About
I’m making a 15-minute animated story about a boy who spends his mom’s last $600 trying to be happy on the internet. It’s funny, sad, and honest. It shows how screens can feel safer than real life.
Impact
MOMS helps people feel seen. Many young people joke about their pain because they have nowhere to put it. This film gives form to that quiet struggle and opens space for empathy, reflection, and real conversation.
Progress
The full 8-episode world is complete: scriptment, character bible, story arcs, key art, teaser, visual style, and production plan. All assets for the pilot are ready. I work alone, but the universe is fully built.
Team
I grew up inside the same internet the story critiques. I know its loneliness, humor, and pressure. MOMS is not theory for me, it’s lived experience. I’ve built this world alone for years. I’m ready to bring it to life.
