Good luck. I hope you make it. The voice acting in the clip is strong. And I like the art. It looks like real human-created stuff. But my impression is that it is like a film of a graphic novel. Is this a thing? Maybe, in your campaign, a bit of clarification, here.

And i admire, actually kind of envy, your earnestness: describing your film, yourself, as poignant, deeply moving, powerful, etc.--an approach that may or may not work (WTF do I know?) but is certainly worth a shot.

It's a live-action film that has yet to be shot because we are in the fundraising process. The graphic artwork is concept frames that show the characters, tone, and style of the film. It is an intense emotional drama. As the writer and director, I do very much believe in the importance of the story and believe its message would resonate with audiences from a wide range of backgrounds.
