I'm not the best pricing wise and it always feels as if im underpaying

    In regards to Artists, Story boarders and Animators, we can negotiate and depending on what is needed, I will pay your personal commission rate + a bonus

    I care a lot about creators and what they do and I feel pay should be given out regardless on outcome

    I will be reaching out soon to those who auditioned for non VA roles so please keep an eye out (Hopefully soon)

    Thank you for reading this update and hope everybody has a wonderful day!

  • Added Sound Design + Fera Updated Design

    Hey! I've added SFX/Sound Engineer as a role, and everything is slowly moving!

    I've also updated Fera's design and will tweak and update everyones design slowly but surely!


    I am listening to everyone's auditions through the month and nearing the end of the call I will relisten and do the reach outs. I cant say enough how much I appreciate everyones intrest in this project.

    I will be posting updates on my twitter: https://x.com/Shiny_Lillia
    and Insta: https://www.instagram.com/elighted_fire/

  • Huge Thank You and Progress Updates

    First things first, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AUDITIONING AND EVERYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT!

    It makes me so happy to know everybody is here to help/support!
    At this moment I'm trying my hardest to get everything as organized as I can, especially as at this moment it's just me

    At the moment, I will do updated character sheets due to improvement in art and convenience design wise.
    There is actually another character who will be posted at a later time as he does not have any lines in the beginning but keep an eye out!

    Once again I am grateful for all the interest in this project and will keep going day by day!
