Hello There Zed-ites!
I am thrilled to reveal our new Frank & Zed enamel pins. We had several requests for these so we jumped in and made them.
Anyone who pledges to the new campaign can choose either the zombie goo OR the set of enamel pins as a special 'Thank you' reward. We also have new rewards including:
I want to make it extra clear that you do NOT need to pledge to the new campaign; you will still receive your rewards. However, supporting the new campaign will improve the movie.
Production on Frank & Zed continues. This Friday I received the super-exciting news that three of my dream musicians would be collaborating on the new score for Frank & Zed. This is a huge deal for the film and I cannot wait to share more details.
We've also begun production on the miniature for Murder Village. It's shaping up to be amazing.
Thank you so much for all your support. We are nearing the end of this film journey!

Hello there Zed-ites,
We are doing a Livestream tonight to discuss everything that went into creating Frank & Zed. I'll be joined by lead sculptor Erin DeBray to discuss how we make eyeballs, fiberglass molds, and beautiful sets out of garbage.
Jesse will be teaching a class tomorrow (Friday November 3rd) at the NW Film Center on working with puppets. More info here.
In other good news, we have hit our first funding goal for the second kickstarter. New rewards and other goodies are being added.Check it out here.
We ARE working on the film as well. (A big day recording voices yesterday) I will have more progress to share soon.
Best,
Jesse
Hello There Everyone,
I hope you are gearing up for an amazing Halloween; Frank & Zed are still bickering about what to wear (Laurel & Hardy is the current front runner).
Of course, right now we are in the final 10 days of the finishing funds Kickstarter. We have raised over $10,000 so far and I continued to be amazed and humbled by the support.
An anonymous donor has agreed to match all pledges made today up to $1,000. So, if you were thinking of snagging a shirt, hoodie, or prop from the film - now would be a great day to do it. As a reminder, you can pledge any of these items as 'Add Ons' and do not need to pledge at those tiers levels.
Also, all non-movie rewards ship this November (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Props, etc!). Please message me with any questions.

New Hero Prop Reward Added! (Sneak sale just for you!)
I've got 10 very special props from Frank & Zed that need new homes. One of them is pictured above! These props are all featured prominently in the film and come with a still of them in action, signed by the Director, Sculptor, and Lead Puppeteer on Frank & Zed.
I want to give you a headstart on snagging one. So, the reward is live now but I will not announce on FB or add images to the page until tomorrow.
I will be talking about how we made the sets, props, and puppets. Plus, I'll answer any questions you have. Feel free to comment or message me with questions and I'll answer them on the show.
Questions from the last livestream:
Work on the movie continues. We are gearing up to shoot the Spider from a recent update tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your support,
Best,
Jesse
