\nHere’s a thing I was pitching around to CN, Disney and Nickelodeon. I got some positive response from it, but to roughly quote one executive (who is a friend of mine): “This pitch is sort of like if L. Ron Hubbard decided to make a show.” essentially saying that it was too crazy. He was probably right. But I wasn’t going into those pitch meetings trying to make something I thought their network would like. I was going in to see if I could make something I would like, without trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. I wanted to see if I could pitch a straight mystical sci-fi thing and have someone give me money to do it. <\/p>\n

\nSo anyway this thing seems pretty dead, but here’s all the materials for you to peruse and judge for yourself. I also made a super quick comic to demonstrate how the characters would function with each other. I couldn’t decide on a name, so it was sometimes called “Alone”, sometimes “Above and Below”, and other times “The Shadow of Heaven”. <\/p>\n

\nP.S. if you are a high power exec and you want to make this, send me an email. I’ll still do it! <\/p>\n

\nThe character design for Froese looks like shit. I needed to work on her more. Also she was named after Edgar Froese of course!<\/p>\n
