Hi Everyone!
First and foremost, I wanted to thank everyone for the incredible support and pattience you've displayed during the production of the short film. Thankfully, we're in the position to announce the short is complete and the surveys are ready to be sent!
While the surveys and short-film are ready to be launched, I think it's only fair to give the opportunity to step down from the project if someone feels like it, which I'd completely understand. There won't be any more delays though, as Tuesday's post is already scheduled!
You'll receive:
- Your survey
- A link to the short film + password.
In some cases (people who got limited edition prints from the short, etc), you'll need to watch the film before filling your survey in order to decide the shot you want.
A few months ago, still with a very incomplete version of Homework, we submitted it for consideration to participate at Malaga film festival. It's a pretty important festival in Spain, and also happens to be the city where the studio is based, so it was special for us. It's a very competitive festival, and the version we sent had unfinished music and sound (and even some shots), so we didn't expect much. But fortunately, they liked it enough to be part of the official selection!
Because of this nomination we found ourselves in a tricky situation. By their rules, I couldn't announce the nomination nor make the short available before their announcement (a week ago).
We planned on releasing the surveys + short film last month, but since we couldn't make the short available, and some surveys are dependant on you watching the short film first, it created a bottleneck where we couldn't really do much but wait.
During the whole production of Homework, I've seen myself in situations where I had to choose between delivering faster or make it better. I've always chosen the former, which has been frustrating sometimes, expensive many times, but in the end allowed us to create something much bigger.
Since the short-film was completed (excepting the sound) a couple months ago, we used this extra time to re-render it at much higher resolution than the originally planned.
In order to shorten the after-survey waiting time, we produced most of the rewards in advance, with some extras in case you want to include some addons. This is not the most cost-efficient approach, but saving time is important after all this wait!
If you don't know Joseba, he's a multi-awarded music composer, and we were very lucky to have him to help bringing life to those characters. He created a very unique and creative soundtrack, I can't wait for you to listen to it. In the meantime, make sure to check his work!
I am aware that time could be a big factor in the support you’ve given to me, so please feel free to contact me at [email protected] before March 5, and we'll be happy to help you with the withdrawal of your pledge, in case you prefer to have it.
I absolutely understand if that's your case. But if you're still happy with what we're doing, I can't thank you enough for that and I promise you won't regret it. I think that while you signed up for something different, we're creating something much bigger so hopefully, we make the wait worth it.
Hey everyone!
This one will be a shorter update than my usual ones, we're nearing the completion of the project!
First, regarding the production of the short, as you know, the music is the only part we're still working on. Without unveiling too much, I'm super happy about how the soundtrack is turning out, we're just going maybe a bit slower than I expected at this date.
The important part of this update, rewards sneak peeks! They're small clips but I thought you'd like to see them :) Also, an excerpt of the final storyboard we used (which I think that I never shared here) which will also be present in physical format in some of the rewards. I hope you like them!

In addition to that, we're already working with our printers in order to produce the art prints that will be signed, and regarding those who contain that reward, there would be some nice surprises :D
