Hello, I'm currently casting three main high school teenage characters for my horror action 2D animated Candy Rot teaser trailer that'll be used as a proof of concept for the upcoming Indiegogo campaign. A budget will be raised to produce the 11min pilot. I have some contacts over at the horror streaming channel Shudder, and plan on pitching a series to them. But they want to see a completed episode.
The teaser is a collaboration. You'll get a copy of the final edit and screen credit. However you'll have a garanteed spot on the pilot.
Here's the show synopsis, characters, and designs.
In the small Massachusetts town of Pitchfork Falls, filled with supernatural Witch history, strange and unexplained things always seem to happen, but one is the most unusual to date. During the Halloween season of 1987, three horror loving teenagers from Forrest J. Ackerman High who call themselves The Jack-o-Lantern Society Greg, Beatrice and Adam must fight to save their beloved home from a local farmer turned radioactive pumpkin headed monster called Candy Rot, and his army of flesh eating zombies.
What will happen during the big showdown during the town's annual All Hallows Eve Carnival? Will our heroes prevail? You'll have to see it with your own eyes to believe it!
