Used all my life savings to survive 2yrs while I animate 14-18hrs/day, 7days/wk, for the duration of production. Completed the film with the help of @kickstarter.com and began the film festival circuit; Annecy, Pixelatl, Ottawa, Sitges, Heartland, Filmquest. Currently figuring out a public release!

I just want to say, I’m several episodes into this, and I’m absolutely digging this series.
It’s a wonderful retro-future-punk story and world, with outstanding set design and compelling characters, with notes of Studio Ghibli.

With my new feature film, trying to figure out how to do this properly. My last feature was made for about $135 000 but that really only covers post vo, sound, & music (with most still working at super low pay). I wasn’t paid either & had to self fund. Trying to get proper funding now.

I only had enough savings to survive for 2 yrs without an income so it was a crazy mad rush from beginning to end to make this film. No time to second guess or think.
Ticket sales end tomorrow but if you buy a ticket, you’ll have it for 5 days then it’s gone!

Only a few days left to catch this brilliant animated film made mostly by one guy over the course of 2 years. It's PWYC so no reason not to go check it out before it's gone.

So fascinated to know people’s preferred watching order! Thanks @novanone.bsky.social! So cool to hear this!
I am SO glad I watched The First Monolith before watching The Worlds Divide. What an absolutely stellar duology with a mystery that was SO fun to put together piece by piece.
You got a couple more days to support @djaxx.bsky.social's Esluna project, so please do yourself a favor and do it!

Here are some bg paintings I did for the worlds divide. The camera moves down these backgrounds which is why they’re so tall. You can watch the film here for a limited time only:

I watched The indie animated movie The Worlds Divide and it was pretty good
I've also decided I'm gonna participate in this thing called Animatictober someone over on Instagram made.
Maybe if I make a nice looking animatic I won't be a nobody artist anymore

Oh. My. Gosh. I watched it this evening: thank you. What a beautiful, beautiful film. I loved the colours, the glow, the light through windows, the sparkle on the water.

The Worlds Divide showcase the unlimited potential of true independent animated movies. Despite its micro-budget which explains the slightly lower quality animation, this movie is very immersive and imaginative worth seeing for!
