Melody of Shadows

Project Overview

The Plot:
Noah, a quiet boy who loves all things vintage, and his fearless friend Chloe discover an old record player and a mysterious, symbol-marked record tucked away in an antique shop. When they play it, they’re transported to Willow Nut Creek, a charming vintage town that seems frozen in time, filled with nostalgic charm but tinged with an eerie undercurrent.

Along with Kendrick, the school bully and Noah’s longtime enemy, they explore Willow Nut Creek’s inviting streets, where familiar sights hold an unsettling twist.

Only Noah is haunted by dreams of the Good Shepherd, a shadowy figure who warns him of hidden dangers in this seemingly idyllic town. By day, the gang is captivated by Oswald Morningstar, Willow Nut Creek’s charismatic mayor. But as Noah’s dreams grow more intense, he finds himself increasingly drawn to the mysteries hidden beneath the town’s charming surface.

Genre:
Animated Supernatural Mystery with a Christian Message

Vision:
The screenplay is nearly complete, and it’s brimming with potential. Visioning a 3D animated film that draws inspiration from the rich, immersive style of Pixar — vivid, captivating, and full of life. But more than just a visual experience, this story is designed to be both thrilling and profoundly Christ-centered, exploring themes of faith, redemption, and courage in a way that resonates across generations.

From the dynamic characters to the mysterious setting of Willow Nut Creek, every detail is crafted to engage audiences emotionally and spiritually. With a plot that balances adventure, suspense, and heartfelt moments, our vision is to create a film that sparks curiosity and conversation, bringing families together to explore deeper truths in an accessible, meaningful way. This project has become more than just a film; it’s a journey into timeless values and compelling storytelling.

Plan:
I’m aiming to raise the funds needed to assemble a talented, passionate team that can bring this story to life. This journey involves connecting with a dedicated production company and partnering with an experienced animation studio that shares our vision for creating something truly special. Every dollar raised will go directly toward making this dream a reality — from hiring skilled animators and voice actors to creating the vibrant world of Willow Nut Creek and ensuring the highest quality in every frame.

Together, we can transform this vision into an unforgettable film that entertains, inspires, and leaves a lasting impact. Let’s make this dream come alive on screen and create something extraordinary!

We've got a Kickstarter launched, if your interested, check it out!
