🚨BIG NEWS!🚨 We are making an #indieanimation show about dysfunctional aliens stuck in space and we need voices! ✨VOLUNTEER VOICE ACTOR AUDITIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR ANDROMEDA SQUAD!✨ If you love comedy and sci-fi, then you might be the perfect fit to join us and yell in space. Details below! 👇👽

Showing the Sirenetta rough-cut to some (non-animation) friends tonight to get some audience feedback and just start sharing it with people. I’m nervous cuz it’s still so in-progress but also excited - my husband hasn’t even seen it yet

I wanted to make a nice little self portrait to reflect on 2025 with, but I couldn't really figure it out and got a little lost. Ultimately though, I think that's a good encapsulation of how this year has gone. There has been a lot of beauty, there has been a lot of darkness.

It’s time to export our year end rough cut 🤩 The movie’s already an hour and twenty five minutes long 😳 And we still have like half of act 3 to board 😱

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/KDYTiwF

gave the first concepts of the Sirenetta movie score a listen and

One of my bucket list items is to be able to walk into a store one day and see my characters on shelves - until then, I’ve got the Sirenetta OOAK I ordered back when the movie started production 🥰

Animation is consistently the most successful and profitable genre year after year... so the way the studios are strangling the industry with less and less green lights, development, and funding is utterly baffling.

I'm recording an all-drag ep of The QueerXP tonight, and one of our guests had to drop out. This is a hyper-specific request, but if anyone out there is free at 8pm Eastern for a game of Trans Vampire Cowboys.. AND is a BIPOC drag performer... please shoot me a message!

The last month has been one of the weirdest ones for me this year. The incredible joy of funding our Kickstarter was immediately coupled with exhaustion, finally realizing just how busy that campaign kept me. I thought I could hit the ground running, and I got so angry with myself when I couldn't.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

The Kickstarter for the Lady and the Mermaid launched!! Please repost, like, donate if you can!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/994...

do you ever watch the feet of animated characters to see how well they’re tracking with the scrolling background and realize that maybe you’ve been overthinking things on your own project?

In celebration of the success to @tinysiren.com 's Kickstarter campaign, I am doing a limited Your Character Here sale while raising funds for Feria de Comics happening at the end of the month! More info in the thread! ⬇️ #ych #yourcharacterhere #fundraiser #commissionsopen #mermaid

Huge congrats to this incredible project! Mermedia forever.

It’s been two days, and I’m still at a loss for words. I spent the last six months stressing over where I’d find the money to keep paying our team of artists, and I don’t know if its fully hit me yet that I can let that stress go.

There was confetti and everything!!!

Really happy for Matt and crew! Sirenetta has succeeded in their crowdfund so expect some more fancy magical mermaids in the future!

WE DID IT! Thank you so much to everyone who pledged, shared, supported, and helped Sirenetta swim to the finish line of our Kickstarter. I can't wait to share this film with you. 💖

So wildly proud of @mattbr.bsky.social and the whole Tiny Siren team!!!!

Love Seeing a win!! Congrats!!

They did it! 🔥🎉

WE DID IT!!!!!

W so big that it could be considered a new species of Whale.

Something very important to me. 🧜‍♀️🩷 @tinysiren.com

After 30 days, our Kickstarter campaign is almost at its end! I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this kind of support before - I know people have enjoyed Sirenetta over the years, but to have so many show up and help us keep telling her story is a totally different feeling. 🩵

I personally am unable to pledge at the moment but I encourage everyone to at least take a look!

The end is near! We have until MIDNIGHT to reach our goal of $60k on #Kickstarter & it’s all or nothing so every bit helps! Help support the team of artists making this #indieanimation by pledging NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattimation/sirenetta-part-time-mermaid

I finally pledged to help this movie come to life!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat... I've been following @tinysiren.com and @mattbr.bsky.social for a bit now. Please help them! They are so close to making this dream a reality!!!

Go and help my friend get funded!! It’s so easy!

COME ON GUYS LET’S GO! Get this everywhere you can and help us reach the goal!!! 😊👏👏👏 #IndieAnimation #Mermaid

Please give this campaign all the support it needs. Indie mer animation is sorely needed and this is already top quality!

So close! We're right there at the finish line!!! Just a little bit more and we got the rest of the film funded!!!
